Method addFailure Record that a test has failed with the given failure.
Method addSkip Record that a test has been skipped for the given reason.
Method addSuccess Record that test passed.
Method addUnexpectedSuccess Record that the given test failed, and was expected to do so.
Method done Called when the test run is complete.
Method startTest Report the beginning of a run of a single test method.
Method stopTest Report the status of a single test method
Method wasSuccessful Return a boolean indicating whether all test results that were reported to this reporter were successful or not.

def addError(test, error): (source)

Record that a test has raised an unexpected exception.

Parameters
testThe test that has raised an error.
errorThe error that the test raised. It will either be a three-tuple in the style of sys.exc_info() or a Failure object.
def addExpectedFailure(test, failure, todo=None): (source)

Record that the given test failed, and was expected to do so.

In Twisted 15.5 and prior, todo was a mandatory parameter.

Parameters
test:unittest.TestCaseThe test which this is about.
failure:failure.FailureThe error which this test failed with.
todo:unittest.TodoThe reason for the test's TODO status. If None, a generic reason is used.
def addFailure(test, failure): (source)

Record that a test has failed with the given failure.

Parameters
testThe test that has failed.
failureThe failure that the test failed with. It will either be a three-tuple in the style of sys.exc_info() or a Failure object.
def addSkip(test, reason): (source)

Record that a test has been skipped for the given reason.

Parameters
testThe test that has been skipped.
reasonAn object that the test case has specified as the reason for skipping the test.
def addSuccess(test): (source)

Record that test passed.

def addUnexpectedSuccess(test, todo=None): (source)

Record that the given test failed, and was expected to do so.

In Twisted 15.5 and prior, todo was a mandatory parameter.

Parameters
test:unittest.TestCaseThe test which this is about.
todo:unittest.TodoThe reason for the test's TODO status. If None, a generic reason is used.
def done(): (source)

Called when the test run is complete.

This gives the result object an opportunity to display a summary of information to the user. Once you have called done on an IReporter object, you should assume that the IReporter object is no longer usable.

def startTest(method): (source)

Report the beginning of a run of a single test method.

Parameters
methodan object that is adaptable to ITestMethod
def stopTest(method): (source)

Report the status of a single test method

Parameters
methodan object that is adaptable to ITestMethod
def wasSuccessful(): (source)

Return a boolean indicating whether all test results that were reported to this reporter were successful or not.

shouldStop = (source)

A boolean indicating that this reporter would like the test run to stop.

testsRun = (source)

The number of tests that seem to have been run according to this reporter.
