11 * Perl module now correctly outputs "failure" instead of "fail". (Stewart Smith)
13 * Shell functions now output timestamps. (Stewart Smith, Robert Collins)
15 * 'subunit2csv' script that converts subunit output to CSV format.
18 * ``TagCollapsingDecorator`` now correctly distinguishes between local and
19 global tags. (Jonathan Lange)
24 * Add 'subunit --no-xfail', which will omit expected failures from the subunit
25 stream. (John Arbash Meinel, #623642)
27 * Add 'subunit -F/--only-genuine-failures' which sets all of '--no-skips',
28 '--no-xfail', '--no-passthrough, '--no-success', and gives you just the
29 failure stream. (John Arbash Meinel)
31 * Tag support has been implemented for TestProtocolClient.
32 (Robert Collins, #518016)
34 * Test suite works with latest testtools (but not older ones - formatting
35 changes only). (Robert Collins)
40 The Subunit Python test runner ``python -m subunit.run`` can now report the
41 test ids and also filter via a test id list file thanks to improvements in
42 ``testtools.run``. See the testtools manual, or testrepository - a major
43 user of such functionality.
45 Additionally the protocol now has a keyword uxsuccess for Unexpected Success
46 reporting. Older parsers will report tests with this status code as 'lost
52 * Add ``TimeCollapsingDecorator`` which collapses multiple sequential time()
53 calls into just the first and last. (Jonathan Lange)
55 * Add ``TagCollapsingDecorator`` which collapses many tags() calls into one
56 where possible. (Jonathan Lange, Robert Collins)
58 * Force flush of writes to stdout in c/tests/test_child.
59 (Jelmer Vernooij, #687611)
61 * Provisional Python 3.x support.
62 (Robert Collins, Tres Seaver, Martin[gz], #666819)
64 * ``subunit.chunked.Decoder`` Python class takes a new ``strict`` option,
65 which defaults to ``True``. When ``False``, the ``Decoder`` will accept
66 incorrect input that is still unambiguous. i.e. subunit will not barf if
67 a \r is missing from the input. (Martin Pool)
69 * ``subunit-filter`` preserves the relative ordering of ``time:`` statements,
70 so you can now use filtered streams to gather data about how long it takes
71 to run a test. (Jonathan Lange, #716554)
73 * ``subunit-ls`` now handles a stream with time: instructions that start
74 partway through the stream (which may lead to strange times) more gracefully.
75 (Robert Collins, #785954)
77 * ``subunit-ls`` should handle the new test outcomes in Python2.7 better.
78 (Robert Collins, #785953)
80 * ``TestResultFilter`` now collapses sequential calls to time().
81 (Jonathan Lange, #567150)
83 * ``TestResultDecorator.tags()`` now actually works, and is no longer a buggy
84 copy/paste of ``TestResultDecorator.time()``. (Jonathan Lange, #681828)
86 * ``TestResultFilter`` now supports a ``fixup_expected_failures``
87 argument. (Jelmer Vernooij, #755241)
89 * The ``subunit.run`` Python module supports ``-l`` and ``--load-list`` as
90 per ``testtools.run``. This required a dependency bump due to a small
91 API change in ``testtools``. (Robert Collins)
93 * The help for subunit-filter was confusing about the behaviour of ``-f`` /
94 ``--no-failure``. (Robert Collins, #703392)
96 * The Python2.7 / testtools addUnexpectedSuccess API is now supported. This
97 required adding a new status code to the protocol. (Robert Collins, #654474)
102 * testtools 0.9.11 or newer is new needed (due to the Python 3 support).
108 This release of subunit fixes a number of unicode related bugs. This depends on
109 testtools 0.9.4 and will not function without it. Thanks to Tres Seaver there
110 is also an optional native setup.py file for use with easy_install and the
116 * Be consistent about delivering unicode content to testtools StringException
117 class which has become (appropriately) conservative. (Robert Collins)
119 * Fix incorrect reference to subunit_test_failf in c/README.
120 (Brad Hards, #524341)
122 * Fix incorrect ordering of tags method parameters in TestResultDecorator. This
123 is purely cosmetic as the parameters are passed down with no interpretation.
124 (Robert Collins, #537611)
126 * Old style tracebacks with no encoding info are now treated as UTF8 rather
127 than some-random-codec-like-ascii. (Robert Collins)
129 * On windows, ProtocolTestCase and TestProtocolClient will set their streams to
130 binary mode by calling into msvcrt; this avoids having their input or output
131 mangled by the default line ending translation on that platform.
132 (Robert Collins, Martin [gz], #579296)
137 * Subunit now has a setup.py for python deployments that are not using
138 distribution packages. (Tres Seaver, #538181)
140 * Subunit now supports test discovery by building on the testtools support for
141 it. You can take advantage of it with "python -m subunit.run discover [path]"
142 and see "python -m subunit.run discover --help" for more options.
144 * Subunit now uses the improved unicode support in testtools when outputting
145 non-details based test information; this should consistently UTF8 encode such
148 * The Python TestProtocolClient now flushes output on startTest and stopTest.
158 * make check was failing if subunit wasn't installed due to a missing include
159 path for the test program test_child.
161 * make distcheck was failing due to a missing $(top_srcdir) rune.
166 * New filter `subunit-notify` that will show a notification window with test
167 statistics when the test run finishes.
169 * subunit.run will now pipe its output to the command in the
170 SUBUNIT_FORMATTER environment variable, if set.
178 * subunit2junitxml -f required a value, this is now fixed and -f acts as a
179 boolean switch with no parameter.
181 * Building with autoconf 2.65 is now supported.
189 * License change, by unanimous agreement of contributors to BSD/Apache
190 License Version 2.0. This makes Subunit compatible with more testing
195 * CPPUnit is now directly supported: subunit builds a cppunit listener
196 ``libcppunit-subunit``.
198 * In the python API ``addExpectedFailure`` and ``addUnexpectedSuccess``
199 from python 2.7/3.1 are now supported. ``addExpectedFailure`` is
200 serialised as ``xfail``, and ``addUnexpectedSuccess`` as ``success``.
201 The ``ProtocolTestCase`` parser now calls outcomes using an extended
202 API that permits attaching arbitrary MIME resources such as text files
203 log entries and so on. This extended API is being developed with the
204 Python testing community, and is in flux. ``TestResult`` objects that
205 do not support the API will be detected and transparently downgraded
206 back to the regular Python unittest API.
208 * INSTALLDIRS can be set to control the perl MakeMaker 'INSTALLDIRS'
209 viarable when installing.
211 * Multipart test outcomes are tentatively supported; the exact protocol
212 for them, both serialiser and object is not yet finalised. Testers and
213 early adopters are sought. As part of this and also in an attempt to
214 provider a more precise focus on the wire protocol and toolchain,
215 Subunit now depends on testtools (http://launchpad.net/testtools)
216 release 0.9.0 or newer.
218 * subunit2junitxml supports a new option, --forward which causes it
219 to forward the raw subunit stream in a similar manner to tee. This
220 is used with the -o option to both write a xml report and get some
221 other subunit filter to process the stream.
223 * The C library now has ``subunit_test_skip``.
227 * Install progress_model.py correctly.
229 * Non-gcc builds will no longer try to use gcc specific flags.
230 (Thanks trondn-norbye)
243 * A number of filters now support ``--no-passthrough`` to cause all
244 non-subunit content to be discarded. This is useful when precise control
245 over what is output is required - such as with subunit2junitxml.
247 * A small perl parser is now included, and a new ``subunit-diff`` tool
248 using that is included. (Jelmer Vernooij)
250 * Subunit streams can now include optional, incremental lookahead
251 information about progress. This allows reporters to make estimates
252 about completion, when such information is available. See the README
253 under ``progress`` for more details.
255 * ``subunit-filter`` now supports regex filtering via ``--with`` and
256 ``without`` options. (Martin Pool)
258 * ``subunit2gtk`` has been added, a filter that shows a GTK summary of a
261 * ``subunit2pyunit`` has a --progress flag which will cause the bzrlib
262 test reporter to be used, which has a textual progress bar. This requires
263 a recent bzrlib as a minor bugfix was required in bzrlib to support this.
265 * ``subunit2junitxml`` has been added. This filter converts a subunit
266 stream to a single JUnit style XML stream using the pyjunitxml
269 * The shell functions support skipping via ``subunit_skip_test`` now.
273 * ``xfail`` outcomes are now passed to python TestResult's via
274 addExpectedFailure if it is present on the TestResult. Python 2.6 and
275 earlier which do not have this function will have ``xfail`` outcomes
276 passed through as success outcomes as earlier versions of subunit did.
280 * tags are no longer passed around in python via the ``TestCase.tags``
281 attribute. Instead ``TestResult.tags(new_tags, gone_tags)`` is called,
282 and like in the protocol, if called while a test is active only applies
283 to that test. (Robert Collins)
285 * ``TestResultFilter`` takes a new optional constructor parameter
286 ``filter_predicate``. (Martin Pool)
288 * When a progress: directive is encountered in a subunit stream, the
289 python bindings now call the ``progress(offset, whence)`` method on
292 * When a time: directive is encountered in a subunit stream, the python
293 bindings now call the ``time(seconds)`` method on ``TestResult``.
297 * (python) Added ``subunit.test_results.AutoTimingTestResultDecorator``. Most
298 users of subunit will want to wrap their ``TestProtocolClient`` objects
299 in this decorator to get test timing data for performance analysis.
301 * (python) ExecTestCase supports passing arguments to test scripts.
303 * (python) New helper ``subunit.test_results.HookedTestResultDecorator``
304 which can be used to call some code on every event, without having to
305 implement all the event methods.
307 * (python) ``TestProtocolClient.time(a_datetime)`` has been added which
308 causes a timestamp to be output to the stream.
