test_function_definition: can we test_object within it? about pythonwhat HOT 4 CLOSED

Have you tried using test_object_after_expression()?

test_function_definition('shout', body = lambda: test_object_after_expression('shout_word'))

test_object() only works in the global scope.

However Filip and me have been thinking about making the notation to test things more 'Pythonic'. These functions are actually in this kind of format (with the lambda/custom defined functions and stuff), because that's how it was done in R. However in Pyhton in might make more sense to write the test you'd like to do like this:

Below is an idea, code won't work

test_function_definition('shout').get_body().test_object('shout_word')

This could make testing in Python more "object-oriented-ish". You could go to a notation like this:

shout_def_body = test_function_definition('shout').get_body()
shout_def_body.test_object('shout_word')
shout_def_body.test_function(...)
shout_def_body.test_if_else(...)

I'm sure we'll discuss this further when Filip's back. Might be interesting to include you in that conversation to get your feedback.

@franciscastro and I will try test_object_after_expression() and let you know how it goes!

@hugobowne did you figure it out?

from pythonwhat.

test_function_definition('shout', body = lambda: test_object_after_expression('shout_word')) works!

@vincentvankrunkelsven

i agree we should discuss a more more "object-oriented-ish" python sct with filip :-)
