Autodoc
=======
Generate documentation from your unit-test.

.. image:: https://travis-ci.org/heavenshell/py-autodoc.png?branch=master

This library is Python implementation of Autodoc.

- `Autodoc `_
- `Test::JsonAPI::Autodoc `_

Links
-----

- `Repository `_
- `Documentation `_

Installation
------------

::

$ virtualenv --distribute autodoc_sample
$ source autodoc/bin/activate
$ cd autodoc
$ pip install autodoc

Usage
-----
Run unittest with PYAUTODOC=1 to generate documents for your tests decorated with `@autodoc.generate`.

::

PYAUTODOC=1 python -m unittest examples/test_unittest.py

If you use py.test as test runner.

::

PYAUTODOC=1 py.test tests examples/test_pytest.py

If you use nose as test runner.

::

PYAUTODOC=1 nosetests tests examples/test_unittest.py

Example for unittest
--------------------
::

class TestUnittest(TestCase):
def setUp(self):
app = create_app
self.client = TestApp(app)

@classmethod
@autodoc.generate('var/test_unittest.rst')
def tearDownClass(cls):
pass

@autodoc.describe('GET /')
def test_get(self):
""" GET / """
res = self.client.get('/')
self.assertEqual(res.status_code, 200)

return res

`@autodoc.describe()` describe test name.

For example `GET /` assigned to generated document.

`@autodoc.generate(path_to_output)` will generate document.

Example for py.test
-------------------
::

@pytest.fixture
def setup():
setup = TestApp(create_app)

return setup

@autodoc.generate('var/test_pytest.md', template='templates/markdown.md')
def teardown_module(module):
pass

@autodoc.describe('POST /')
def test_post(setup):
res = setup.post_json('/', params={'id': 1, 'message': 'foo'})
assert res.status_code == 200

return res

Example for requests
--------------------
::

import requests

class TestUnittest(TestCase):
def setUp(self):
self.client = requests

@classmethod
@autodoc.generate('var/test_unittest.rst')
def tearDownClass(cls):
pass

@autodoc.describe('POST /')
def test_post(self):
""" POST / """
params = {'id': 1, 'message': 'foo'}
headers = {'content-type': 'application/json'}
res = self.client.post('http://example.com/',
data=params, headers=headers)
self.assertEqual(res.status_code, 200)

return res

Conventions
-----------

Return WebTest or requests response in test method
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Py-Autodoc must return WebTest response.

::

@autodoc.describe('POST /')
def test_post(setup):
res = setup.post_json('/', params={'id': 1, 'message': 'foo'})
assert res.status_code == 200

return res # Must return WebTest or requests response.

Generate document point
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

`@autodoc.generate` will create document.

If you set `@autodoc.generate` to each test case, document will generate each file.

::

class TestUnittest(TestCase):
def setUp(self):
app = create_app
self.client = TestApp(app)

@autodoc.generate('var/indext_get.rst')
@autodoc.describe('GET /')
def test_get(self):
""" GET / """
res = self.client.get('/')
self.assertEqual(res.status_code, 200)

return res

@autodoc.generate('var/foo_get.rst')
@autodoc.describe('GET /foo')
def test_get(self):
""" GET / """
res = self.client.get('/foo')
self.assertEqual(res.status_code, 200)

return res

This will generate `var/index_get.rst` and `var/foo_get.rst`.

If you want to generate all tests into single file,
decorate `@autodoc.generate` to `tearDownClass`, `teardown_module` fixture.

Configuration
-------------
You can configure `@autodoc.generat(output, template=path_to_template)` to change template file.
