Python. SetupClass? Complex automation

Support
1

Hi,

I’m trying to run through a complete application and do task, after task, after task within the same session.

I notice that setUp and tearDown run on each function. How can I have only 1 inital Setup and then a final tearDown at the end?

Here is my code:

Thanks

This isn’t Appium related. You should ask a question on StackOverflow in the unittest, python tags.

Well.

I usually use the nose module (link) which is a lot more flexible when doing things like setup and teardown, so I didn’t know off the top of my head.

Regardless, here’s a working example of a setup function being called once per test case class

import unittest

class Test(unittest.TestCase):
    @classmethod
    def setUpClass(cls):
        print "Setup the class!"

    @classmethod
    def tearDownClass(cls):
        print "Tear down the class!"
    
    def test_login(self):
        print "I just tested login. It looked great"

    def test_credentials(self):
        print "I just tested credentials."


#---START OF SCRIPT
if __name__ == '__main__':
    suite = unittest.TestLoader().loadTestsFromTestCase(Test)
    unittest.TextTestRunner(verbosity=1).run(suite)

Thanks for the assist. I do appreciate it!

I actually found similar code here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24310245/appium-ui-navigation-issue-python-script

Although it didnt work as I expected. I obviously got something wrong somewhere.

Honestly, I find the whole automation on this a kludge. Eclipse, nodejs, appium, android emulator, windows, java, so many disparate tech trying to work together and on a virtual machine to boot :confused:

Thanks

U can use @classmethod on top of setup and teardown.
