Getting Started

Install the module with: pip install sublime_plugin_tests

Then, write your tests:

# Load in test framework
from sublime_plugin_tests import framework

# Define a TestCase
class TestLeftDelete(framework.TestCase):
  def test_left_delete_single(self):
      # Each test function *must* return Python with a `run` function
      # `run` will be run inside Sublime Text. Perform your assertions etc there.
      return """
# Use ScratchView utility provided by `sublime_plugin_tests`
from utils.scratch_view import ScratchView

def run():
  # Generate new scratch file
  scratch_view = ScratchView()
  try:
      # Update the content and selection `ab|c`
      scratch_view.set_content('abc')
      scratch_view.set_sel([(2, 2)])

      # Delete one character to the left `a|c
      scratch_view.run_command('left_delete')

      # Assert the current content
      assert scratch_view.get_content() == 'ac'
  finally:
      # No matter what happens, close the view
      scratch_view.destroy()
"""

$ # Run tests via nosetests
$ nosetests
.

Architecture

Framework takes each test function, wraps it in a test harness, runs it, and asserts whether the harness saw an error or not.

The test harness generates a temporary Sublime Text plugin which runs your test in the context of Sublime. This harness is launched via a CLI invocation of Sublime Text.

The output and assertions of each test function are reported back to nosetests which prints to stdout and exits.

Contributing

In lieu of a formal styleguide, take care to maintain the existing coding style. Add unit tests for any new or changed functionality. Test via ./test.sh.

If you would like to headlessly run the tests, this repository can be used with Vagrant.

Currently, it is only configured for Sublime Text 3.
