pack-test 0.1.0

Description:

packtest 0.1.0

PackTest
This module is designed to provide a strictly in-code implementation of MetaPathFinder that can be leveraged in unit
testing in order to simulate an entry point being created, as would be loaded by importlib.metadata.entry_points()
in Python 3.8+ or by importlib_metadata.entry_points() in earlier versions.
If there are requests, additional functionality aimed at testing plugin packages may be added in future releases.
Usage
import unittest
import packtest

class Test(unittest.TestCase):

def test_me(self):
# Could move some of this to be a test fixture instead

# Finder on sys.meta_path
finder = packtest.TestFinder()

# Add it to sys.meta_path
finder.register()

# Create a package
package = packtest.TestPackage("foobar")

# Create entry points
package.add_entry_point(
# Equivalent to a module with the following in setup.cfg:
# [options.entry_points]
# myep.group =
# foobar = myep.tests:test.attr
packtest.TestEntryPoint("foobar", "myep.group", "myep.tests", "test.attr")
)

package.add_entry_point(
# Equivalent to a module with the following in setup.cfg:
# [options.entry_points]
# myep.group =
# foobar2 = myep.tests:test.attr[bar]
packtest.TestEntryPoint("foobar2", "myep.group", "myep.tests", "test.attr", ["bar"])
)
finder.add_package(package)

# ... do testsConsultationClassesIslandOfferings2

# Call this to remove your foobar test package
finder.remove_package(package)

# Remove all packages
finder.clear()

# It is necessary to clean up sys.meta_path after your test case with this:
finder.unregister()
