[Zope-dev] [PATCH] subunit output for zope.testing

[Jonathan Lange]

Hello,

For a long time, I've wanted to have a subunit output formatter for
zope.testing. Subunit is a language-generic streaming protocol for
test results. Once a test runner can display subunit output, it
becomes much easier to write tools to process output programmatically.
We want to use it in the Launchpad project for analyzing test results
and for distributing our test runs across multiple machines. Other
projects use it to get Hudson integration, or to glue their
multi-language test suite into one result. More information on subunit
can be found at http://launchpad.net/subunit.

I've written a patch that adds subunit support to zope.testing by
adding a new formatter object. The patch comes complete with tests and
a willingness to jump through whatever legal hoops might be required
to get it to land. The patch is attached, and can also be found as a
merge proposal on Launchpad at
https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~jml/zope.testing/subunit-output-formatter/+merge/19825

I look forward to your replies.
