11 * Fix incorrect reference to subunit_test_failf in c/README.
14 * Fix incorrect ordering of tags method parameters in TestResultDecorator. This
15 is purely cosmetic as the parameters are passed down with no interpretation.
16 (Robert Collins, #537611)
18 * Old style tracebacks with no encoding info are now treated as UTF8 rather
19 than some-random-codec-like-ascii. (Robert Collins)
21 * On windows, ProtocolTestCase and TestProtocolClient will set their streams to
22 binary mode by calling into msvcrt; this avoids having their input or output
23 mangled by the default line ending translation on that platform.
24 (Robert Collins, Martin [gz], #579296)
32 * make check was failing if subunit wasn't installed due to a missing include
33 path for the test program test_child.
35 * make distcheck was failing due to a missing $(top_srcdir) rune.
40 * New filter `subunit-notify` that will show a notification window with test
41 statistics when the test run finishes.
43 * subunit.run will now pipe its output to the command in the
44 SUBUNIT_FORMATTER environment variable, if set.
52 * subunit2junitxml -f required a value, this is now fixed and -f acts as a
53 boolean switch with no parameter.
55 * Building with autoconf 2.65 is now supported.
63 * License change, by unanimous agreement of contributors to BSD/Apache
64 License Version 2.0. This makes Subunit compatible with more testing
69 * CPPUnit is now directly supported: subunit builds a cppunit listener
70 ``libcppunit-subunit``.
72 * In the python API ``addExpectedFailure`` and ``addUnexpectedSuccess``
73 from python 2.7/3.1 are now supported. ``addExpectedFailure`` is
74 serialised as ``xfail``, and ``addUnexpectedSuccess`` as ``success``.
75 The ``ProtocolTestCase`` parser now calls outcomes using an extended
76 API that permits attaching arbitrary MIME resources such as text files
77 log entries and so on. This extended API is being developed with the
78 Python testing community, and is in flux. ``TestResult`` objects that
79 do not support the API will be detected and transparently downgraded
80 back to the regular Python unittest API.
82 * INSTALLDIRS can be set to control the perl MakeMaker 'INSTALLDIRS'
83 viarable when installing.
85 * Multipart test outcomes are tentatively supported; the exact protocol
86 for them, both serialiser and object is not yet finalised. Testers and
87 early adopters are sought. As part of this and also in an attempt to
88 provider a more precise focus on the wire protocol and toolchain,
89 Subunit now depends on testtools (http://launchpad.net/testtools)
90 release 0.9.0 or newer.
92 * subunit2junitxml supports a new option, --forward which causes it
93 to forward the raw subunit stream in a similar manner to tee. This
94 is used with the -o option to both write a xml report and get some
95 other subunit filter to process the stream.
97 * The C library now has ``subunit_test_skip``.
101 * Install progress_model.py correctly.
103 * Non-gcc builds will no longer try to use gcc specific flags.
104 (Thanks trondn-norbye)
117 * A number of filters now support ``--no-passthrough`` to cause all
118 non-subunit content to be discarded. This is useful when precise control
119 over what is output is required - such as with subunit2junitxml.
121 * A small perl parser is now included, and a new ``subunit-diff`` tool
122 using that is included. (Jelmer Vernooij)
124 * Subunit streams can now include optional, incremental lookahead
125 information about progress. This allows reporters to make estimates
126 about completion, when such information is available. See the README
127 under ``progress`` for more details.
129 * ``subunit-filter`` now supports regex filtering via ``--with`` and
130 ``without`` options. (Martin Pool)
132 * ``subunit2gtk`` has been added, a filter that shows a GTK summary of a
135 * ``subunit2pyunit`` has a --progress flag which will cause the bzrlib
136 test reporter to be used, which has a textual progress bar. This requires
137 a recent bzrlib as a minor bugfix was required in bzrlib to support this.
139 * ``subunit2junitxml`` has been added. This filter converts a subunit
140 stream to a single JUnit style XML stream using the pyjunitxml
143 * The shell functions support skipping via ``subunit_skip_test`` now.
147 * ``xfail`` outcomes are now passed to python TestResult's via
148 addExpectedFailure if it is present on the TestResult. Python 2.6 and
149 earlier which do not have this function will have ``xfail`` outcomes
150 passed through as success outcomes as earlier versions of subunit did.
154 * tags are no longer passed around in python via the ``TestCase.tags``
155 attribute. Instead ``TestResult.tags(new_tags, gone_tags)`` is called,
156 and like in the protocol, if called while a test is active only applies
157 to that test. (Robert Collins)
159 * ``TestResultFilter`` takes a new optional constructor parameter
160 ``filter_predicate``. (Martin Pool)
162 * When a progress: directive is encountered in a subunit stream, the
163 python bindings now call the ``progress(offset, whence)`` method on
166 * When a time: directive is encountered in a subunit stream, the python
167 bindings now call the ``time(seconds)`` method on ``TestResult``.
171 * (python) Added ``subunit.test_results.AutoTimingTestResultDecorator``. Most
172 users of subunit will want to wrap their ``TestProtocolClient`` objects
173 in this decorator to get test timing data for performance analysis.
175 * (python) ExecTestCase supports passing arguments to test scripts.
177 * (python) New helper ``subunit.test_results.HookedTestResultDecorator``
178 which can be used to call some code on every event, without having to
179 implement all the event methods.
181 * (python) ``TestProtocolClient.time(a_datetime)`` has been added which
182 causes a timestamp to be output to the stream.
