The new implementation provides more clarity about what's going on and also ignores more immutable data types. 7.0.1 (1 Nov 2022) ------------------ - Remove non-functional support for self-referential data structures in :func:`compare`. The functionality didn't work but did cause erroneous reported equality of values in dictionaries that were actually not equal. 7.0.0 (6 Jul 2022) ------------------ - Refresh documentation. - Add type annotations. - Drop support for Python 2. The minimum supported Python version is now 3.6. - Sybil 3 is now the minimum supported version if you use :class:`~.sybil.FileParser`. - Rename and refactor the date and time mocks, they are now :any:`mock_date`, :any:`mock_datetime` and :any:`mock_time`. :any:`test_date`, :any:`test_datetime ` and :any:`test_time ` are still present as aliases but are now deprecated. - Add :meth:`TempDirectory.as_string`, :meth:`TempDirectory.as_path` and ``TempDirectory.as_local``. :meth:`TempDirectory.getpath` is now deprecated. - :class:`TempDirectory` can now be used to wrap existing directories. - Fixed a bug where :any:`OutputCapture.captured` returned bytes instead of a string with ``fd=True``. - The deprecated ``strict`` option to :class:`Comparison` has been removed, use the ``partial`` option instead. - The deprecated ``TempDirectory.check``, ``TempDirectory.check_dir`` and ``TempDirectory.check_all`` methods have been removed. 6.18.5 (1 Mar 2022) ------------------- - Fix bug in detection of Mock backport. 6.18.4 (25 Feb 2022) -------------------- - Ensure compatibility with Sybil 2 and Sybil 3 along with pytest 6 and pytest 7. 6.18.3 (29 Sep 2021) -------------------- - Fix bug when using :func:`compare` on two regular expressions that have very long patterns. Thanks to Christoph Ludwig for the report. 6.18.2 (21 Sep 2021) -------------------- - Fix bug that meant :class:`LogCapture` didn't preserve or provide a clean testing environment for filters. Thanks to Jesse Rittner for the fix. 6.18.1 (20 Aug 2021) -------------------- - Fix bug when showing differences between mappings found by :func:`compare` when mismatching values contained the same number more than once. 6.18.0 (15 Jul 2021) -------------------- - Add support for lazy resolution of ``prefix`` and ``suffix`` when using :func:`compare`. 6.17.1 (14 Jan 2020) -------------------- - Fix bug where bug where duplicated entries in an ordered but partial :class:`SequenceComparison` could result in a failed match. 6.17.0 (16 Dec 2020) -------------------- - Add simpler flag support to :class:`StringComparison`. - Fix deprecation warning about invalid escape sequence.

Thanks to Zoltan Farkas for the implementation. 6.14.2 (4 Sep 2020) ------------------- - Fix bug where ``ignore_eq`` had no effect on nested objects when using :func:`compare`. Thanks to Grégoire Payen de La Garanderie for the fix. 6.14.1 (20 Apr 2020) -------------------- - Fix bugs in comparison of :func:`~unittest.mock.call` objects where the :func:`repr` of the :func:`~unittest.mock.call` arguments were the same even when their attributes were not. 6.14.0 (24 Feb 2020) -------------------- - Add support for non-deterministic logging order when using :meth:`twisted.LogCapture`. 6.13.1 (20 Feb 2020) -------------------- - Fix for using :func:`compare` to compare two-element :func:`~unittest.mock.call` objects. Thanks to Daniel Fortunov for the fix. 6.13.0 (18 Feb 2020) -------------------- - Allow any attributes that need to be ignored to be specified directly when calling :func:`~testfixtures.comparison.compare_object`. This is handy when writing comparers for :func:`compare`. 6.12.1 (16 Feb 2020) -------------------- - Fix a bug that occured when using :func:`compare` to compare a string with a slotted object that had the same :func:`repr` as the string. 6.12.0 (6 Feb 2020) ------------------- - Add support for ``universal_newlines``, ``text``, ``encoding`` and ``errors`` to :class:`popen.MockPopen`, but only for Python 3. 6.11.0 (29 Jan 2020) -------------------- - :class:`decimal.Decimal` now has better representation when :func:`compare` displays a failed comparison, particularly on Python 2. - Add support to :func:`compare` for explicitly naming objects to be compared as ``x`` and ``y``. This allows symmetry with the ``x_label`` and ``y_label`` parameters that are now documented. - Restore ability for :class:`Comparison` to compare properties and methods, although these uses are not recommended. Thanks to Daniel Fortunov for all of the above. 6.10.3 (22 Nov 2019) -------------------- - Fix bug where new-style classes had their attributes checked with :func:`compare` even when they were of different types. 6.10.2 (15 Nov 2019) -------------------- - Fix bugs in :func:`compare` when comparing objects which have both ``__slots__`` and a ``__dict__``. 6.10.1 (1 Nov 2019) ------------------- - Fix edge case where string interning made dictionary comparison output much less useful. 6.10.0 (19 Jun 2019) -------------------- - Better feedback where objects do not :func:`compare` equal but do have the same representation. 6.9.0 (10 Jun 2019) ------------------- - Fix deprecation warning relating to ``getargspec``. - Improve :doc:`mocking ` docs. - Added ``strip_whitespace`` option to :class:`OutputCapture`. - When ``separate`` is used with :class:`OutputCapture`, differences in ``stdout`` and ``stderr`` are now given in the same :class:`AssertionError`. - :class:`ShouldRaise` no longer catches exceptions that are not of the required type. - Fixed a problem that resulted in unhelpful :func:`compare` failures when :func:`~unittest.mock.call` was involved and Python 3.6.7 was used. Thanks to Łukasz Rogalski for the deprecation warning fix. Thanks to Wim Glenn for the :class:`ShouldRaise` idea. 6.8.2 (4 May 2019) ------------------ - Fix handling of the latest releases of the ``mock`` backport. 6.8.1 (2 May 2019) ------------------ - Fix bogus import in :class:`OutputCapture`. 6.8.0 (2 May 2019) ------------------ - Allow :class:`OutputCapture` to capture the underlying file descriptors for :any:`sys.stdout` and :any:`sys.stderr`. 6.7.1 (29 Apr 2019) ------------------- - Silence :class:`DeprecationWarning` relating to ``collections.abc`` on Python 3.7.

Thanks to Tim Davies for his work on :class:`~testfixtures.popen.MockPopen`. 6.2.0 (14 Jun 2018) ------------------- - Better rendering of differences between :class:`bytes` when using :func:`compare` on Python 3. 6.1.0 (6 Jun 2018) ------------------ - Support filtering for specific warnings with :class:`ShouldWarn`. 6.0.2 (2 May 2018) ------------------ - Fix nasty bug where objects that had neither ``__dict__`` nor ``__slots__`` would always be considered equal by :func:`compare`. 6.0.1 (17 April 2018) --------------------- - Fix a bug when comparing equal :class:`set` instances using :func:`compare` when ``strict==True``. 6.0.0 (27 March 2018) --------------------- - :func:`compare` will now handle objects that do not natively support equality or inequality and will treat these objects as equal if they are of the same type and have the same attributes as found using :func:`vars` or ``__slots__``. This is a change in behaviour which, while it could conceivably cause tests that are currently failing to pass, should not cause any currently passing tests to start failing. - Add support for writing to the ``stdin`` of :class:`~testfixtures.popen.MockPopen` instances. - The default behaviour of :class:`~testfixtures.popen.MockPopen` can now be controlled by providing a callable. - :meth:`LogCapture.actual` is now part of the documented public interface. - Add :meth:`LogCapture.check_present` to help with assertions about a sub-set of messages logged along with those that are logged in a non-deterministic order. - :class:`Comparison` now supports objects with ``__slots__``. - Added :class:`ShouldAssert` as a simpler tool for testing test helpers. - Changed the internals of the various decorators testfixtures provides such that they can be used in conjunction with :func:`unittest.mock.patch` on the same test method or function. - Changed the internals of :class:`ShouldRaise` and :class:`Comparison` to make use of :func:`compare` and so provide nested comparisons with better feedback. This finally allows :class:`ShouldRaise` to deal with Django's :class:`~django.core.exceptions.ValidationError`. - Added handling of self-referential structures to :func:`compare` by treating all but the first occurence as equal. Another change needed to support Django's insane :class:`~django.core.exceptions.ValidationError`. Thanks to Hamish Downer and Tim Davies for their work on :class:`~testfixtures.popen.MockPopen`. Thanks to Wim Glenn and Daniel Fortunov for their help reviewing some of the more major changes. 5.4.0 (25 January 2018) ----------------------- - Add explicit support for :class:`~unittest.mock.Mock` to :func:`compare`. 5.3.1 (21 November 2017) ------------------------ - Fix missing support for the `start_new_session` parameter to :class:`~testfixtures.popen.MockPopen`. 5.3.0 (28 October 2017) ----------------------- - Add pytest traceback hiding for :meth:`TempDirectory.compare`. - Add warnings that :func:`log_capture`, :func:`tempdir` and :func:`replace` are not currently compatible with pytest's fixtures mechanism. - Better support for ``stdout`` or ``stderr`` *not* being set to ``PIPE`` when using :class:`~testfixtures.popen.MockPopen`. - Add support to :class:`~testfixtures.popen.MockPopen` for using :class:`subprocess.Popen` as a context manager in Python 3. - Add support to :class:`~testfixtures.popen.MockPopen` for ``stderr=STDOUT``. Thanks to Tim Davies for his work on :class:`~testfixtures.popen.MockPopen`. 5.2.0 (3 September 2017) ------------------------ - :any:`test_datetime ` and :class:`test_time ` now accept a :class:`~datetime.datetime` instance during instantiation to set the initial value. - :class:`test_date ` now accepts a :class:`~datetime.date` instance during instantiation to set the initial value. - Relax the restriction on adding, setting or instantiating :any:`test_datetime ` with `tzinfo` such that if the `tzinfo` matches the one configured, then it's okay to add. This means that you can now instantiate a :any:`test_datetime ` with an existing :class:`~datetime.datetime` instance that has `tzinfo` set. - :func:`testfixtures.django.compare_model` now ignores :class:`many to many ` fields rather than blowing up on them. - Drop official support for Python 3.4, although things should continue to work. 5.1.1 (8 June 2017) ------------------- - Fix support for Django 1.9 in :func:`testfixtures.django.compare_model`. 5.1.0 (8 June 2017) ------------------- - Added support for including non-edit able fields to the :func:`comparer ` used by :func:`compare` when comparing :doc:`django ` :class:`~django.db.models.Model` instances. 5.0.0 (5 June 2017) ------------------- - Move from `nose`__ to `pytest`__ for running tests. __ http://nose.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ __ https://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/ - Switch from `manuel`__ to `sybil`__ for checking examples in documentation.

Thanks to Matthias Lehmann for the import error reports. 3.0.2 (7 April 2014) -------------------- - Document :attr:`ShouldRaise.raised` and make it part of the official API. - Fix rare failures when cleaning up :class:`TempDirectory` instances on Windows. 3.0.1 (10 June 2013) -------------------- - Some documentation tweaks and clarifications. - Fixed a bug which masked exceptions when using :func:`compare` with a broken generator. - Fixed a bug when comparing a generator with a non-generator. - Ensure :class:`LogCapture` cleans up global state it may effect. - Fixed replacement of static methods using a :class:`Replacer`. 3.0.0 (5 March 2013) -------------------- - Added compatibility with Python 3.2 and 3.3. - Dropped compatibility with Python 2.5. - Removed support for the following obscure uses of :class:`should_raise`: .. invisible-code-block: python from testfixtures.mock import MagicMock should_raise = x = MagicMock() .. code-block:: python should_raise(x, IndexError)[1] should_raise(x, KeyError)['x'] - Dropped the `mode` parameter to :meth:`TempDirectory.read`. - :meth:`TempDirectory.makedir` and :meth:`TempDirectory.write` no longer accept a `path` parameter. - :meth:`TempDirectory.read` and :meth:`TempDirectory.write` now accept an `encoding` parameter to control how non-byte data is decoded and encoded respectively. - Added the `prefix` parameter to :func:`compare` to allow failure messages to be made more informative. - Fixed a problem when using sub-second deltas with :any:`test_time `. 2.3.5 (13 August 2012) ---------------------- - Fixed a bug in :func:`~testfixtures.comparison.compare_dict` that mean the list of keys that were the same was returned in an unsorted order. 2.3.4 (31 January 2012) ----------------------- - Fixed compatibility with Python 2.5 - Fixed compatibility with Python 2.7 - Development model moved to continuous integration using Jenkins. - Introduced `Tox`__ based testing to ensure packaging and dependencies are as expected. __ http://tox.testrun.org/latest/ - 100% line and branch coverage with tests. - Mark :any:`test_datetime ` , :class:`test_date ` and :class:`test_time ` such that nose doesn't mistake them as tests. 2.3.3 (12 December 2011) ------------------------- - Fixed a bug where when a target was replaced more than once using a single :class:`Replacer`, :meth:`~Replacer.restore` would not correctly restore the original. 2.3.2 (10 November 2011) ------------------------- - Fixed a bug where attributes and keys could not be removed by a :class:`Replacer` as described in :ref:`removing_attr_and_item` if the attribute or key might not be there, such as where a test wants to ensure an ``os.environ`` variable is not set. 2.3.1 (8 November 2011) ------------------------- - Move to use `nose `__ for running the testfixtures unit tests. - Fixed a bug where :meth:`~testfixtures.datetime.MockDateTime.now` returned an instance of the wrong type when `tzinfo` was passed in :ref:`strict mode `. 2.3.0 (11 October 2011) ------------------------- - :class:`Replacer`, :class:`TempDirectory`, :class:`LogCapture` and ``TestComponents`` instances will now warn if the process they are created in exits without them being cleaned up. Instances of these classes should be cleaned up at the end of each test and these warnings serve to point to a cause for possible mysterious failures elsewhere. 2.2.0 (4 October 2011) ------------------------- - Add a :ref:`strict mode ` to :any:`test_datetime ` and :class:`test_date `. When used, instances returned from the mocks are instances of those mocks. The default behaviour is now to return instances of the real :class:`~datetime.datetime` and :class:`~datetime.date` classes instead, which is usually much more useful. 2.1.0 (29 September 2011) ------------------------- - Add a :ref:`strict mode ` to :func:`compare`. When used, it ensures that the values compared are not only equal but also of the same type. This mode is not used by default, and the default mode restores the more commonly useful functionality where values of similar types but that aren't equal give useful feedback about differences. 2.0.1 (23 September 2011) ------------------------- - add back functionality to allow comparison of generators with non-generators. 2.0.0 (23 September 2011) ------------------------- - :func:`compare` now uses a registry of comparers that can be modified either by passing a `registry` option to :func:`compare` or, globally, using the :func:`~comparison.register` function. - added a comparer for :class:`set` instances to :func:`compare`. - added a new `show_whitespace` parameter to :func:`~comparison.compare_text`, the comparer used when comparing strings and unicodes with :func:`compare`. - The internal queue for :any:`test_datetime ` is now considered to be in local time. This has implication on the values returned from both :meth:`~testfixtures.datetime.MockDateTime.now` and :meth:`~testfixtures.datetime.MockDateTime.utcnow` when `tzinfo` is passed to the :any:`test_datetime ` constructor. - :meth:`~testfixtures.datetime.MockDate.set` and :meth:`~testfixtures.datetime.MockDate.add` on :class:`test_date `, :any:`test_datetime ` and :class:`test_time ` now accept instances of the appropriate type as an alternative to just passing in the parameters to create the instance. - Refactored the monolithic ``__init__.py`` into modules for each type of functionality. 1.12.0 (16 August 2011) ----------------------- - Add a :attr:`~OutputCapture.captured` property to :class:`OutputCapture` so that more complex assertion can be made about the output that has been captured. - :class:`OutputCapture` context managers can now be temporarily disabled using their :meth:`~OutputCapture.disable` method. - Logging can now be captured only when it exceeds a specified logging level. - The handling of timezones has been reworked in both :any:`test_datetime ` and :any:`test_time `. This is not backwards compatible but is much more useful and correct. 1.11.3 (3 August 2011) ---------------------- - Fix bugs where various :class:`test_date `, :class:`test_datetime ` and :class:`test_time ` methods didn't accept keyword parameters. 1.11.2 (28 July 2011) --------------------- - Fix for 1.10 and 1.11 releases that didn't include non-.py files as a result of the move from subversion to git. 1.11.1 (28 July 2011) --------------------- - Fix bug where :meth:`testfixtures.datetime.MockDateTime.now` didn't accept the `tz` parameter that :meth:`datetime.datetime.now` did. 1.11.0 (27 July 2011) --------------------- - Give more useful output when comparing dicts and their subclasses. - Turn :class:`should_raise` into a decorator form of :class:`ShouldRaise` rather than the rather out-moded wrapper function that it was. 1.10.0 (19 July 2011) --------------------- - Remove dependency on ``zope.dottedname``. - Implement the ability to mock out :class:`dict` and :class:`list` items using :class:`~testfixtures.Replacer` and :func:`~testfixtures.replace`. - Implement the ability to remove attributes and :class:`dict` items using :class:`~testfixtures.Replacer` and :func:`~testfixtures.replace`. 1.9.2 (20 April 2011) --------------------- - Fix for issue #328: :meth:`~testfixtures.datetime.MockDateTime.utcnow` of :any:`test_datetime ` now returns items from the internal queue in the same way as :meth:`~testfixtures.datetime.MockDateTime.now`. 1.9.1 (11 March 2011) ------------------------ - Fix bug when :class:`ShouldRaise` context managers incorrectly reported what exception was incorrectly raised when the incorrectly raised exception was a :class:`KeyError`. 1.9.0 (11 February 2011) ------------------------ - Added ``TestComponents`` for getting a sterile registry when testing code that uses ``zope.component``. 1.8.0 (14 January 2011) ----------------------- - Added full Sphinx-based documentation. - added a `Manuel `__ plugin for reading and writing files into a :class:`TempDirectory`. - any existing log handlers present when a :class:`LogCapture` is installed for a particular logger are now removed. - fix the semantics of :class:`should_raise`, which should always expect an exception to be raised! - added the :class:`ShouldRaise` context manager. - added recursive support to :meth:`TempDirectory.listdir` and added the new ``TempDirectory.check_all`` method. - added support for forward-slash separated paths to all relevant :class:`TempDirectory` methods. - added :meth:`TempDirectory.getpath` method. - allow files and directories to be ignored by a regular expression specification when using :class:`TempDirectory`. - made :class:`Comparison` objects work when the attributes expected might be class attributes. - re-implement :any:`test_time ` so that it uses the correct way to get timezone-less time. - added :meth:`~testfixtures.datetime.MockDateTime.set` along with `delta` and `delta_type` parameters to :any:`test_date `, :any:`test_datetime ` and :any:`test_time `. - allow the date class returned by the :meth:`~testfixtures.datetime.MockDate.today` method to be configured. - added the :class:`OutputCapture` context manager. - added the :class:`StringComparison` class. - added options to ignore trailing whitespace and blank lines when comparing multi-line strings with :func:`compare`. - fixed bugs in the handling of some exception types when using :class:`Comparison`, :class:`ShouldRaise` or :class:`should_raise`. - changed :func:`wrap` to correctly set __name__, along with some other attributes, which should help when using the decorators with certain testing frameworks. 1.7.0 (20 January 2010) ----------------------- - fixed a bug where the @replace decorator passed a classmethod rather than the replacment to the decorated callable when replacing a classmethod - added set method to test_date, test_datetime and test_time to allow setting the parameters for the next instance to be returned. - added delta and delta_type parameters to test_date,test_datetime and test_time to control the intervals between returned instances. 1.6.2 (23 September 2009) ------------------------- - changed Comparison to use __eq__ and __ne__ instead of the deprecated __cmp__ - documented that order matters when using Comparisons with objects that implement __eq__ themselves, such as instances of Django models. 1.6.1 (06 September 2009) ------------------------- - @replace and Replacer.replace can now replace attributes that may not be present, provided the `strict` parameter is passed as False. - should_raise now catches BaseException rather than Exception so raising of SystemExit and KeyboardInterrupt can be tested. 1.6.0 (09 May 2009) ------------------- - added support for using TempDirectory, Replacer and LogCapture as context managers. - fixed test failure in Python 2.6. 1.5.4 (11 Feb 2009) ------------------- - fix bug where should_raise didn't complain when no exception was raised but one was expected. - clarified that the return of a should_raise call will be None in the event that an exception is raised but no expected exception is specified. 1.5.3 (17 Dec 2008) ------------------- - should_raise now supports methods other than __call__ 1.5.2 (14 Dec 2008) ------------------- - added `makedir` and `check_dir` methods to TempDirectory and added support for sub directories to `read` and `write` 1.5.1 (12 Dec 2008) ------------------- - added `path` parameter to `write` method of TempDirectory so that the full path of the file written can be easilly obtained 1.5.0 (12 Dec 2008) ------------------- - added handy `read` and `write` methods to TempDirectory for creating and reading files in the temporary directory - added support for rich comparison of objects that don't support vars() 1.4.0 (12 Dec 2008) ------------------- - improved representation of failed Comparison - improved representation of failed compare with sequences 1.3.1 (10 Dec 2008) ------------------- - fixed bug that occurs when directory was deleted by a test that use tempdir or TempDirectory 1.3.0 (9 Dec 2008) ------------------ - added TempDirectory helper - added tempdir decorator 1.2.0 (3 Dec 2008) ------------------ - LogCaptures now auto-install on creation unless configured otherwise - LogCaptures now have a clear method - LogCaptures now have a class method uninstall_all that uninstalls all instances of LogCapture. Handy for a tearDown method in doctests. 1.1.0 (3 Dec 2008) ------------------ - add support to Comparisons for only comparing some attributes - move to use zope.dottedname 1.0.0 (26 Nov 2008) ------------------- - Initial Release
