Python unittest gui (output through GUI)

Question

Python's unittest framework is command line based. Instead of console output, I'd like to have GUI output. Specific task, that should be accomplishable:

• start all tests per button
• start single test per button
• start group of tests per button
• see output / result inside the GUI

( Kind of like Guitar for GTest in C++ )

Does anyone knows anything?

Searching results in the GUI itself as in "tkinter" for GUI applications.

Answer 1

Cricket does a good job:

• Install it:
  • pip install cricket
• Navigate to folder, where all your testscripts are.
• run cricket-unittest
• You might be requested to install idle-python3.6:
  • sudo apt-get install idle-python3.6 (for ubuntu)

Answer 2

vscode

those days, vscode also has unittest inside.

1. test pannel:

tests can be run (by click ▶ at right of item) by:

• all
• one folder
• one file
• one class
• one function

2. test result:

errors (and success) can be shown at code side.

3. outputs

all test outputs

which extension?

seems the testing (like a flask) icon in side bar appear after python extension installed,

if it not exist, ctrl+shift+p Python: configure Tests it will shown.

// make sure python,pip installed in os
// tested on vscode 1.62 (I didn't see it before)
