This is a very powerful feature, that helps to define very complex suites in a relatively compact way.
Consider the following suite:
| Code Block |
|---|
suite test
family f1
task a
task b
task c
task d
task e
endfamily
family f2
task a
task b
task c
task d
task e
endfamily
family f3
task a
task b
task c
task d
task e
endfamily
family f4
task a
task b
task c
task d
task e
endfamily
family f5
task a
task b
task c
task d
task e
endfamily
family f6
task a
task b
task c
task d
task e
endfamily
endsuite |
This can be written in python as:
|
|
...
| Code Block |
|---|
def create_sequential_suite(name) :
suite = Suite(name)
for i in range(1, 7) :
fam = suite.add_family("f" + str(i))
if i != 1:
fam += Trigger("f" + str(i-1) + " == complete") # or fam.add_family( "f%d == complete" % (i-1) )
for t in ( "a", "b", "c", "d", "e" ) :
fam.add_task(t)
return suite |

Adding Node attributes
There are several styles for adding node attributes(Repeat,Time,Today,Date,Day,Cron,Clock,DefStatus,Meter,Event,Variable,Label,Trigger, Complete, Limit,Inlimit,Zombie,Late)
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
# Functional style node.add_variable(home,'COURSE') # c++ style node.add_limit('limitX',10) # c++ style # Using <node>.add(<attributes>) node.add(Edit(home=COURSE), # Notice that add() allows you adjust the indentation Limit('limitX',10)) # node.add(<attributes>) # in place. When creating a Node, attributes are additional arguments (preferred) # This also allows indentation. # Task(name,<attributes>) # Family(name,Node | <attributes>) # Suite(name,Node | <attributes>) node = Family('t1', Edit(home='COURSE'), Limit('limitX',10), Task('t1', Event('e'))) # Using <node> += <attribute> adding a single attribute node += Edit(home='COURSE') # Using <node> += [ <attributes> ] - use list to add multiple attributes node += [ Edit(home='COURSE'), Limit('limitY',10), Event(1) ] # Using node + <attributes> - A node container(suite | family) must appear on the left hand side. Use brackets to control scope. node + Edit(home=COURSE) + Limit('limitZ',10) # In this example, variable 'name' is added to suite 's/' and not task 't3' suite = Suite("s") + Family("f") + Family("f2") + Task("t3") + Edit(name="value") suite s edit name 'value' family f endfamily family f2 endfamily task t3 endsuite # here we use parenthesis to control where the variable get added. suite = Suite("s") + Family("f") + Family("f2") + (Task("t3") + Edit(name="value")) suite s family f endfamily family f2 endfamily task t3 edit name 'value' endsuite |
