Showing Red For Failure and Green For Success with Pythons Unittest

To use it, just call :

python

from unittest_red_green import unittest_red_green

and then replace :

if __name__ == '__main__':
    unittest.main()

with :

if __name__ == '__main__':
    unittest_red_green()

Full samples look like this :

### file_under_test.py

class ClassUnderTest():
    def __init__(self):
        self.tone = 1

### unittest_red_green.py

import inspect
import re
import sys
import unittest

from io import StringIO

def unittest_red_green():
    frm = inspect.stack()[1]
    mod = inspect.getmodule(frm[0])
    capture_stream = StringIO()
    suite = unittest.TestLoader().loadTestsFromModule(sys.modules[mod.__name__])
    results = unittest.TextTestRunner(stream=capture_stream, failfast=True).run(suite)
    if len(results.failures) or len(results.errors):
        print("\033[31m")
        print("ERROR: Failed Test Run - Execution halted.")
        print(re.sub("\n$", "", capture_stream.getvalue()), end='')
    else:
        print("\033[32m")
        print(re.sub("\n$", "", capture_stream.getvalue()), end='')

### test_file_under_test.py

import unittest

from unittest_red_green import unittest_red_green
from file_under_test import ClassUnderTest

class TestClassUnderTest(unittest.TestCase):
    def test_tone(self):
        cut = ClassUnderTest()
        expected = 1
        actual = cut.tone
        self.assertEqual(expected, actual)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    unittest_red_green()
