Changes

2.3.4 (31 January 2012)

• Fixed compatibility with Python 2.5
• Fixed compatibility with Python 2.7
• Development model moved to continuous integration using Jenkins.
• Introduced Tox based testing to ensure packaging and dependencies are as expected.
• 100% line and branch coverage with tests.
• Mark test_datetime, test_date and test_time such that nose doesn’t mistake them as tests.

2.3.3 (12 December 2011)

• Fixed a bug where when a target was replaced more than once using a single Replacer, restore() would not correctly restore the original.

2.3.2 (10 November 2011)

• Fixed a bug where attributes and keys could not be removed by a Replacer as described in Removing attributes and dictionary items if the attribute or key might not be there, such as where a test wants to ensure an os.environ variable is not set.

2.3.1 (8 November 2011)

• Move to use nose for running the TestFixtures unit tests.
• Fixed a bug where tdatetime.now() returned an instance of the wrong type when tzinfo was passed in strict mode.

2.3.0 (11 October 2011)

• Replacer, TempDirectory, LogCapture and TestComponents instances will now warn if the process they are created in exits without them being cleaned up. Instances of these classes should be cleaned up at the end of each test and these warnings serve to point to a cause for possible mysterious failures elsewhere.

2.2.0 (4 October 2011)

• Add a strict mode to test_datetime and test_date. When used, instances returned from the mocks are instances of those mocks. The default behaviour is now to return instances of the real datetime and date classes instead, which is usually much more useful.

2.1.0 (29 September 2011)

• Add a strict mode to compare(). When used, it ensures that the values compared are not only equal but also of the same type. This mode is not used by default, and the default mode restores the more commonly useful functionality where values of similar types but that aren’t equal give useful feedback about differences.

2.0.1 (23 September 2011)

• add back functionality to allow comparison of generators with non-generators. See the docs for details.

2.0.0 (23 September 2011)

• compare() now uses a registry of comparers that can be modified either by passing a registry option to compare() or, globally, using the register() function.
• added a comparer for set instances to compare().
• added a new show_whitespace parameter to compare_text(), the comparer used when comparing strings and unicodes with compare().
• The internal queue for test_datetime is now considered to be in local time. This has implication on the values returned from both now() and utcnow() when tzinfo is passed to the test_datetime constructor.
• set() and add() on test_date, test_datetime and test_time now accept instances of the appropriate type as an alternative to just passing in the parameters to create the instance.
• Refactored the monolithic __init__.py into modules for each type of functionality.

1.12.0 (16 August 2011)

• Add a captured property to OutputCapture so that more complex assertion can be made about the output that has been captured.
• OutputCapture context managers can now be temporarily disabled using their disable() method.
• Logging can now be captured only when it exceeds a specified logging level.
• The handling of timezones has been reworked in both test_datetime() and test_time(). This is not backwards compatible but is much more useful and correct.

1.11.3 (3 August 2011)

• Fix bugs where various test_date(), test_datetime() and test_time() methods didn’t accept keyword parameters.

1.11.2 (28 July 2011)

• Fix for 1.10 and 1.11 releases that didn’t include non-.py files as a result of the move from subversion to git.

1.11.1 (28 July 2011)

• Fix bug where tdatetime.now() didn’t accept the tz parameter that datetime.datetime.now() did.

1.11.0 (27 July 2011)

• Give more useful output when comparing dicts and their subclasses.
• Turn should_raise into a decorator form of ShouldRaise rather than the rather out-moded wrapper function that it was.

1.10.0 (19 July 2011)

• Remove dependency on zope.dottedname.
• Implement the ability to mock out dict and list items using Replacer and replace().
• Implement the ability to remove attributes and dict items using Replacer and replace().

1.9.2 (20 April 2011)

• Fix for issue #328: utcnow() of test_datetime() now returns items from the internal queue in the same way as now().

1.9.1 (11 March 2011)

• Fix bug when ShouldRaise context managers incorrectly reported what exception was incorrectly raised when the incorrectly raised exception was a KeyError.

1.9.0 (11 February 2011)

• Added TestComponents for getting a sterile registry when testing code that uses zope.component.

1.8.0 (14 January 2011)

• Added full Sphinx-based documentation.
• added a Manuel plugin for reading and writing files into a TempDirectory.
• any existing log handlers present when a LogCapture is installed for a particular logger are now removed.
• fix the semantics of should_raise, which should always expect an exception to be raised!
• added the ShouldRaise context manager.
• added recursive support to TempDirectory.listdir() and added the new TempDirectory.check_all() method.
• added support for forward-slash separated paths to all relevant TempDirectory methods.
• added TempDirectory.getpath() method.
• allow files and directories to be ignored by a regular expression specification when using TempDirectory.
• made Comparison objects work when the attributes expected might be class attributes.
• re-implement test_time() so that it uses the correct way to get timezone-less time.
• added set() along with delta and delta_type parameters to test_date(), test_datetime() and test_time().
• allow the date class returned by the tdatetime.date() method to be configured.
• added the OutputCapture context manager.
• added the StringComparison class.
• added options to ignore trailing whitespace and blank lines when comparing multi-line strings with compare().
• fixed bugs in the handling of some exception types when using Comparison, ShouldRaise or should_raise.
• changed wrap() to correctly set __name__, along with some other attributes, which should help when using the decorators with certain testing frameworks.

1.7.0 (20 January 2010)

• fixed a bug where the @replace decorator passed a classmethod rather than the replacment to the decorated callable when replacing a classmethod
• added set method to test_date, test_datetime and test_time to allow setting the parameters for the next instance to be returned.
• added delta and delta_type parameters to test_date,test_datetime and test_time to control the intervals between returned instances.

1.6.2 (23 September 2009)

• changed Comparison to use __eq__ and __ne__ instead of the deprecated __cmp__
• documented that order matters when using Comparisons with objects that implement __eq__ themselves, such as instances of Django models.

1.6.1 (06 September 2009)

• @replace and Replacer.replace can now replace attributes that may not be present, provided the strict parameter is passed as False.
• should_raise now catches BaseException rather than Exception so raising of SystemExit and KeyboardInterrupt can be tested.

1.6.0 (09 May 2009)

• added support for using TempDirectory, Replacer and LogCapture as context managers.
• fixed test failure in Python 2.6.

1.5.4 (11 Feb 2009)

• fix bug where should_raise didn’t complain when no exception was raised but one was expected.
• clarified that the return of a should_raise call will be None in the event that an exception is raised but no expected exception is specified.

1.5.3 (17 Dec 2008)

• should_raise now supports methods other than __call__

1.5.2 (14 Dec 2008)

• added makedir and check_dir methods to TempDirectory and added support for sub directories to read and write

1.5.1 (12 Dec 2008)

• added path parameter to write method of TempDirectory so that the full path of the file written can be easilly obtained

1.5.0 (12 Dec 2008)

• added handy read and write methods to TempDirectory for creating and reading files in the temporary directory
• added support for rich comparison of objects that don’t support vars()

1.4.0 (12 Dec 2008)

1.3.0 (9 Dec 2008)

• added TempDirectory helper
• added tempdir decorator

1.2.0 (3 Dec 2008)

• LogCaptures now auto-install on creation unless configured otherwise
• LogCaptures now have a clear method
• LogCaptures now have a class method uninstall_all that uninstalls all instances of LogCapture. Handy for a tearDown method in doctests.

1.1.0 (3 Dec 2008)

• add support to Comparisons for only comparing some attributes
• move to use zope.dottedname

1.0.0 (26 Nov 2008)
