treon

Easy to use test framework for Jupyter Notebooks.

Runs notebook top to bottom and flags execution errors if any
Runs unittest present in your notebook code cells
Runs doctest present in your notebook code cells

Why should you use it?

Start testing notebooks without writing a single line of code
Multithreaded execution for quickly testing a set of notebooks
Executes every Notebook in a fresh kernel to avoid kernel state interference
Primarily a command line tool that can be used easily in any Continuous Integration (CI) system
Soon to be part of ReviewNB's CI system that automatically runs treon everytime you push notebook changes to GitHub

Installation

pip install treon

Command line arguments

Usage:
  treon
  treon [PATH] [--threads=<number>] [-v]

Arguments:
  PATH                File or directory path to find notebooks to test. Searches recursively for directory paths. [default: current working directory]

Options:
  --threads=<number>  Number of parallel threads. Each thread processes one notebook file at a time. [default: 10]
  -v --verbose        Print detailed output for debugging.
  -h --help           Show this screen.
  --version           Show version.

unitttest example

You just need to add tests as shown below & treon would execute them and report the result on the console. See this for more details on how to write unittest.

doctest example

You just need to add tests as shown below & treon would execute them and report the result on the console. See this for more details on how to write doctest.

Note about dependencies

You need to run treon from environment (virtualenv/pipenv etc.) that has all the dependcies required for Notebooks under test
treon only works with python3+ environments and uses python3 kernel for executing notebooks

Motivation

Our aim at ReviewNB is to make notebooks a first class entity in the production workflow. We've built a code review system for Notebooks. The next step is to build a CI pipeline & treon is the core tool in that effort. It is licensed librerally (MIT) & I foresee it being used as an independent tool as well. You can use it locally and/or integrate with CI system of your choice.

For motivation, checkout Netflix's blog to see how notebooks are graduating from scratchpad to a part of production workflow.
