Products.PloneTestCase 0.9.15

Products.PloneTestCase is a thin layer on top of the ZopeTestCase package. It has been developed to simplify testing of Plone-based applications and products.

The PloneTestCase package provides:

 * The function installProduct to install a Zope product into the test environment.
 * The function installPackage to install a Python package registered via five:registerPackage into the test environment. Requires Zope 2.10.4 or higher.
 * The function setupPloneSite to create a Plone portal in the test db.

 Note: setupPloneSite accepts an optional products argument, which allows you to specify a list of products that will be added to the portal using the quickinstaller tool. Since 0.8.2 you can also pass an extension_profiles argument to import GS extension profiles.
 * The class PloneTestCase of which to derive your test cases.
 * The class FunctionalTestCase of which to derive your test cases for functional unit testing.
 * The classes Sandboxed and Functional to mix-in with your own test cases.
 * The constants portal_name, portal_owner, default_policy, default_products, default_base_profile, default_extension_profiles, default_user, and default_password.
 * The constant PLONE21 which evaluates to true for Plone versions >= 2.1.
 * The constant PLONE25 which evaluates to true for Plone versions >= 2.5.
 * The constant PLONE30 which evaluates to true for Plone versions >= 3.0.
 * The constant PLONE31 which evaluates to true for Plone versions >= 3.1.
 * The constant PLONE32 which evaluates to true for Plone versions >= 3.2.
 * The constant PLONE33 which evaluates to true for Plone versions >= 3.3.
 * The constant PLONE40 which evaluates to true for Plone versions >= 4.0.
 * The constant PLONE50 which evaluates to true for Plone versions >= 5.0.
 * The module utils which contains all utility functions from the ZopeTestCase package.

Example PloneTestCase

from Products.PloneTestCase import PloneTestCase

PloneTestCase.installProduct('SomeProduct')
PloneTestCase.setupPloneSite(products=('SomeProduct',))

class TestSomething(PloneTestCase.PloneTestCase):

 def afterSetup(self):
 self.folder.invokeFactory('Document', 'doc')

 def testEditDocument(self):
 self.folder.doc.edit(text_format='plain', text='data')
 self.assertEqual(self.folder.doc.EditableBody(), 'data')

Example PloneTestCase setup with GenericSetup

from Products.PloneTestCase import PloneTestCase

PloneTestCase.installProduct('SomeProduct')
PloneTestCase.setupPloneSite(extension_profiles=('SomeProduct:default',))

Please see the docs of the ZopeTestCase package, especially those of the PortalTestCase class.

Look at the example tests in this directory to get an idea of how to use the PloneTestCase package. Also see the tests shipping with Plone.
