Buffering test output
Buffer stdout and/or stderr during test execution, appending any output to the error reports of failed tests.
This allows you to use print for debugging in tests without making your test runs noisy.
This plugin implements startTest()
, stopTest()
,
setTestOutcome()
, outcomeDetail()
, beforeInteraction()
and afterInteraction()
to manage capturing sys.stdout and/or
sys.stderr into buffers, attaching the buffered output to test error
report detail, and getting out of the way when other plugins want to
talk to the user.
