Python TDD with Mamba

A simple Python TDD example using:

• chef (for provisioning)
• vagrant (for development environment)
• expects (for assertions)
• doublex (for mocking and method-call assertions)
• doublex-expects (for more expectation + assertion goodness)
• mamba (for BDD testing)

Usage

# Clone the repo:
git clone git@github.com:jdrago999/python-tdd-with-mamba.git
cd python-tdd-with-mamba/

# Create the Vagrant VM:
vagrant up

# Enter the VM:
vagrant ssh

# Run tests:
cd /var/www/python-tdd-with-mamba
mamba

Coverage Reports

Continuous Integration

Mamba already comes with coverage, so just:

mamba --enable-coverage
coverage report -m | tail -n 1 | awk '{print $6}'

If that prints 100% then you're finished. Otherwise, keep adding tests.

HTML Reports

coverage html will produce a nice report for you like the one below:
