Python property testing with timeout












0














I have a certain amount of time to test a system. Can I write a Python property test that runs property tests until one hour is up? I looked for a solution in hypothesis but I couldn't find one.



I imagine that property-testing libraries have some kind of test-case generator, in which can I could just pull and execute from it until the timeout is up. This would be an acceptable lazy solution.

    @Prune - this is a question about the Hypothesis library I maintain, and is not a duplicate. Can you reopen so that I can answer?

    Short answer as a comment: Hypothesis does not have a generator you can pull from. However you can add @settings(timeout=60*60, suppress_health_check=HealthCheck.all(), max_examples=10**9) to a test and it should run for an hour (or until finding a bug). github.com/HypothesisWorks/hypothesis/issues/171 is the issue to add a full fuzzing mode.

Hypothesis does not have a generator you can pull from - the internals are implemented quite differently to the usual lazy-infinite-list construction used by Quickcheck (because... Haskell).



We have an open issue to add a fuzzing mode, which will (hopefully) be the subject of an undergrad group project at Imperial College in early 2019.



Until that's ready, you can add @settings(timeout=60*60, suppress_health_check=HealthCheck.all(), max_examples=10**9) to a test and it should run for an hour (or until finding a bug).
