POIs there something like 'autotest' for Python unittests?

    <p>Basically, growl notifications (or other callbacks) when tests break or pass. <strong>Does anything like this exist?</strong></p> <p>If not, it should be pretty easy to write.. Easiest way would be to..</p> <ol> <li>run <code>python-autotest myfile1.py myfile2.py etc.py</code> <ul> <li>Check if files-to-be-monitored have been modified (possibly just if they've been saved).</li> <li>Run any tests in those files.</li> <li>If a test fails, but in the previous run it passed, generate a growl alert. Same with tests that fail then pass.</li> <li>Wait, and repeat steps 2-5.</li> </ul></li> </ol> <p>The problem I can see there is if the tests are in a different file. The simple solution would be to run all the tests after each save.. but with slower tests, this might take longer than the time between saves, and/or could use a lot of CPU power etc..</p> <p>The best way to do it would be to actually see what bits of code have changed, if function abc() has changed, only run tests that interact with this.. While this would be great, I think it'd be extremely complex to implement?</p> <p>To summarise:</p> <ul> <li>Is there anything like the Ruby tool <code>autotest</code> (part of the <a href="http://www.zenspider.com/ZSS/Products/ZenTest/" rel="noreferrer">ZenTest package</a>), but for Python code?</li> <li>How do you check which functions have changed between two revisions of a script?</li> <li>Is it possible to determine which functions a command will call? (Somewhat like a reverse traceback)</li> </ul>

    1. COI don't think it is possible to properly test if you _only_ run tests which directly reference the modified function. You will not test then for how the function interacts with the rest of the code. For example it might pass the test, but fail in practice because its behaviour changed in subtle ways

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
