Useful helpers for writing tests for your Python CLI program.
Project description
Useful helpers for writing tests for your Python CLI program.
Writing tests for a command line interface (CLI) application is more difficult than it seems at first sight. Especially, when you use the argparse module or the docopt or click package, control of the application entry point is a bit taken away from you.
But it’s not all that bad. This package is here to help. The Painless Software CLI Copier template offers some guidance on how to get started, and the CLI test helpers allow you to deal with common cases, such as mocking CLI arguments and environment variable values.
Documentation
