Unittest - testing for filenames and filesize

Show all headers | View raw

Hi.

I need help with an assignment and I hope you guys can guide me in the right direction.

This is the code:

------------------
"""
Demostration of setUp and tearDown.
The tests do not actually test anything - this is a demo.
"""
import unittest
import tempfile
import shutil
import glob
import os

class FileTest(unittest.TestCase):
    
    def setUp(self):
        self.origdir = os.getcwd()
        self.dirname = tempfile.mkdtemp("testdir")
        os.chdir(self.dirname)
        
    def test_1(self):
        "Verify creation of files is possible"
        for filename in ("this.txt", "that.txt", "the_other.txt"):
            f = open(filename, "w")
            f.write("Some text\n")
            f.close()
            self.assertTrue(f.closed)
            
    def test_2(self):
        "Verify that current directory is empty"
        self.assertEqual(glob.glob("*"), [], "Directory not empty")
        
    def tearDown(self):
        os.chdir(self.origdir)
        shutil.rmtree(self.dirname)
-------------

I need to modify this code as following:

1. The test_1() method includes code to verify that the test directory contains only the files created by the for loop. Hint: You might create a set containing the list of three filenames, and then create a set from the os.listdir() method.

2. A test_3() method creates a binary file that contains exactly a million bytes, closes it and then uses os.stat to verify that the file on disk is of the correct length (with os.stat, statinfo.st_size returns the size in bytes).

I'm new to Python programming so I don't know where to put the set in point 1. Before the test or under test1.

Would appreciate pointers and solutions (with explanation)for both point 1 and 2.

Thank you in advance.
