A timer plugin for nosetests that answers the question: how much time does every test take?
To install the latest release from PyPI:
pip install nose-timer
Or to install the latest development version from Git:
pip install git+git://github.com/mahmoudimus/nose-timer.git
Or to install the latest from source:
git clone https://github.com/mahmoudimus/nose-timer.git cd nose-timer pip install .
You can also make a developer install if you plan on modifying the source frequently:
pip install -e .
Run nosetests with the --with-timer flag, and you will see a list of the
tests and the time spent by each one (in seconds):
myapp.tests.ABigTestCase.test_the_world_is_running: 56.0010s myapp.tests.ABigTestCase.test_the_rest_of_the_galaxy_is_running: 2356.0010s
For example, to show only the 10 slowest tests, run nosetests with the
--timer-top-n flag:
nosetests --with-timer --timer-top-n 10
You can highlight slower tests using --timer-ok and --timer-warning flags.
Default time unit is the second, but you can specify it explicitly, e.g. 1s, 100ms.
- Tests which take less time than
--timer-okwill be highlighted in green. - Tests which take less time than
--timer-warningwill be highlighted in yellow. - All other tests will be highlighted in red.
In some cases, you may want to disable colors completely. This is done by using the
--timer-no-color flag. This is useful when running tests in a headless console.
It is possible to filter results by color. To do so, you can use the
--timer-filter flag:
nosetests --with-timer --timer-filter ok nosetests --with-timer --timer-filter warning nosetests --with-timer --timer-filter error
Or to apply several filters at once:
nosetests --with-timer --timer-filter warning,error
You can cause any tests that exceed a threshold to fail by specifying the
--timer-fail option:
- If you specify
--timer-fail warning, slow tests which would be displayed as a warning (i.e. that take more time than--timer-ok) will fail. - If you specify
--timer-fail error, slow tests which would be displayed as an error (i.e. that take more time than--timer-warning) will fail.
For example, to fail any tests that take more than 5 seconds:
nosetests --with-timer --timer-warning 5.0 --timer-fail error
Use the --timer-json-file <myfile.json> flag, it will save the result
in the following format:
{
'tests':
{
'<test key 1>':
{
'status': 'success'|'error'|'fail,
'time': <float in s>
},
'<test key 2>':
{
'status': 'success'|'error'|'fail,
'time': <float in s>
},
....
}
