Python unittest report passed test
Question: Hello I have a test module like the following under "test.py":

    
    
    class TestBasic(unittest.TestCase):
        def setUp(self):
            # set up in here
    
    class TestA(TestBasic):
        def test_one(self):
            self.assertEqual(1,1)
    
        def test_two(self):
            self.assertEqual(2,1)
    
    if __name__ == "__main__":
        unittest.main()
    

And this works pretty good, but I need a way to print which test passed, for
example I could print the output to the console:

    
    
    test_one: PASSED
    test_two: FAILED
    

Now the twist, I could add a print statement right after the
self.assertEqual() and that would be a passed test and I could just print it,
but I need to run the test from a different module, let's say
"test_reporter.py" where I have something like this:

    
    
    import test
    suite = unittest.TestLoader().loadTestsFromModule(test)
    results = unittest.TextTestRunner(verbosity=0).run(suite)
    

at this point with results is when I build a report.

So please any suggestion is welcome

Thanks !!


Answer: Like [Corey's comment](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16679660/python-
unittest-report-passed-test#comment24002393_16679660) mentioned, if you set
`verbosity=2` unittest will print the result of each test run.

    
    
    results = unittest.TextTestRunner(verbosity=2).run(suite)

If you want a little more flexibility - and you might since you are creating
suites and using test runners - I recommend that you take a look at [Twisted
Trial](http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/TwistedTrial). It extends Python's
`unittest` module and provides a few more assertions and reporting features.

Writing your tests will be exactly the same (besides subclassing
twisted.trial.unittest.TestCase vs python's unittest) so your workflow won't
change. You can still use your `TestLoader` but you'll have the options of
many more TestReporters
<http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/11.1.0/api/twisted.trial.reporter.html>.

For example, the default TestReporter is `TreeReporter` which returns the
following output: ![enter image description
