django-rainbowtests 0.4.1

A colorful Django Test Runner.

This is a custom test runner for Django that gives you really colorful test output.

How do I use this?

Install the latest release with:

pip install django-rainbowtests

Then, add one of the following settings. For the DiscoverRunner behavior that was introduced with Django 1.6, use the following:

TEST_RUNNER = 'rainbowtests.test.runner.RainbowDiscoverRunner'

If you want the old-style behavior (Django 1.5 or older), use:

TEST_RUNNER = 'rainbowtests.test.simple.RainbowTestSuiteRunner'

Then run your tests!

Python/Django Compatibility

This code should work with Django 1.4 - 1.8, Python 2.7 and Python 3.4. If you find otherwise, please open an Issue.

Coverage

As of version 0.3.0, there is (experimental) support for coverage, and 0.4.0 cleaned it up by introducing a new test runner:

Use

TEST_RUNNER = ‘rainbowtests.test.runner.RainbowDiscoverCoverageRunner’

and run your tests as normal (python manage.py test <whatever>), and if you have coverage installed, you should see a report when your tests complete. You could also use coverage html and open htmlcov/index.html for a more fancy coverage report. Make sure you have a .coveragerc file, though!
