[ptt-users] how to run a Jython/Python unit test?

[Lars Huttar]

Hello,
This seems like a really dumb question, but I can't figure it out.
I have been writing a Python unit test, based on HTTP_Example.py.
But I can't figure out how to have TestMaker run it. I assume I need to 
put it into a functional test (which is the same thing as a test 
scenario?). But how do I do that?
I guess it should go in <resources>, but the docs for <resources> don't 
show an example of a python resource. Maybe analogous to the ruby 
example? something like
    <module name="MyPythonClass" path="./example_agents/HTTP_Example.py"/>

Oh... I just found a relevant example. In 
example_agents\monitoringExample\mytestmonitor.xml there is a python 
unit test:
          <module name="myscript" 
path="./example_agents/monitoringExample/myjython.py"/>

I will go ahead and post this email in case others are trying to figure 
out the same thing.

Would be nice to have this in the documentation. E.g. on the page 
http://docs.pushtotest.com/docs/reference.html,
the section on <resources> could say that <module> is used for python 
scripts as well as ruby (and also ...).
It would also be nice to have the meaning of the name attribute of 
<module> defined (it appears to be the ID that <run>/@module will use to 
refer to the module).

Regards,
Lars
