RELEASE: twill 0.7.4

Following the dictat of my users... a new twill release!

Links: Cheese Shop entry, announcement, ChangeLog, and download.

There are lots of bug fixes -- cold filtered for a smooth browsing experience. The main innovation in this release is the unit testing: now, twill uses nose-based unit testing, and it also provides some simple commands to help users use twill to unit test their own apps.

Sample unit-test code:

    import os
    import testlib
    import twill.unit
    import twilltestserver
    from quixote.server.simple_server import run as quixote_run

     def test():
        # port to run the server on
        PORT=8090

         # create a function to run the server
        def run_server_fn():
            quixote_run(twilltestserver.create_publisher, port=PORT)

         # abspath to the script
        script = os.path.join(testlib.testdir, 'test-unit-support.twill')

         # create test_info object
        test_info = twill.unit.TestInfo(script, run_server_fn, PORT)

         # run tests!
        twill.unit.run_test(test_info)

 

(See unit testing with twill for more info.)
