DESCRIPTION¶
hypothesis helps you write and maintain property-based tests in your Python project.
hypothesis codemod refactors deprecated or inefficient code, rewriting files in place. It has no additional options.
hypothesis write writes property-based tests for you. Type annotations are helpful but not required. The following options are recognized:
- --roundtrip
- write roundtrip tests for write/read or encode/decode functions.
- Example: hypothesis write --roundtrip json.dumps json.loads
- --equivalent
- write tests whether two functions behave identically.
- Example: hypothesis write --equivalent ast.literal_eval eval
- --errors-equivalent
- like --equivalent, but also allows consistent errors.
- --idempotent
- write tests whether a function is idempotent.
- --binary-op
- write tests for associativity, commutativity and identitiy element.
- Example: hypothesis write --binary-op operator.add
- --except CLASS
- dotted name of exception to ignore. can be specified multiple times.
- --annotate, --no-annotate
- force tests to be type-annotated (or not).
- --style=STYLE
- write tests as pytest functions or unittest methods.
