Module: testing.plugin.test_ipdoctest

Tests for the ipdoctest machinery itself.

Note: in a file named test_X, functions whose only test is their docstring (as a doctest) and which have no test functionality of their own, should be called ‘doctest_foo’ instead of ‘test_foo’, otherwise they get double-counted (the empty function call is counted as a test, which just inflates tests numbers artificially).

4 Functions

In [1]: 1 Out[1]: 1

In [2]: print 1 1

IPython.testing.plugin.test_ipdoctest.doctest_multiline1()

The ipdoctest machinery must handle multiline examples gracefully.

In [2]: for i in range(4):

...: print i ...:

0 1 2 3

IPython.testing.plugin.test_ipdoctest.doctest_multiline2()

Multiline examples that define functions and print output.

In [7]: def f(x):

...: return x+1 ...:

In [8]: f(1) Out[8]: 2

In [9]: def g(x):

...: print ‘x is:’,x ...:

In [10]: g(1) x is: 1

In [11]: g(‘hello’) x is: hello

IPython.testing.plugin.test_ipdoctest.doctest_multiline3()

Multiline examples with blank lines.

In [12]: def h(x):

....: if x>1: ....: return x**2 ....: # To leave a blank line in the input, you must mark it ....: # with a comment character: ....: # ....: # otherwise the doctest parser gets confused. ....: else: ....: return -1 ....:

In [13]: h(5) Out[13]: 25

In [14]: h(1) Out[14]: -1
