Hi all,

I recently started learning Python & Twisted in

Thanks a bunch Jean-Paul!!! That was exactly my problem. I replaced the reactor.run() line with "return d" and everything works perfectly. So I guess the lesson here is that if a unit test creates a defer it needs to return that defer for everything to be hooked up properly and execute. ----- Original Message ---- From: Jean-Paul Calderone <exarkun@divmod.com> To: Twisted general discussion <twisted-python@twistedmatrix.com> Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2008 2:01:34 PM Subject: Re: [Twisted-Python] Help with Simple Trial unit test On Wed, 30 Jan 2008 13:45:08 -0800 (PST), Shawn Smiley <ssmiley483@yahoo.com> wrote: prep for a big project at work. So far things are going well, except that I can't quite figure out what I'm doing wrong in this simple unit test I'm writing.

One

of the features of the project I'll be working on is the implementation of a simple HTTP GET Based communication layer between legacy systems. As such, I wanted to write a simple unit test that uses the twisted client.getPage() method to test the communication process (i.e. simulates a legacy system requesting data from the server).

I

have a test that sort of works. However, I find that I have to add a reactor.run() command in the unit test for the test to actually be executed. The unfortunate side affect of this is that you then have to ctrl+C to stop the reactor after the test runs. If I don't put in the reactor.run() command, I get a "REACTOR UNCLEAN" error message and the test doesn't appear to run (at least the callbacks from getPage() never happen). What happens if you take the Deferred created in the test method and return it, instead of calling reactor.run()?
