We have a number of TestCase classes that have multiple test methods.
We are interested in removing any of the individual test methods on the
fly (dynamically, at runtime, whatever).
We currently have an "isSupporte d" method in the TestCase classes that
return a bool by which the greater test harness decides whether to run
the enclosed test methods or not. We would like to have
per-test-method granularity, however, for essentially skipping that
particular test method; basically another isSupported call within the
individual methods. We took a quick look at such options as:
generating the entire test suite, then iterating through and renaming
SomeTestClass.t estSomeTest to SomeTestClass.S KIPsomeTest, and seeing if
PyUnit would skip it (since the method name no longer starts with
"test"). But this seemed pretty unwieldy. We have also considered
breaking up the test class to a number of smaller test classes and
calling isSupported with that finer-granularity set of test classes.
That is probably the easiest way, but we do still want to consider
alternatives.
Here's to hoping that other folks out there have had experience with
removing test methods on the fly, and have some wisdom to share.

Here's a simple approach imitating NUnit's CategoryAttribu te. I don't
know whether it'll work for you, it depends on what exactly
isSupported() does.
- kv
import unittest
def category(*test_ categories):
tc = frozenset(test_ categories)
def f(g):
if tc & frozenset(activ e_categories):
return g
# else return None,
# effectively removing test from TestCase
return f
active_categori es = ['mac', 'nt']
class T(unittest.Test Case):
@category('mac' )
def test_a(self):
print 'mac only'
@category('posi x')
def test_b(self):
print 'posix only'
@category('posi x', 'nt')
def test_c(self):
print 'posix or nt'
def test_d(self):
print 'platform-independent'
if __name__ == '__main__':
unittest.main()

ISTM you could write a custom TestLoader that filters the test names, then pass that loader to unittest.main() . For example, assuming a classmethod or staticmethod on the test case that filters test case names, something like this (not tested):
def MyTest(TestCase ):
@staticmethod
def isSupportedTest (testName):
return True
def testSomething.. .
class FilteringTestLo ader(TestLoader ):
def getTestCaseName s(self, testCaseClass):
names = TestLoader.getT estCaseNames(se lf, testCaseClass)
names = filter(testCase Class.isSupport edTest, names)
return names
unittest.main(t estLoader=Filte ringTestLoader( ))
You could do something similar with a FilteringTestSu ite if that fits your harness better.
