11 This release of subunit fixes a number of unicode related bugs. This depends on
12 testtools 0.9.4 and will not function without it. Thanks to Tres Seaver there
13 is also an optional native setup.py file for use with easy_install and the
19 * Be consistent about delivering unicode content to testtools StringException
20 class which has become (appropriately) conservative. (Robert Collins)
22 * Fix incorrect reference to subunit_test_failf in c/README.
25 * Fix incorrect ordering of tags method parameters in TestResultDecorator. This
26 is purely cosmetic as the parameters are passed down with no interpretation.
27 (Robert Collins, #537611)
29 * Old style tracebacks with no encoding info are now treated as UTF8 rather
30 than some-random-codec-like-ascii. (Robert Collins)
32 * On windows, ProtocolTestCase and TestProtocolClient will set their streams to
33 binary mode by calling into msvcrt; this avoids having their input or output
34 mangled by the default line ending translation on that platform.
35 (Robert Collins, Martin [gz], #579296)
40 * Subunit now has a setup.py for python deployments that are not using
41 distribution packages. (Tres Seaver, #538181)
43 * Subunit now supports test discovery by building on the testtools support for
44 it. You can take advantage of it with "python -m subunit.run discover [path]"
45 and see "python -m subunit.run discover --help" for more options.
47 * Subunit now uses the improved unicode support in testtools when outputting
48 non-details based test information; this should consistently UTF8 encode such
57 * make check was failing if subunit wasn't installed due to a missing include
58 path for the test program test_child.
60 * make distcheck was failing due to a missing $(top_srcdir) rune.
65 * New filter `subunit-notify` that will show a notification window with test
66 statistics when the test run finishes.
68 * subunit.run will now pipe its output to the command in the
69 SUBUNIT_FORMATTER environment variable, if set.
77 * subunit2junitxml -f required a value, this is now fixed and -f acts as a
78 boolean switch with no parameter.
80 * Building with autoconf 2.65 is now supported.
88 * License change, by unanimous agreement of contributors to BSD/Apache
89 License Version 2.0. This makes Subunit compatible with more testing
94 * CPPUnit is now directly supported: subunit builds a cppunit listener
95 ``libcppunit-subunit``.
97 * In the python API ``addExpectedFailure`` and ``addUnexpectedSuccess``
98 from python 2.7/3.1 are now supported. ``addExpectedFailure`` is
99 serialised as ``xfail``, and ``addUnexpectedSuccess`` as ``success``.
100 The ``ProtocolTestCase`` parser now calls outcomes using an extended
101 API that permits attaching arbitrary MIME resources such as text files
102 log entries and so on. This extended API is being developed with the
103 Python testing community, and is in flux. ``TestResult`` objects that
104 do not support the API will be detected and transparently downgraded
105 back to the regular Python unittest API.
107 * INSTALLDIRS can be set to control the perl MakeMaker 'INSTALLDIRS'
108 viarable when installing.
110 * Multipart test outcomes are tentatively supported; the exact protocol
111 for them, both serialiser and object is not yet finalised. Testers and
112 early adopters are sought. As part of this and also in an attempt to
113 provider a more precise focus on the wire protocol and toolchain,
114 Subunit now depends on testtools (http://launchpad.net/testtools)
115 release 0.9.0 or newer.
117 * subunit2junitxml supports a new option, --forward which causes it
118 to forward the raw subunit stream in a similar manner to tee. This
119 is used with the -o option to both write a xml report and get some
120 other subunit filter to process the stream.
122 * The C library now has ``subunit_test_skip``.
126 * Install progress_model.py correctly.
128 * Non-gcc builds will no longer try to use gcc specific flags.
129 (Thanks trondn-norbye)
142 * A number of filters now support ``--no-passthrough`` to cause all
143 non-subunit content to be discarded. This is useful when precise control
144 over what is output is required - such as with subunit2junitxml.
146 * A small perl parser is now included, and a new ``subunit-diff`` tool
147 using that is included. (Jelmer Vernooij)
149 * Subunit streams can now include optional, incremental lookahead
150 information about progress. This allows reporters to make estimates
151 about completion, when such information is available. See the README
152 under ``progress`` for more details.
154 * ``subunit-filter`` now supports regex filtering via ``--with`` and
155 ``without`` options. (Martin Pool)
157 * ``subunit2gtk`` has been added, a filter that shows a GTK summary of a
160 * ``subunit2pyunit`` has a --progress flag which will cause the bzrlib
161 test reporter to be used, which has a textual progress bar. This requires
162 a recent bzrlib as a minor bugfix was required in bzrlib to support this.
164 * ``subunit2junitxml`` has been added. This filter converts a subunit
165 stream to a single JUnit style XML stream using the pyjunitxml
168 * The shell functions support skipping via ``subunit_skip_test`` now.
172 * ``xfail`` outcomes are now passed to python TestResult's via
173 addExpectedFailure if it is present on the TestResult. Python 2.6 and
174 earlier which do not have this function will have ``xfail`` outcomes
175 passed through as success outcomes as earlier versions of subunit did.
179 * tags are no longer passed around in python via the ``TestCase.tags``
180 attribute. Instead ``TestResult.tags(new_tags, gone_tags)`` is called,
181 and like in the protocol, if called while a test is active only applies
182 to that test. (Robert Collins)
184 * ``TestResultFilter`` takes a new optional constructor parameter
185 ``filter_predicate``. (Martin Pool)
187 * When a progress: directive is encountered in a subunit stream, the
188 python bindings now call the ``progress(offset, whence)`` method on
191 * When a time: directive is encountered in a subunit stream, the python
192 bindings now call the ``time(seconds)`` method on ``TestResult``.
196 * (python) Added ``subunit.test_results.AutoTimingTestResultDecorator``. Most
197 users of subunit will want to wrap their ``TestProtocolClient`` objects
198 in this decorator to get test timing data for performance analysis.
200 * (python) ExecTestCase supports passing arguments to test scripts.
202 * (python) New helper ``subunit.test_results.HookedTestResultDecorator``
203 which can be used to call some code on every event, without having to
204 implement all the event methods.
206 * (python) ``TestProtocolClient.time(a_datetime)`` has been added which
207 causes a timestamp to be output to the stream.
