Here is a short script to test three functions from the random module:
import random
import unittest
class TestSequenceFunctions(unittest.TestCase):
def setUp(self):
self.seq = range(10)
def test_shuffle(self):
# make sure the shuffled sequence does not lose any elements
random.shuffle(self.seq)
self.seq.sort()
self.assertEqual(self.seq, range(10))
# should raise an exception for an immutable sequence
self.assertRaises(TypeError, random.shuffle, (1,2,3))
def test_choice(self):
element = random.choice(self.seq)
self.assertTrue(element in self.seq)
def test_sample(self):
with self.assertRaises(ValueError):
random.sample(self.seq, 20)
for element in random.sample(self.seq, 5):
self.assertTrue(element in self.seq)
if __name__ == '__main__':
unittest.main()
--8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<--
but test_sample() it's a strange method: what's that "with
self.assertRaises(ValueErrorr)"?
infact, running the script I have
$ python test_unittest.py
.E.
