Possible to run python doctest on a jupyter cell function?
doctest, ipython, jupyter, jupyter-notebook
Solution
Try this on Jupyter notebook:
def my_fun():
'''
>>> 2 + 3
6
'''
pass
import doctest
doctest.testmod()
The result should be:
**********************************************************************
File "__main__", line 3, in __main__.my_fun
Failed example:
2 + 3
Expected:
6
Got:
5
**********************************************************************
1 items had failures:
1 of 1 in __main__.my_fun
***Test Failed*** 1 failures.
TestResults(failed=1, attempted=3)
(I used python 2.7.12)
Problem
There seems to be a package to enable this functionality, but I have no luck with it in python 3.5.2, or 2.7.12: ``` from ipython_doctester import test @test def my_fun(): ''' >>> 2 + 3 6 ''' pass TypeError: data must be a dict, got: 'ipython_doctester' ``` Is it possible to run a doctest from a jupyter cell using this package or some other way? I've looked at %doctest_mode also, and I see that it turns Doctest mode off and on, but have been unable to run an actual doctest from a cell.
