Nosepipe

Nosepipe is a plugin for the nose testing framework for running tests in a subprocess.

Nosepipe was originally written by John J. Lee jjl@pobox.com and updated by Dan McCombs dmccombs@dyn.com to support newer Python versions.

It's available under the BSD license.

You can also install nosepipe via pip or find it on PyPI at:

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/nosepipe

Installing

You can install the latest git version by cloning the repository and running:

python ./setup.py install

Otherwise, you can install the latest released version from pip via:

pip install nosepipe

Usage

To use Nosepipe, add --with-process-isolation to your nosetests command and decorate tests to be run separately:

import nosepipe

def test_something():
    # In subprocess
    pass

If --with-process-isolation-individual option is used in addition, then every test (either a top-level function or a class) need to be decorated to be run in a separate process.

import nosepipe

def test_something():
    # In main process
    pass

class TestClass(unittest.TestCase):
    # In main process
    def test_something():
        pass

@nosepipe.isolate
def test_another():
    # In subprocess
    pass

@nosepipe.isolate
class AnotherTestClass(unittest.TestCase):
    # In subprocess
    def test_another():
        pass
