Cricket-pt is a graphical tool that helps you run your test suites.

Cricket-pt is derived from the Cricket in the BeeWare suite. The project website is http://pybee.org/cricket.

New versions (not yet released 0.3+) of Cricket use the Toga widget toolkit and support pytest. Toga isn't currently working on Windows and Linux. This version is a backport of pytest to the tkinter based Cricket. Getting everything working and some additional features makes it hard to contribute change upstream. See Changelog.txt for details. The focus is on pytest, so unittest and django may have experienced some bit rot. This project can die when Toga and Cricket are stable on all platforms.

At present, Cricket has support for:

• pytest test suites
• unittest test suites
• Django 1.6+ test suites using unittest2-style discovery (untested)
• Pre-Django 1.6 test suites (untested)

Running pytest:

$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt
$ python cricket/pytest/__main__.py

This will pop up a GUI window. Hit "Run all", and watch your test suite execute. A progress bar is displayed in the bottom right hand corner of the window, along with an estimate of time remaining.

While the suite is running, you can click on test names to see the output of that test. If the test passed, it will be displayed in green; other test results will be shown in other colors.

Cricket-pt should run on Linux, Windows, and MacOS (untested).

Ubuntu's packaging of Python omits the idlelib library from it's base package. If you're using Python 3.6 on Ubuntu 18.04, you can install idlelib by running:

$ sudo apt-get install python3-tk idle-python3.6

For other versions of Python and Ubuntu, you'll need to adjust this as appropriate.

If you're running Cricket in a virtualenv under Windows, you'll need to set an environment variable so that Cricket can find the TCL graphics library:

$ set TCL_LIBRARY=c:\Python27\tcl\tcl8.5

You'll need to adjust the exact path to reflect your local Python install. You may find it helpful to put this line in the activate.bat script for your virtual environment so that it is automatically set whenever the virtualenv is activated.
