Child Classes

class failureException

Methods

addCleanup

addCleanup(
    *args, **kwargs
)

Add a function, with arguments, to be called when the test is completed. Functions added are called on a LIFO basis and are called after tearDown on test failure or success.

Cleanup items are called even if setUp fails (unlike tearDown).

addTypeEqualityFunc

addTypeEqualityFunc(
    typeobj, function
)

Add a type specific assertEqual style function to compare a type.

This method is for use by TestCase subclasses that need to register their own type equality functions to provide nicer error messages.

Args
typeobj	The data type to call this function on when both values are of the same type in assertEqual().
function	The callable taking two arguments and an optional msg= argument that raises self.failureException with a useful error message when the two arguments are not equal.

assertAllClose

View source

assertAllClose(
    a, b, rtol=1e-06, atol=1e-06, msg=None
)

Asserts that two structures of numpy arrays or Tensors, have near values.

a and b can be arbitrarily nested structures. A layer of a nested structure can be a dict, namedtuple, tuple or list.

Note: the implementation follows numpy.allclose (and numpy.testing.assert_allclose). It checks whether two arrays are element-wise equal within a tolerance. The relative difference (rtol * abs(b)) and the absolute difference atol are added together to compare against the absolute difference between a and b.

Args
a	The expected numpy ndarray, or anything that can be converted into a numpy ndarray (including Tensor), or any arbitrarily nested of structure of these.
b	The actual numpy ndarray, or anything that can be converted into a numpy ndarray (including Tensor), or any arbitrarily nested of structure of these.
rtol	relative tolerance.
atol	absolute tolerance.
msg	Optional message to report on failure.

Raises
ValueError	if only one of a[p] and b[p] is a dict or a[p] and b[p] have different length, where [p] denotes a path to the nested structure, e.g. given a = [(1, 1), {'d': (6, 7)}] and [p] = [1]['d'], then a[p] = (6, 7).

assertAllCloseAccordingToType

assertRaises

assertRaises(
    expected_exception, *args, **kwargs
)

Fail unless an exception of class expected_exception is raised by the callable when invoked with specified positional and keyword arguments. If a different type of exception is raised, it will not be caught, and the test case will be deemed to have suffered an error, exactly as for an unexpected exception.

If called with the callable and arguments omitted, will return a context object used like this::

 with self.assertRaises(SomeException):
     do_something()

An optional keyword argument 'msg' can be provided when assertRaises is used as a context object.

The context manager keeps a reference to the exception as the 'exception' attribute. This allows you to inspect the exception after the assertion::

with self.assertRaises(SomeException) as cm:
    do_something()
the_exception = cm.exception
self.assertEqual(the_exception.error_code, 3)

assertRaisesOpError

View source

assertRaisesOpError(
    expected_err_re_or_predicate

Args
expected_exception	Exception class expected to be raised.
expected_regex	Regex (re.Pattern object or string) expected to be found in error message.
args	Function to be called and extra positional args.
kwargs	Extra kwargs.
msg	Optional message used in case of failure. Can only be used when assertRaisesRegex is used as a context manager.

assertRaisesWithLiteralMatch

assertRaisesWithLiteralMatch(
    expected_exception, expected_exception_message, callable_obj=None, *args,
    **kwargs
)

Asserts that the message in a raised exception equals the given string.

Unlike assertRaisesRegex, this method takes a literal string, not a regular expression.

with self.assertRaisesWithLiteralMatch(ExType, 'message'): DoSomething()

Args
expected_exception	Exception class expected to be raised.
expected_exception_message	String message expected in the raised exception. For a raise exception e, expected_exception_message must equal str(e).
callable_obj	Function to be called, or None to return a context.
*args	Extra args.
**kwargs	Extra kwargs.

Returns
A context manager if callable_obj is None. Otherwise, None.

Raises
self.failureException if callable_obj does not raise a matching exception.

assertRaisesWithPredicateMatch

View source

@contextlib.contextmanager
assertRaisesWithPredicateMatch(
    exception_type, expected_err_re_or_predicate
)

Returns a context manager to enclose code expected to raise an exception.

If the exception is an OpError, the op stack is also included in the message predicate search.

Args
exception_type	The expected type of exception that should be raised.
expected_err_re_or_predicate	If this is callable, it should be a function of one argument that inspects the passed-in exception and returns True (success) or False (please fail the test). Otherwise, the error message is expected to match this regular expression partially.

Returns
A context manager to surround code that is expected to raise an exception.

assertRegex

assertRegex(
    text, expected_regex, msg=None
)

Fail the test unless the text matches the regular expression.

assertRegexMatch

assertRegexMatch(
    actual_str, regexes, message=None
)

Asserts that at least one regex in regexes matches str.

If possible you should use assertRegex, which is a simpler version of this method. assertRegex takes a single regular expression (a string or re compiled object) instead of a list.

Notes:

1. This function uses substring matching, i.e. the matching succeeds if any substring of the error message matches any regex in the list. This is more convenient for the user than full-string matching.

2. If regexes is the empty list, the matching will always fail.

3. Use regexes=[''] for a regex that will always pass.

4. '.' matches any single character except the newline. To match any character, use '(.|\n)'.

5. '^' matches the beginning of each line, not just the beginning of the string. Similarly, '$' matches the end of each line.

6. An exception will be thrown if regexes contains an invalid regex.

Args
actual_str	The string we try to match with the items in regexes.
regexes	The regular expressions we want to match against str. See "Notes" above for detailed notes on how this is interpreted.
message	The message to be printed if the test fails.

assertRegexpMatches

assertRegexpMatches(
    *args, **kwargs
)

assertSameElements

assertSameElements(
    expected_seq, actual_seq, msg=None
)

Asserts that two sequences have the same elements (in any order).

This method, unlike assertCountEqual, doesn't care about any duplicates in the expected and actual sequences.

assertSameElements([1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0], [0, 1]) # Doesn't raise an AssertionError

If possible, you should use assertCountEqual instead of assertSameElements.

Args
expected_seq	A sequence containing elements we are expecting.
actual_seq	The sequence that we are testing.
msg	The message to be printed if the test fails.

assertSameStructure

assertSameStructure(
    a, b, aname='a', bname='b', msg=None
)

Asserts that two values contain the same structural content.

The two arguments should be data trees consisting of trees of dicts and lists. They will be deeply compared by walking into the contents of dicts and lists; other items will be compared using the == operator. If the two structures differ in content, the failure message will indicate the location within the structures where the first difference is found. This may be helpful when comparing large structures.

Mixed Sequence and Set types are supported. Mixed Mapping types are supported, but the order of the keys will not be considered in the comparison.

Args
a	The first structure to compare.
b	The second structure to compare.
aname	Variable name to use for the first structure in assertion messages.
bname	Variable name to use for the second structure.
msg	Additional text to include in the failure message.

assertSequenceAlmostEqual

assertSequenceAlmostEqual(
    expected_seq, actual_seq, places=None, msg=None, delta=None
)

An approximate equality assertion for ordered sequences.

Fail if the two sequences are unequal as determined by their value differences rounded to the given number of decimal places (default 7) and comparing to zero, or by comparing that the difference between each value in the two sequences is more than the given delta.

Note that decimal places (from zero) are usually not the same as significant digits (measured from the most significant digit).

If the two sequences compare equal then they will automatically compare almost equal.

Args
expected_seq	A sequence containing elements we are expecting.
actual_seq	The sequence that we are testing.
places	The number of decimal places to compare.
msg	The message to be printed if the test fails.
delta	The OK difference between compared values.

assertSequenceEqual

assertSequenceEqual(
    seq1, seq2, msg=None, seq_type=None
)

An equality assertion for ordered sequences (like lists and tuples).

For the purposes of this function, a valid ordered sequence type is one which can be indexed, has a length, and has an equality operator.

Args
seq1	The first sequence to compare.
seq2	The second sequence to compare.
seq_type	The expected datatype of the sequences, or None if no datatype should be enforced.
msg	Optional message to use on failure instead of a list of differences.

assertSequenceStartsWith

assertSequenceStartsWith(
    prefix, whole, msg=None
)

An equality assertion for the beginning of ordered sequences.

If prefix is an empty sequence, it will raise an error unless whole is also an empty sequence.

If prefix is not a sequence, it will raise an error if the first element of whole does not match.

Args
prefix	A sequence expected at the beginning of the whole parameter.
whole	The sequence in which to look for prefix.
msg	Optional message to report on failure.

assertSetEqual

assertSetEqual(
    set1, set2, msg=None
)

A set-specific equality assertion.

Args
set1	The first set to compare.
set2	The second set to compare.
msg	Optional message to use on failure instead of a list of differences.

assertSetEqual uses ducktyping to support different types of sets, and is optimized for sets specifically (parameters must support a difference method).

assertShapeEqual(
    np_array, tf_tensor, msg=None
)

Asserts that a Numpy ndarray and a TensorFlow tensor have the same shape.

Args
np_array	A Numpy ndarray or Numpy scalar.
tf_tensor	A Tensor.
msg	Optional message to report on failure.

Raises
TypeError	If the arguments have the wrong type.

assertStartsWith

View source

assertStartsWith(
    actual, expected_start, msg=None
)

Assert that actual.startswith(expected_start) is True.

Args
actual	str
expected_start	str
msg	Optional message to report on failure.

assertTotallyOrdered

assertTotallyOrdered(
    *groups, **kwargs
)

Asserts that total ordering has been implemented correctly.

For example, say you have a class A that compares only on its attribute x. Comparators other than lt are omitted for brevity.

class A(object): def init(self, x, y): self.x = x self.y = y

def hash(self): return hash(self.x)

def lt(self, other): try: return self.x < other.x except AttributeError: return NotImplemented

assertTotallyOrdered will check that instances can be ordered correctly. For example,

self.assertTotallyOrdered( [None], # None should come before everything else. [1], # Integers sort earlier. [A(1, 'a')], [A(2, 'b')], # 2 is after 1. [A(3, 'c'), A(3, 'd')], # The second argument is irrelevant. [A(4, 'z')], ['foo']) # Strings sort last.

Args
*groups	A list of groups of elements. Each group of elements is a list of objects that are equal. The elements in each group must be less than the elements in the group after it. For example, these groups are totally ordered: [None], [1], [2, 2], [3]. **kwargs: optional msg keyword argument can be passed.

assertTrue

assertTrue(
    expr, msg=None
)

Check that the expression is true.

assertTupleEqual

assertTupleEqual(
    tuple1, tuple2, msg=None
)

A tuple-specific equality assertion.

Args
tuple1	The first tuple to compare.
tuple2	The second tuple to compare.
msg	Optional message to use on failure instead of a list of differences.

assertUrlEqual

assertUrlEqual(
    a, b, msg=None
)

Asserts that urls are equal, ignoring ordering of query params.

assertWarns

assertWarns(
    expected_warning, *args, **kwargs
)

Fail unless a warning of class warnClass is triggered by the callable when invoked with specified positional and keyword arguments. If a different type of warning is triggered, it will not be handled: depending on the other warning filtering rules in effect, it might be silenced, printed out, or raised as an exception.

If called with the callable and arguments omitted, will return a context object used like this::

 with self.assertWarns(SomeWarning):
     do_something()

An optional keyword argument 'msg' can be provided when assertWarns is used as a context object.

The context manager keeps a reference to the first matching warning as the 'warning' attribute; similarly, the 'filename' and 'lineno' attributes give you information about the line of Python code from which the warning was triggered. This allows you to inspect the warning after the assertion::

with self.assertWarns(SomeWarning) as cm:
    do_something()
the_warning = cm.warning
self.assertEqual(the_warning.some_attribute, 147)

assertWarnsRegex

assertWarnsRegex(
    expected_warning, expected_regex, *args, **kwargs
)

Asserts that the message in a triggered warning matches a regexp. Basic functioning is similar to assertWarns() with the addition that only warnings whose messages also match the regular expression are considered successful matches.

Args
expected_warning	Warning class expected to be triggered.
expected_regex	Regex (re.Pattern object or string) expected to be found in error message.
args	Function to be called and extra positional args.
kwargs	Extra kwargs.
msg	Optional message used in case of failure. Can only be used when assertWarnsRegex is used as a context manager.

assert_

assert_(
    *args, **kwargs
)

cached_session

View source

@contextlib.contextmanager
cached_session(
    graph=None, config=None, use_gpu=False, force_gpu=False
)

Returns a TensorFlow Session for use in executing tests.

This method behaves differently than self.session(): for performance reasons cached_session will by default reuse the same session within the same test. The session returned by this function will only be closed at the end of the test (in the TearDown function).

Use the use_gpu and force_gpu options to control where ops are run. If force_gpu is True, all ops are pinned to /device:GPU:0. Otherwise, if use_gpu is True, TensorFlow tries to run as many ops on the GPU as possible. If both force_gpu anduse_gpu` are False, all ops are pinned to the CPU.

Example:

class MyOperatorTest(test_util.TensorFlowTestCase):
  def testMyOperator(self):
    with self.cached_session(use_gpu=True) as sess:
      valid_input = [1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0]
      result = MyOperator(valid_input).eval()
      self.assertEqual(result, [1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 5.0, 8.0]
      invalid_input = [-1.0, 2.0, 7.0]
      with self.assertRaisesOpError("negative input not supported"):
        MyOperator(invalid_input).eval()

Args
graph	Optional graph to use during the returned session.
config	An optional config_pb2.ConfigProto to use to configure the session.
use_gpu	If True, attempt to run as many ops as possible on GPU.
force_gpu	If True, pin all ops to /device:GPU:0.

Yields
A Session object that should be used as a context manager to surround the graph building and execution code in a test case.

captureWritesToStream

View source

@contextlib.contextmanager
captureWritesToStream(
    stream
)

A context manager that captures the writes to a given stream.

This context manager captures all writes to a given stream inside of a CapturedWrites object. When this context manager is created, it yields the CapturedWrites object. The captured contents can be accessed by calling .contents() on the CapturedWrites.

For this function to work, the stream must have a file descriptor that can be modified using os.dup and os.dup2, and the stream must support a .flush() method. The default python sys.stdout and sys.stderr are examples of this. Note that this does not work in Colab or Jupyter notebooks, because those use alternate stdout streams.

Example:

class MyOperatorTest(test_util.TensorFlowTestCase):
  def testMyOperator(self):
    input = [1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0]
    with self.captureWritesToStream(sys.stdout) as captured:
      result = MyOperator(input).eval()
    self.assertStartsWith(captured.contents(), "This was printed.")

Args
stream	The stream whose writes should be captured. This stream must have a file descriptor, support writing via using that file descriptor, and must have a .flush() method.

Yields
A CapturedWrites object that contains all writes to the specified stream made during this context.

checkedThread

View source

checkedThread(
    target, args=None, kwargs=None
)

Returns a Thread wrapper that asserts 'target' completes successfully.

This method should be used to create all threads in test cases, as otherwise there is a risk that a thread will silently fail, and/or assertions made in the thread will not be respected.

Args
target	A callable object to be executed in the thread.
args	The argument tuple for the target invocation. Defaults to ().
kwargs	A dictionary of keyword arguments for the target invocation. Defaults to {}.

Returns
A wrapper for threading.Thread that supports start() and join() methods.

countTestCases

countTestCases()

create_tempdir

create_tempdir(
    name=None, cleanup=None
)

Create a temporary directory specific to the test.

Note: The directory and its contents will be recursively cleared before creation. This ensures that there is no pre-existing state.

This creates a named directory on disk that is isolated to this test, and will be properly cleaned up by the test. This avoids several pitfalls of creating temporary directories for test purposes, as well as makes it easier to setup directories and verify their contents. For example:

def test_foo(self):
  out_dir = self.create_tempdir()
  out_log = out_dir.create_file('output.log')
  expected_outputs = [
      os.path.join(out_dir, 'data-0.txt'),
      os.path.join(out_dir, 'data-1.txt'),
  ]
  code_under_test(out_dir)
  self.assertTrue(os.path.exists(expected_paths[0]))
  self.assertTrue(os.path.exists(expected_paths[1]))
  self.assertEqual('foo', out_log.read_text())

See also: create_tempfile() for creating temporary files.

Args
name	Optional name of the directory. If not given, a unique name will be generated and used.
cleanup	Optional cleanup policy on when/if to remove the directory (and all its contents) at the end of the test. If None, then uses self.tempfile_cleanup.

Returns
A _TempDir representing the created directory; see _TempDir class docs for usage.

create_tempfile

create_tempfile(
    file_path=None, content=None, mode='w', encoding='utf8',
    errors='strict', cleanup=None
)

Create a temporary file specific to the test.

This creates a named file on disk that is isolated to this test, and will be properly cleaned up by the test. This avoids several pitfalls of creating temporary files for test purposes, as well as makes it easier to setup files, their data, read them back, and inspect them when a test fails. For example:

def test_foo(self):
  output = self.create_tempfile()
  code_under_test(output)
  self.assertGreater(os.path.getsize(output), 0)
  self.assertEqual('foo', output.read_text())

Note: This will zero-out the file. This ensures there is no pre-existing state. NOTE: If the file already exists, it will be made writable and overwritten.

See also: create_tempdir() for creating temporary directories, and _TempDir.create_file for creating files within a temporary directory.

Args
file_path	Optional file path for the temp file. If not given, a unique file name will be generated and used. Slashes are allowed in the name; any missing intermediate directories will be created. NOTE: This path is the path that will be cleaned up, including any directories in the path, e.g., 'foo/bar/baz.txt' will rm -r foo.
content	Optional string or bytes to initially write to the file. If not specified, then an empty file is created.
mode	Mode string to use when writing content. Only used if content is non-empty.
encoding	Encoding to use when writing string content. Only used if content is text.
errors	How to handle text to bytes encoding errors. Only used if content is text.
cleanup	Optional cleanup policy on when/if to remove the directory (and all its contents) at the end of the test. If None, then uses self.tempfile_cleanup.

Returns
A _TempFile representing the created file; see _TempFile class docs for usage.

debug

debug()

defaultTestResult

defaultTestResult()

doCleanups

doCleanups()

Execute all cleanup functions. Normally called for you after tearDown.

enter_context

enter_context(
    manager
)

Returns the CM's value after registering it with the exit stack.

Entering a context pushes it onto a stack of contexts. The context is exited when the test completes. Contexts are are exited in the reverse order of entering. They will always be exited, regardless of test failure/success. The context stack is specific to the test being run.

This is useful to eliminate per-test boilerplate when context managers are used. For example, instead of decorating every test with @mock.patch, simply do self.foo = self.enter_context(mock.patch(...))' insetUp()`.

Note: The context managers will always be exited without any error information. This is an unfortunate implementation detail due to some internals of how unittest runs tests.

Args
manager	The context manager to enter.

get_temp_dir

View source

get_temp_dir()

Returns a unique temporary directory for the test to use.

If you call this method multiple times during in a test, it will return the same folder. However, across different runs the directories will be different. This will ensure that across different runs tests will not be able to pollute each others environment. If you need multiple unique directories within a single test, you should use tempfile.mkdtemp as follows: tempfile.mkdtemp(dir=self.get_temp_dir()):

Returns
string, the path to the unique temporary directory created for this test.

session

View source

@contextlib.contextmanager
session(
    graph=None, config=None, use_gpu=False, force_gpu=False
)

A context manager for a TensorFlow Session for use in executing tests.

Note that this will set this session and the graph as global defaults.

Use the use_gpu and force_gpu options to control where ops are run. If force_gpu is True, all ops are pinned to /device:GPU:0. Otherwise, if use_gpu is True, TensorFlow tries to run as many ops on the GPU as possible. If both force_gpu anduse_gpu` are False, all ops are pinned to the CPU.

Example:

class MyOperatorTest(test_util.TensorFlowTestCase):
  def testMyOperator(self):
    with self.session(use_gpu=True):
      valid_input = [1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0]
      result = MyOperator(valid_input).eval()
      self.assertEqual(result, [1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 5.0, 8.0]
      invalid_input = [-1.0, 2.0, 7.0]
      with self.assertRaisesOpError("negative input not supported"):
        MyOperator(invalid_input).eval()

Args
graph	Optional graph to use during the returned session.
config	An optional config_pb2.ConfigProto to use to configure the session.
use_gpu	If True, attempt to run as many ops as possible on GPU.
force_gpu	If True, pin all ops to /device:GPU:0.

Yields
A Session object that should be used as a context manager to surround the graph building and execution code in a test case.
