    rbtools.utils.testbase¶

    Legacy testing support for RBTools.

    Deprecated since version 3.0: This will be removed in RBTools 4.0.

    Classes

    RBTestBase([methodName])

    Legacy base class for RBTools unit tests.

    class rbtools.utils.testbase.RBTestBase(methodName='runTest')[source]¶

    Bases: TestCase

    Legacy base class for RBTools unit tests.

    This has been replaced by rbtools.testing.testcase.TestCase. Subclasses should switch to that, and set rbtools.testing.testcase.TestCase.needs_home to True if the tests all need to run in their own home directory.

    Deprecated since version 3.0: This will be removed in RBTools 4.0.

    classmethod setUpClass()[source]¶

    Hook method for setting up class fixture before running tests in the class.

    needs_temp_home: bool = True[source]¶

    Whether individual unit tests need a new temporary HOME directory.

    If set, a directory will be created at test startup, and will be set as the home directory.

    New in version 3.0.

    Keep up with the latest Review Board releases, security updates, and helpful information.
