Method test_answerless If a query is responded to with no answers or nameserver records, the Deferred returned by Resolver.lookupAddress fires with ResolverError.
Method test_boundedQueries Resolver.lookupAddress won't issue more queries following delegations than the limit passed to its initializer.
Method test_delegationLookupEmpty If there are no records in the response to a lookup of a delegation nameserver, the Deferred returned by Resolver.lookupAddress fires with ResolverError.
Method test_delegationLookupError If there is an error resolving the nameserver in a delegation response, the Deferred returned by Resolver.lookupAddress fires with that error.
Method test_detectCanonicalNameLoop If there is a cycle between CNAME records in a response, this is detected and the Deferred returned by the lookup method fails with ResolverError.
Method test_filteredQuery Resolver._query accepts a Query instance and an address, issues the query, and returns a Deferred which fires with the response to the query. If a true value is passed for the filter parameter, the result is a three-tuple of lists of records.
Method test_followCanonicalName If no record of the requested type is included in a response, but a CNAME record for the query name is included, queries are made to resolve the value of the CNAME.
Method test_lookupAddress root.Resolver.lookupAddress looks up the A records for the specified hostname by first querying one of the root servers the resolver was created with and then following the authority delegations until a result is received.
Method test_lookupChecksClass If a response includes a record with a class different from the one in the query, it is ignored and lookup continues until a record with the right class is found.
Method test_lookupNameservers Resolver.lookupNameservers is like Resolver.lookupAddress, except it queries for NS records instead of A records.
Method test_missingGlue If an intermediate response includes no glue records for the authorities, separate queries are made to find those addresses.
Method test_missingName If a name is missing, Resolver.lookupAddress returns a Deferred which fails with DNSNameError.
Method test_returnCanonicalName If a CNAME record is encountered as the answer to a query for another record type, that record is returned as the answer.
Method test_unfilteredQuery Similar to test_filteredQuery, but for the case where a false value is passed for the filter parameter. In this case, the result is a Message instance.
Method _getResolver Create and return a new root.Resolver modified to resolve queries against the record data represented by servers.
Method _queryTest Invoke Resolver._query and verify that it sends the correct DNS query. Deliver a canned response to the query and return whatever the Deferred returned by Resolver._query fires with.
Method _respond Create a Message suitable for use as a response to a query.

Inherited from TestCase:

Method __call__ Run the test. Should always do exactly the same thing as run().
Method __init__ Construct an asynchronous test case for methodName.
Method addCleanup Extend the base cleanup feature with support for cleanup functions which return Deferreds.
Method assertFailure Fail if deferred does not errback with one of expectedFailures. Returns the original Deferred with callbacks added. You will need to return this Deferred from your test case.
Method deferRunCleanups Run any scheduled cleanups and report errors (if any) to the result. object.
Method deferSetUp Undocumented
Method deferTearDown Undocumented
Method deferTestMethod Undocumented
Method getSuppress Undocumented
Method getTimeout Returns the timeout value set on this test. Checks on the instance first, then the class, then the module, then packages. As soon as it finds something with a timeout attribute, returns that. Returns util.DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_DURATION...
Instance Variable timeout A real number of seconds. If set, the test will raise an error if it takes longer than timeout seconds. If not set, util.DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_DURATION is used.
Method _cbDeferTestMethod Undocumented
Method _classCleanUp Undocumented
Method _cleanUp Undocumented
Method _deprecateReactor Deprecate iterate, crash and stop on reactor. That is, each method is wrapped in a function that issues a deprecation warning, then calls the original.
Method _ebDeferSetUp Undocumented
Method _ebDeferTearDown Undocumented
Method _ebDeferTestMethod Undocumented
Method _makeReactorMethod Create a method which wraps the reactor method name. The new method issues a deprecation warning and calls the original.
Method _run Run a single method, either a test method or fixture.
Method _runFixturesAndTest Really run setUp, the test method, and tearDown. Any of these may return defer.Deferreds. After they complete, do some reactor cleanup.
Method _undeprecateReactor Restore the deprecated reactor methods. Undoes what _deprecateReactor did.
Method _wait Take a Deferred that only ever callbacks. Block until it happens.

Inherited from SynchronousTestCase (via TestCase):

Method __eq__ Override the comparison defined by the base TestCase which considers instances of the same class with the same _testMethodName to be equal. Since trial puts TestCase instances into a set, that definition of comparison makes it impossible to run the same test method twice...
Method __hash__ Undocumented
Method callDeprecated Call a function that should have been deprecated at a specific version and in favor of a specific alternative, and assert that it was thusly deprecated.
Method flushLoggedErrors Remove stored errors received from the log.
Method flushWarnings Remove stored warnings from the list of captured warnings and return them.
Method getDeprecatedModuleAttribute Retrieve a module attribute which should have been deprecated, and assert that we saw the appropriate deprecation warning.
Method getSkip Return the skip reason set on this test, if any is set. Checks on the instance first, then the class, then the module, then packages. As soon as it finds something with a skip attribute, returns that in a tuple (...
Method getTodo Return a Todo object if the test is marked todo. Checks on the instance first, then the class, then the module, then packages. As soon as it finds something with a todo attribute, returns that. Returns ...
Method mktemp Create a new path name which can be used for a new file or directory.
Method patch Monkey patch an object for the duration of the test.
Method run Run the test case, storing the results in result.
Method runTest If no methodName argument is passed to the constructor, run will treat this method as the thing with the actual test inside.
Method shortDescription Undocumented
Instance Variable failureException An exception class, defaulting to FailTest. If the test method raises this exception, it will be reported as a failure, rather than an exception. All of the assertion methods raise this if the assertion fails.
Instance Variable skip None or a string explaining why this test is to be skipped. If defined, the test will not be run. Instead, it will be reported to the result object as 'skipped' (if the TestResult supports skipping).
Instance Variable suppress None or a list of tuples of (args, kwargs) to be passed to warnings.filterwarnings. Use these to suppress warnings raised in a test. Useful for testing deprecated code. See also util.suppress.
Instance Variable todo None, a string or a tuple of (errors, reason) where errors is either an exception class or an iterable of exception classes, and reason is a string. See Todo or makeTodo for more information.
Method _getSkipReason Return the reason to use for skipping a test method.
Method _getSuppress Returns any warning suppressions set for this test. Checks on the instance first, then the class, then the module, then packages. As soon as it finds something with a suppress attribute, returns that. ...
Method _installObserver Undocumented
Method _removeObserver Undocumented
Method _runCleanups Synchronously run any cleanups which have been added.
Instance Variable _cleanups Undocumented
Instance Variable _observer Undocumented
Instance Variable _parents Undocumented
Instance Variable _testMethodName Undocumented

Method assertEqual Fail the test if first and second are not equal.
Method assertFalse Fail the test if condition evaluates to True.
Method assertIn Fail the test if containee is not found in container.

Method assertIsInstance Fail if instance is not an instance of the given class or of one of the given classes.
Method assertIsNot Fail the test if first is second. This is an obect-identity-equality test, not an object equality (i.e. __eq__) test.

Method assertNotIsInstance Fail if instance is an instance of the given class or of one of the given classes.

Method assertSubstring Fail if substring does not exist within astring.
