Test "__main__.check_cat" [Cat from 140288585437776] SUCCESS!
```
If you want to use a text file as a data source, you can use `DATA_FILE` helper function to skip the file handling boilerplate code:
```python
from checking import *
DATA_FILE('files/data.txt', name='provider')   # Use the file located at <module folder>/files/data.txt
@test(data_provider='provider')
def try_prov(it):
    print(it)
    is_true(it)
```
The helper lazy-loads specified data file line by line. 
Raises FileNotFoundError if the file is not found.
Also, you can transform all the lines before feeding them into the test, 
for example delete trailing newlines at the end of each line:
```python
from checking import *
DATA_FILE('files/data.txt', name='provider', map_function=str.rstrip)   # Feed each line through str.rstrip()
@test(data_provider='provider')
def try_prov(it):
    is_true(it)
```
If you don't specify provider_name for the DATA_FILE helper, file_path will be used:
```python
from checking import *
DATA_FILE('data.txt')   # Use text file located at the module folder. Note, that no provider_name is specified.
@test(data_provider='data.txt')   # Use the specified file_name parameter for provider lookup
def try_prov(it):
    is_true(it)
```
If your test suite uses a data provider more than once, you might want to avoid the IO overhead,
if this provider fetches the data from some external source (database, file system, http request etc.). 
You can use the `cached` parameter to force the provider to fetch the data only once and store it into memory.
Please, be varied of the memory consumption, because the cache persists until the whole suite is done running. 
Also, be careful when using the cache when running tests in parallel.
DATA_FILE helper can use this parameter too.
```python
from checking import *
DATA_FILE('data.csv', name='csv', cached=True)   # Enable caching 
@test(data_provider='csv')   # First provider use -- data is fetched from the file and stored into memory
def check_one(it):
    not_none(it)
@test(data_provider='csv')   # Second use -- no file reads, cached data is used
def check_two(it):
    not_none(it)
if __name__ == '__main__':
    start(0)
```
If your provider is a simple one-liner (string, list comprehension, generator expression, etc.), 
you can use the CONTAINER helper function to avoid full function definition boilerplate:  
```python
from checking import *
CONTAINER([e for e in range(10)], name='range')   # Provide data from a listcomps, set provider name to 'range'
@test(data_provider='range')
def try_container(it):
    is_true(it in range(10))
```
'name' parameter is optional, 'container' is used by default,
but it's strongly recommended using a unique name:
```python
from checking import *
CONTAINER((e for e in range(10)))   # Provide data from a genexps
@test(data_provider='container')
def try_container(it):
    is_true(it in range(10))
```
**Important!** You must define DATA_FILE or CONTAINER providers at the module scope, not in the fixtures and tests.
### Test Parameters ###
You can manage the test execution mode by passing a number of parameters to the @test decorator:
**enabled** (bool) - if set to False, the test will be skipped, all other parameters are ignored. By default, set to True.
**name** (str) - the name of the test. Is bound to the decorated function name if not specified.
**description** (str) - test description. If absent, the test function docstring is used. 
If both description and docstring are present, description takes precedence.
**data_provider** (str) - the name of the data provider to use with the test. 
If specified, the test function must take one argument to be fed with the data from the provider. 
Raises UnknownProviderName if no providers with the specified name found.
**retries** (int) - the number of times to run the failing test. If test does not fail, no more runs attempted. By default, set to 1.
**groups** (Tuple[str]) - a tuple of strings, representing the test group names a test is a part of.
All tests belong to some test group, the default group holds all tests from the current module and is named after the module.
Use this parameter to manage test execution groups.
**priority** (int) - test priority. The higher the value the later the test will be executed.
Use this parameter to fine tune test run order. By default, set to 0.
**timeout** (int) - amount of time to wait for the test to end. 
If the time runs out, the thread running the test is terminated and the test is marked as "broken".
Use sparingly due to potential memory leaks.
**only_if** (Callable[None, bool]) - boolean predicate, which is evaluated before the test execution.
The test will be executed only if the predicate evaluates to True.
Use this parameter for conditional test execution e.g. run only if the OS is Linux, etc.
## Fixtures
Each test group or all test-suite can have preconditions and post-actions. For example, open DB connection before test starts and close it after that.
You can easily make it with before/after fixtures. The function that marked with before/after should be without arguments.
@before  - run function before EACH test in group, by default group is current module, but you can specify it with parameter
@after  - run function after EACH test in group, by default group is current module, but you can specify it with parameter.
This function will not be run if there is @before and it failed!
```python
@before(group_name='api')
def my_func():
    do_some_precondition()
@after(group_name='api')
def another_func():
    do_post_actions()
```
@before_group - function run once before running test in group, by default group is current module, but you can specify it with parameter.
@after_group - function run once after running all test in group, by default group is current module, but you can specify it with parameter. 
This function will not be run if there is @before_group and it failed, except using parameter always_run = True
```python
@before_group(name='api')
def my_func():
    do_some_precondition_for_whole_group()
@after_group(name='api', always_run =True)
def another_func():
    do_post_actions_for_whole_group()
```
@before_suite - function runs once before any group at start of the test-suite
@after_suite - function run once after all groups, at the end of the test-suite.
This function will not be run if there is @before_suite, and it failed, except using parameter 'always_run = True'
```python
@before_suite
def my_func():
    print('start suite!')
@after_suite(always_run=True)
def another_func():
    print('will be printed, even if before_suite failed!')
```
## Mock, Double, Stub and Spy
For testing purposes you sometimes need to fake some behaviour or to isolate your application from any other classes/libraries etc.
If you need your test to use fake object, without doing any real calls, you can use mocks:
**1. Fake one of the builtin function.**
Let say you need to test function which is using standard input() inside. 
But you cannot wait for real user input during the test, so fake it with mock object.
```python
def our_weird_function_with_input_inside():
    text = input()
    return text.upper()
@test
def mock_builtins_input():
    with mock_builtins('input', lambda : 'test'): # Now input() just returns 'test', it does not wait for user input.
        result_text = our_weird_function_with_input_inside()
        equals('TEST', result_text)
```
More convenient way is to use mock_input or mock_print for simple and most common cases.
From code above we can test our_weird_function this way
```python
@test
def check_input():
    with mock_input(['test']): # Now input() just returns 'test', it does not wait for user input.
        result_text = our_weird_function_with_input_inside()
        equals('TEST', result_text)
```
Now let's say we have simple function with print inside and need to test it:
```python
def my_print(x):
    print(x)
@test
def check_print():
    with mock_print([]) as result: # now print just collects all to list result
        my_print(1)
        my_print('1')
    equals([(1,), ('1',)], result) # checks all args are in result list
```
and more complicated case, when our function works forever, printing all inputs, until gets 'exit':
```python
def use_both():
    while True:
        word = input('text>>>')
        if word == 'exit':
            break
        print(word)
@test
def check_print_and_input():
    # you can see inputs will get 'a','b' and 'exit' to break cycle, all args will
    # be collected to result list
    with mock_input(['a', 'b', 'exit']), mock_print([]) as result:
        use_both()
    equals([('a',), ('b',)], result)
```
**2. Fake function of the 3-d party library**
For working with other modules and libraries in test module, you need to import this module and to mock it function.
For example, you need to test function, which is using requests.get inside, but you do not want to make real http
request. Let it mock
some_module_to_test.py
```python
import requests
def func_with_get_inside(url):
    response = requests.get(url)
    return response.text
```
our_tests.py
```python
import requests # need to import it for mock!
from some_module_to_test import func_with_get_inside
@test
def mock_requests_get():
    stub = Stub(text='test') # create simple stub, with attribute text equals to 'test'
    with mock(requests, 'get', lambda x: stub):  # Mock real requests with stub object
        equals('test', func_with_get_inside('https://yandex.ru'))  # Now no real requests be performed!
```
**3. Mock read/write to file**
If you need to mock open function, push data to read from file and gets back with write to file, you can use
mock_open context-manager
```python
def my_open():
    # We read from one file, uppercase results and write to another file
    with open('my_file.txt', encoding='utf-8') as f, open('another.txt', 'wt') as f2:
        f2.write(f.readline().upper())
@test
def mock_open_both():
    # Here we specify what we must "read from file" ('test') and where we want to get all writes(result)
    with mock_open(on_read_text='test') as result:
        my_open()
    equals(['TEST'], result) # checks we get test uppercase
```
**4. Spy object**
Spy is the object which has all attributes of original, but spy not performed any action, 
all methods return None (if not specified what to return). Therefore, spy log all actions and arguments.
It can be useful if your code has inner object, and you need to test what functions were called.
```python
def function_with_str_inside(value):
    # Suppose we need to check upper was called here inside
    return value.upper()
@test
def spy_for_str():
    spy = Spy('it is a string') # Spy, which is like str, but it is not str!
    function_with_str_inside(spy) # Send our spy instead a str
    is_true(spy.upper.was_called()) # Verify upper was called
```
You can even specify what to return when some function of the spy will be called!
```python
def function_with_str_inside(value):
    # Suppose we need to check upper was called here inside
    return value.upper()
@test
def spy_with_return():
    spy = Spy('string')
    spy.upper.returns('test') # Tells what to return, when upper will be call
    result = function_with_str_inside(spy)
    is_true(spy.upper.was_called())
    equals('test', result) # verify our spy returns 'test'
```
Spy object can be created without original inner object and can be call itself, it can be useful when you need
some dumb object to know it was called.
```python
@test
def check_spy():
    spy = Spy()  # Create "empty" spy
    spy()  # Call it
    is_true(spy.was_called())  # Checks spy was called
```
**5. TestDouble object**
Test-Double object is like the Spy, but it saves original object behaviour, so its methods returns 
real object methods results if not specified otherwise.
```python
@test
def check_double():
    spy = TestDouble("string")  # Create str double-object
    equals(6, len(spy))  # Len returns 6 - the real length of original object ("string")
    spy.len.returns(100)  # Fake len result
    equals(100, len(spy))  # Len now returns 100
```
**Important!** Both spy and TestDouble override **isinstance**, so they emulate type of the original object. It can be useful for
testing functions, which has isinstance check inside. For example:
```python
def function_that_checks_class(obj):
    if isinstance(obj, str):  # check for argument type (string)
        return "OK"
    return "Not OK"
@test
def isinstance_check():
    spy = Spy("fake string")  # fake the real string
    result = function_that_checks_class(spy)  # get "OK" here, cause function thinks it's a string, not Spy
    equals("OK", result)
```
**6. Stub object**
Stub object is just a helper for testing, its purpose not to check or assert something, but to give data
and perform some simple action, when application under test need it. Unlike spy or double, Stub 
is not remember calls, it just a simple replacement for some object with minimum or no logic inside.
Let's say we have a function which gets some object, take its attribute, calculates something and 
return result. We wish to isolate our testing from real objects, just test important behaviour, besides 
this data-object can be hard to create or complicated.
```python
from checking import *
# Our function to test, it get some object and use it attribute and method, but we just 
# need to test how it works!
def function(some_object)->int:
    initial_value = some_object.value
    result = 2 + some_object.complicate_function()*initial_value  # Some calculation we need to test
    return result
@test
def check_with_stub():
    stub = Stub(value=2) # Creates stub with attribute value=2
    stub.complicate_function.returns(2) # Says, when complicate_function will be called returns 2
    equals(6, function(stub))  # Asserts 6 == 2+(2*2)
```
Pay attention - when you look for some attribute in stub - it always has it! But it will be a wrapper to use with 
expression like `stub.any_attribute.returns('test')`. 
So, if you need to have some attribute (not method) on stub, you just use `stub.attr=10`, but for methods just use expression above.
### Function start() to runs test at module ###
You can execute all test at current module using function start(). For example:
```python
from checking import *
@test
def some_check():
    equals(4, 2+2)
if __name__ == '__main__':
    start(3) # Here we run our test function some_check
```
There are parameters to run your tests in different ways:
**suite_name**  - name of the test-suite, to use in reports or in logs
**listener** - object of Listener class, test listener, is the way to work with test results and execution
DefaultListener is used by default. If set, then the verbose parameter is ignored (the one in the listener is used).
**verbose** is the report detail, 0 - briefly (only dots and 1 letter), 1 - detail, indicating only failed
tests, 2 - detail, indicating successful and fallen tests, 3 - detail and at the end, a list of fallen and broken ones
If verbose is not between 0 and 3, then 0 is accepted
Example (name and verbose)
```python
from checking import *
@test
def some_check():
    equals(4, 2 + 2)
@test
def some_check_two():
    equals(2, 1 + 1)
@test
def failed():
    equals(5, 2 + 2)  # Will fail
@test
def broken():
    int('a')  # Will be broken
if __name__ == '__main__':
    start(suite_name='My Suite', verbose=0)
```
This code will gave output (mention dots and chars!):

Test "__main__.check_cat" [Cat from 140288585437776] SUCCESS!
```
If you want to use a text file as a data source, you can use `DATA_FILE` helper function to skip the file handling boilerplate code:
```python
from checking import *
DATA_FILE('files/data.txt', name='provider')   # Use the file located at <module folder>/files/data.txt
@test(data_provider='provider')
def try_prov(it):
    print(it)
    is_true(it)
```
The helper lazy-loads specified data file line by line. 
Raises FileNotFoundError if the file is not found.
Also, you can transform all the lines before feeding them into the test, 
for example delete trailing newlines at the end of each line:
```python
from checking import *
DATA_FILE('files/data.txt', name='provider', map_function=str.rstrip)   # Feed each line through str.rstrip()
@test(data_provider='provider')
def try_prov(it):
    is_true(it)
```
If you don't specify provider_name for the DATA_FILE helper, file_path will be used:
```python
from checking import *
DATA_FILE('data.txt')   # Use text file located at the module folder. Note, that no provider_name is specified.
@test(data_provider='data.txt')   # Use the specified file_name parameter for provider lookup
def try_prov(it):
    is_true(it)
```
If your test suite uses a data provider more than once, you might want to avoid the IO overhead,
if this provider fetches the data from some external source (database, file system, http request etc.). 
You can use the `cached` parameter to force the provider to fetch the data only once and store it into memory.
Please, be varied of the memory consumption, because the cache persists until the whole suite is done running. 
Also, be careful when using the cache when running tests in parallel.
DATA_FILE helper can use this parameter too.
```python
from checking import *
DATA_FILE('data.csv', name='csv', cached=True)   # Enable caching 
@test(data_provider='csv')   # First provider use -- data is fetched from the file and stored into memory
def check_one(it):
    not_none(it)
@test(data_provider='csv')   # Second use -- no file reads, cached data is used
def check_two(it):
    not_none(it)
if __name__ == '__main__':
    start(0)
```
If your provider is a simple one-liner (string, list comprehension, generator expression, etc.), 
you can use the CONTAINER helper function to avoid full function definition boilerplate:  
```python
from checking import *
CONTAINER([e for e in range(10)], name='range')   # Provide data from a listcomps, set provider name to 'range'
@test(data_provider='range')
def try_container(it):
    is_true(it in range(10))
```
'name' parameter is optional, 'container' is used by default,
but it's strongly recommended using a unique name:
```python
from checking import *
CONTAINER((e for e in range(10)))   # Provide data from a genexps
@test(data_provider='container')
def try_container(it):
    is_true(it in range(10))
```
**Important!** You must define DATA_FILE or CONTAINER providers at the module scope, not in the fixtures and tests.
### Test Parameters ###
You can manage the test execution mode by passing a number of parameters to the @test decorator:
**enabled** (bool) - if set to False, the test will be skipped, all other parameters are ignored. By default, set to True.
**name** (str) - the name of the test. Is bound to the decorated function name if not specified.
**description** (str) - test description. If absent, the test function docstring is used. 
If both description and docstring are present, description takes precedence.
**data_provider** (str) - the name of the data provider to use with the test. 
If specified, the test function must take one argument to be fed with the data from the provider. 
Raises UnknownProviderName if no providers with the specified name found.
**retries** (int) - the number of times to run the failing test. If test does not fail, no more runs attempted. By default, set to 1.
**groups** (Tuple[str]) - a tuple of strings, representing the test group names a test is a part of.
All tests belong to some test group, the default group holds all tests from the current module and is named after the module.
Use this parameter to manage test execution groups.
**priority** (int) - test priority. The higher the value the later the test will be executed.
Use this parameter to fine tune test run order. By default, set to 0.
**timeout** (int) - amount of time to wait for the test to end. 
If the time runs out, the thread running the test is terminated and the test is marked as "broken".
Use sparingly due to potential memory leaks.
**only_if** (Callable[None, bool]) - boolean predicate, which is evaluated before the test execution.
The test will be executed only if the predicate evaluates to True.
Use this parameter for conditional test execution e.g. run only if the OS is Linux, etc.
## Fixtures
Each test group or all test-suite can have preconditions and post-actions. For example, open DB connection before test starts and close it after that.
You can easily make it with before/after fixtures. The function that marked with before/after should be without arguments.
@before  - run function before EACH test in group, by default group is current module, but you can specify it with parameter
@after  - run function after EACH test in group, by default group is current module, but you can specify it with parameter.
This function will not be run if there is @before and it failed!
```python
@before(group_name='api')
def my_func():
    do_some_precondition()
@after(group_name='api')
def another_func():
    do_post_actions()
```
@before_group - function run once before running test in group, by default group is current module, but you can specify it with parameter.
@after_group - function run once after running all test in group, by default group is current module, but you can specify it with parameter. 
This function will not be run if there is @before_group and it failed, except using parameter always_run = True
```python
@before_group(name='api')
def my_func():
    do_some_precondition_for_whole_group()
@after_group(name='api', always_run =True)
def another_func():
    do_post_actions_for_whole_group()
```
@before_suite - function runs once before any group at start of the test-suite
@after_suite - function run once after all groups, at the end of the test-suite.
This function will not be run if there is @before_suite, and it failed, except using parameter 'always_run = True'
```python
@before_suite
def my_func():
    print('start suite!')
@after_suite(always_run=True)
def another_func():
    print('will be printed, even if before_suite failed!')
```
## Mock, Double, Stub and Spy
For testing purposes you sometimes need to fake some behaviour or to isolate your application from any other classes/libraries etc.
If you need your test to use fake object, without doing any real calls, you can use mocks:
**1. Fake one of the builtin function.**
Let say you need to test function which is using standard input() inside. 
But you cannot wait for real user input during the test, so fake it with mock object.
```python
def our_weird_function_with_input_inside():
    text = input()
    return text.upper()
@test
def mock_builtins_input():
    with mock_builtins('input', lambda : 'test'): # Now input() just returns 'test', it does not wait for user input.
        result_text = our_weird_function_with_input_inside()
        equals('TEST', result_text)
```
More convenient way is to use mock_input or mock_print for simple and most common cases.
From code above we can test our_weird_function this way
```python
@test
def check_input():
    with mock_input(['test']): # Now input() just returns 'test', it does not wait for user input.
        result_text = our_weird_function_with_input_inside()
        equals('TEST', result_text)
```
Now let's say we have simple function with print inside and need to test it:
```python
def my_print(x):
    print(x)
@test
def check_print():
    with mock_print([]) as result: # now print just collects all to list result
        my_print(1)
        my_print('1')
    equals([(1,), ('1',)], result) # checks all args are in result list
```
and more complicated case, when our function works forever, printing all inputs, until gets 'exit':
```python
def use_both():
    while True:
        word = input('text>>>')
        if word == 'exit':
            break
        print(word)
@test
def check_print_and_input():
    # you can see inputs will get 'a','b' and 'exit' to break cycle, all args will
    # be collected to result list
    with mock_input(['a', 'b', 'exit']), mock_print([]) as result:
        use_both()
    equals([('a',), ('b',)], result)
```
**2. Fake function of the 3-d party library**
For working with other modules and libraries in test module, you need to import this module and to mock it function.
For example, you need to test function, which is using requests.get inside, but you do not want to make real http
request. Let it mock
some_module_to_test.py
```python
import requests
def func_with_get_inside(url):
    response = requests.get(url)
    return response.text
```
our_tests.py
```python
import requests # need to import it for mock!
from some_module_to_test import func_with_get_inside
@test
def mock_requests_get():
    stub = Stub(text='test') # create simple stub, with attribute text equals to 'test'
    with mock(requests, 'get', lambda x: stub):  # Mock real requests with stub object
        equals('test', func_with_get_inside('https://yandex.ru'))  # Now no real requests be performed!
```
**3. Mock read/write to file**
If you need to mock open function, push data to read from file and gets back with write to file, you can use
mock_open context-manager
```python
def my_open():
    # We read from one file, uppercase results and write to another file
    with open('my_file.txt', encoding='utf-8') as f, open('another.txt', 'wt') as f2:
        f2.write(f.readline().upper())
@test
def mock_open_both():
    # Here we specify what we must "read from file" ('test') and where we want to get all writes(result)
    with mock_open(on_read_text='test') as result:
        my_open()
    equals(['TEST'], result) # checks we get test uppercase
```
**4. Spy object**
Spy is the object which has all attributes of original, but spy not performed any action, 
all methods return None (if not specified what to return). Therefore, spy log all actions and arguments.
It can be useful if your code has inner object, and you need to test what functions were called.
```python
def function_with_str_inside(value):
    # Suppose we need to check upper was called here inside
    return value.upper()
@test
def spy_for_str():
    spy = Spy('it is a string') # Spy, which is like str, but it is not str!
    function_with_str_inside(spy) # Send our spy instead a str
    is_true(spy.upper.was_called()) # Verify upper was called
```
You can even specify what to return when some function of the spy will be called!
```python
def function_with_str_inside(value):
    # Suppose we need to check upper was called here inside
    return value.upper()
@test
def spy_with_return():
    spy = Spy('string')
    spy.upper.returns('test') # Tells what to return, when upper will be call
    result = function_with_str_inside(spy)
    is_true(spy.upper.was_called())
    equals('test', result) # verify our spy returns 'test'
```
Spy object can be created without original inner object and can be call itself, it can be useful when you need
some dumb object to know it was called.
```python
@test
def check_spy():
    spy = Spy()  # Create "empty" spy
    spy()  # Call it
    is_true(spy.was_called())  # Checks spy was called
```
**5. TestDouble object**
Test-Double object is like the Spy, but it saves original object behaviour, so its methods returns 
real object methods results if not specified otherwise.
```python
@test
def check_double():
    spy = TestDouble("string")  # Create str double-object
    equals(6, len(spy))  # Len returns 6 - the real length of original object ("string")
    spy.len.returns(100)  # Fake len result
    equals(100, len(spy))  # Len now returns 100
```
**Important!** Both spy and TestDouble override **isinstance**, so they emulate type of the original object. It can be useful for
testing functions, which has isinstance check inside. For example:
```python
def function_that_checks_class(obj):
    if isinstance(obj, str):  # check for argument type (string)
        return "OK"
    return "Not OK"
@test
def isinstance_check():
    spy = Spy("fake string")  # fake the real string
    result = function_that_checks_class(spy)  # get "OK" here, cause function thinks it's a string, not Spy
    equals("OK", result)
```
**6. Stub object**
Stub object is just a helper for testing, its purpose not to check or assert something, but to give data
and perform some simple action, when application under test need it. Unlike spy or double, Stub 
is not remember calls, it just a simple replacement for some object with minimum or no logic inside.
Let's say we have a function which gets some object, take its attribute, calculates something and 
return result. We wish to isolate our testing from real objects, just test important behaviour, besides 
this data-object can be hard to create or complicated.
```python
from checking import *
# Our function to test, it get some object and use it attribute and method, but we just 
# need to test how it works!
def function(some_object)->int:
    initial_value = some_object.value
    result = 2 + some_object.complicate_function()*initial_value  # Some calculation we need to test
    return result
@test
def check_with_stub():
    stub = Stub(value=2) # Creates stub with attribute value=2
    stub.complicate_function.returns(2) # Says, when complicate_function will be called returns 2
    equals(6, function(stub))  # Asserts 6 == 2+(2*2)
```
Pay attention - when you look for some attribute in stub - it always has it! But it will be a wrapper to use with 
expression like `stub.any_attribute.returns('test')`. 
So, if you need to have some attribute (not method) on stub, you just use `stub.attr=10`, but for methods just use expression above.
### Function start() to runs test at module ###
You can execute all test at current module using function start(). For example:
```python
from checking import *
@test
def some_check():
    equals(4, 2+2)
if __name__ == '__main__':
    start(3) # Here we run our test function some_check
```
There are parameters to run your tests in different ways:
**suite_name**  - name of the test-suite, to use in reports or in logs
**listener** - object of Listener class, test listener, is the way to work with test results and execution
DefaultListener is used by default. If set, then the verbose parameter is ignored (the one in the listener is used).
**verbose** is the report detail, 0 - briefly (only dots and 1 letter), 1 - detail, indicating only failed
tests, 2 - detail, indicating successful and fallen tests, 3 - detail and at the end, a list of fallen and broken ones
If verbose is not between 0 and 3, then 0 is accepted
Example (name and verbose)
```python
from checking import *
@test
def some_check():
    equals(4, 2 + 2)
@test
def some_check_two():
    equals(2, 1 + 1)
@test
def failed():
    equals(5, 2 + 2)  # Will fail
@test
def broken():
    int('a')  # Will be broken
if __name__ == '__main__':
    start(suite_name='My Suite', verbose=0)
```
This code will gave output (mention dots and chars!):
```text

Test "__main__.check_cat" [Cat from 140288585437776] SUCCESS!
```
If you want to use a text file as a data source, you can use `DATA_FILE` helper function to skip the file handling boilerplate code:
```python
from checking import *
DATA_FILE('files/data.txt', name='provider')   # Use the file located at <module folder>/files/data.txt
@test(data_provider='provider')
def try_prov(it):
    print(it)
    is_true(it)
```
The helper lazy-loads specified data file line by line. 
Raises FileNotFoundError if the file is not found.
Also, you can transform all the lines before feeding them into the test, 
for example delete trailing newlines at the end of each line:
```python
from checking import *
DATA_FILE('files/data.txt', name='provider', map_function=str.rstrip)   # Feed each line through str.rstrip()
@test(data_provider='provider')
def try_prov(it):
    is_true(it)
```
If you don't specify provider_name for the DATA_FILE helper, file_path will be used:
```python
from checking import *
DATA_FILE('data.txt')   # Use text file located at the module folder. Note, that no provider_name is specified.
@test(data_provider='data.txt')   # Use the specified file_name parameter for provider lookup
def try_prov(it):
    is_true(it)
```
If your test suite uses a data provider more than once, you might want to avoid the IO overhead,
if this provider fetches the data from some external source (database, file system, http request etc.). 
You can use the `cached` parameter to force the provider to fetch the data only once and store it into memory.
Please, be varied of the memory consumption, because the cache persists until the whole suite is done running. 
Also, be careful when using the cache when running tests in parallel.
DATA_FILE helper can use this parameter too.
```python
from checking import *
DATA_FILE('data.csv', name='csv', cached=True)   # Enable caching 
@test(data_provider='csv')   # First provider use -- data is fetched from the file and stored into memory
def check_one(it):
    not_none(it)
@test(data_provider='csv')   # Second use -- no file reads, cached data is used
def check_two(it):
    not_none(it)
if __name__ == '__main__':
    start(0)
```
If your provider is a simple one-liner (string, list comprehension, generator expression, etc.), 
you can use the CONTAINER helper function to avoid full function definition boilerplate:  
```python
from checking import *
CONTAINER([e for e in range(10)], name='range')   # Provide data from a listcomps, set provider name to 'range'
@test(data_provider='range')
def try_container(it):
    is_true(it in range(10))
```
'name' parameter is optional, 'container' is used by default,
but it's strongly recommended using a unique name:
```python
from checking import *
CONTAINER((e for e in range(10)))   # Provide data from a genexps
@test(data_provider='container')
def try_container(it):
    is_true(it in range(10))
```
**Important!** You must define DATA_FILE or CONTAINER providers at the module scope, not in the fixtures and tests.
### Test Parameters ###
You can manage the test execution mode by passing a number of parameters to the @test decorator:
**enabled** (bool) - if set to False, the test will be skipped, all other parameters are ignored. By default, set to True.
**name** (str) - the name of the test. Is bound to the decorated function name if not specified.
**description** (str) - test description. If absent, the test function docstring is used. 
If both description and docstring are present, description takes precedence.
**data_provider** (str) - the name of the data provider to use with the test. 
If specified, the test function must take one argument to be fed with the data from the provider. 
Raises UnknownProviderName if no providers with the specified name found.
**retries** (int) - the number of times to run the failing test. If test does not fail, no more runs attempted. By default, set to 1.
**groups** (Tuple[str]) - a tuple of strings, representing the test group names a test is a part of.
All tests belong to some test group, the default group holds all tests from the current module and is named after the module.
Use this parameter to manage test execution groups.
**priority** (int) - test priority. The higher the value the later the test will be executed.
Use this parameter to fine tune test run order. By default, set to 0.
**timeout** (int) - amount of time to wait for the test to end. 
If the time runs out, the thread running the test is terminated and the test is marked as "broken".
Use sparingly due to potential memory leaks.
**only_if** (Callable[None, bool]) - boolean predicate, which is evaluated before the test execution.
The test will be executed only if the predicate evaluates to True.
Use this parameter for conditional test execution e.g. run only if the OS is Linux, etc.
## Fixtures
Each test group or all test-suite can have preconditions and post-actions. For example, open DB connection before test starts and close it after that.
You can easily make it with before/after fixtures. The function that marked with before/after should be without arguments.
@before  - run function before EACH test in group, by default group is current module, but you can specify it with parameter
@after  - run function after EACH test in group, by default group is current module, but you can specify it with parameter.
This function will not be run if there is @before and it failed!
```python
@before(group_name='api')
def my_func():
    do_some_precondition()
@after(group_name='api')
def another_func():
    do_post_actions()
```
@before_group - function run once before running test in group, by default group is current module, but you can specify it with parameter.
@after_group - function run once after running all test in group, by default group is current module, but you can specify it with parameter. 
This function will not be run if there is @before_group and it failed, except using parameter always_run = True
```python
@before_group(name='api')
def my_func():
    do_some_precondition_for_whole_group()
@after_group(name='api', always_run =True)
def another_func():
    do_post_actions_for_whole_group()
```
@before_suite - function runs once before any group at start of the test-suite
@after_suite - function run once after all groups, at the end of the test-suite.
This function will not be run if there is @before_suite, and it failed, except using parameter 'always_run = True'
```python
@before_suite
def my_func():
    print('start suite!')
@after_suite(always_run=True)
def another_func():
    print('will be printed, even if before_suite failed!')
```
## Mock, Double, Stub and Spy
For testing purposes you sometimes need to fake some behaviour or to isolate your application from any other classes/libraries etc.
If you need your test to use fake object, without doing any real calls, you can use mocks:
**1. Fake one of the builtin function.**
Let say you need to test function which is using standard input() inside. 
But you cannot wait for real user input during the test, so fake it with mock object.
```python
def our_weird_function_with_input_inside():
    text = input()
    return text.upper()
@test
def mock_builtins_input():
    with mock_builtins('input', lambda : 'test'): # Now input() just returns 'test', it does not wait for user input.
        result_text = our_weird_function_with_input_inside()
        equals('TEST', result_text)
```
More convenient way is to use mock_input or mock_print for simple and most common cases.
From code above we can test our_weird_function this way
```python
@test
def check_input():
    with mock_input(['test']): # Now input() just returns 'test', it does not wait for user input.
        result_text = our_weird_function_with_input_inside()
        equals('TEST', result_text)
```
Now let's say we have simple function with print inside and need to test it:
```python
def my_print(x):
    print(x)
@test
def check_print():
    with mock_print([]) as result: # now print just collects all to list result
        my_print(1)
        my_print('1')
    equals([(1,), ('1',)], result) # checks all args are in result list
```
and more complicated case, when our function works forever, printing all inputs, until gets 'exit':
```python
def use_both():
    while True:
        word = input('text>>>')
        if word == 'exit':
            break
        print(word)
@test
def check_print_and_input():
    # you can see inputs will get 'a','b' and 'exit' to break cycle, all args will
    # be collected to result list
    with mock_input(['a', 'b', 'exit']), mock_print([]) as result:
        use_both()
    equals([('a',), ('b',)], result)
```
**2. Fake function of the 3-d party library**
For working with other modules and libraries in test module, you need to import this module and to mock it function.
For example, you need to test function, which is using requests.get inside, but you do not want to make real http
request. Let it mock
some_module_to_test.py
```python
import requests
def func_with_get_inside(url):
    response = requests.get(url)
    return response.text
```
our_tests.py
```python
import requests # need to import it for mock!
from some_module_to_test import func_with_get_inside
@test
def mock_requests_get():
    stub = Stub(text='test') # create simple stub, with attribute text equals to 'test'
    with mock(requests, 'get', lambda x: stub):  # Mock real requests with stub object
        equals('test', func_with_get_inside('https://yandex.ru'))  # Now no real requests be performed!
```
**3. Mock read/write to file**
If you need to mock open function, push data to read from file and gets back with write to file, you can use
mock_open context-manager
```python
def my_open():
    # We read from one file, uppercase results and write to another file
    with open('my_file.txt', encoding='utf-8') as f, open('another.txt', 'wt') as f2:
        f2.write(f.readline().upper())
@test
def mock_open_both():
    # Here we specify what we must "read from file" ('test') and where we want to get all writes(result)
    with mock_open(on_read_text='test') as result:
        my_open()
    equals(['TEST'], result) # checks we get test uppercase
```
**4. Spy object**
Spy is the object which has all attributes of original, but spy not performed any action, 
all methods return None (if not specified what to return). Therefore, spy log all actions and arguments.
It can be useful if your code has inner object, and you need to test what functions were called.
```python
def function_with_str_inside(value):
    # Suppose we need to check upper was called here inside
    return value.upper()
@test
def spy_for_str():
    spy = Spy('it is a string') # Spy, which is like str, but it is not str!
    function_with_str_inside(spy) # Send our spy instead a str
    is_true(spy.upper.was_called()) # Verify upper was called
```
You can even specify what to return when some function of the spy will be called!
```python
def function_with_str_inside(value):
    # Suppose we need to check upper was called here inside
    return value.upper()
@test
def spy_with_return():
    spy = Spy('string')
    spy.upper.returns('test') # Tells what to return, when upper will be call
    result = function_with_str_inside(spy)
    is_true(spy.upper.was_called())
    equals('test', result) # verify our spy returns 'test'
```
Spy object can be created without original inner object and can be call itself, it can be useful when you need
some dumb object to know it was called.
```python
@test
def check_spy():
    spy = Spy()  # Create "empty" spy
    spy()  # Call it
    is_true(spy.was_called())  # Checks spy was called
```
**5. TestDouble object**
Test-Double object is like the Spy, but it saves original object behaviour, so its methods returns 
real object methods results if not specified otherwise.
```python
@test
def check_double():
    spy = TestDouble("string")  # Create str double-object
    equals(6, len(spy))  # Len returns 6 - the real length of original object ("string")
    spy.len.returns(100)  # Fake len result
    equals(100, len(spy))  # Len now returns 100
```
**Important!** Both spy and TestDouble override **isinstance**, so they emulate type of the original object. It can be useful for
testing functions, which has isinstance check inside. For example:
```python
def function_that_checks_class(obj):
    if isinstance(obj, str):  # check for argument type (string)
        return "OK"
    return "Not OK"
@test
def isinstance_check():
    spy = Spy("fake string")  # fake the real string
    result = function_that_checks_class(spy)  # get "OK" here, cause function thinks it's a string, not Spy
    equals("OK", result)
```
**6. Stub object**
Stub object is just a helper for testing, its purpose not to check or assert something, but to give data
and perform some simple action, when application under test need it. Unlike spy or double, Stub 
is not remember calls, it just a simple replacement for some object with minimum or no logic inside.
Let's say we have a function which gets some object, take its attribute, calculates something and 
return result. We wish to isolate our testing from real objects, just test important behaviour, besides 
this data-object can be hard to create or complicated.
```python
from checking import *
# Our function to test, it get some object and use it attribute and method, but we just 
# need to test how it works!
def function(some_object)->int:
    initial_value = some_object.value
    result = 2 + some_object.complicate_function()*initial_value  # Some calculation we need to test
    return result
@test
def check_with_stub():
    stub = Stub(value=2) # Creates stub with attribute value=2
    stub.complicate_function.returns(2) # Says, when complicate_function will be called returns 2
    equals(6, function(stub))  # Asserts 6 == 2+(2*2)
```
Pay attention - when you look for some attribute in stub - it always has it! But it will be a wrapper to use with 
expression like `stub.any_attribute.returns('test')`. 
So, if you need to have some attribute (not method) on stub, you just use `stub.attr=10`, but for methods just use expression above.
### Function start() to runs test at module ###
You can execute all test at current module using function start(). For example:
```python
from checking import *
@test
def some_check():
    equals(4, 2+2)
if __name__ == '__main__':
    start(3) # Here we run our test function some_check
```
There are parameters to run your tests in different ways:
**suite_name**  - name of the test-suite, to use in reports or in logs
**listener** - object of Listener class, test listener, is the way to work with test results and execution
DefaultListener is used by default. If set, then the verbose parameter is ignored (the one in the listener is used).
**verbose** is the report detail, 0 - briefly (only dots and 1 letter), 1 - detail, indicating only failed
tests, 2 - detail, indicating successful and fallen tests, 3 - detail and at the end, a list of fallen and broken ones
If verbose is not between 0 and 3, then 0 is accepted
Example (name and verbose)
```python
from checking import *
@test
def some_check():
    equals(4, 2 + 2)
@test
def some_check_two():
    equals(2, 1 + 1)
@test
def failed():
    equals(5, 2 + 2)  # Will fail
@test
def broken():
    int('a')  # Will be broken
if __name__ == '__main__':
    start(suite_name='My Suite', verbose=0)
```
