String List of Server Modules with Pattern Matching Function

Hey Anvil Team, hope your Thursday is going well!

Recently I ran into an issue trying to automatically discover unit tests on the server side. A hardcoded workaround was suggested, but I still want to have the capability to automatically find my tests.

The current way I’m running the tests (with no auto discovery of test modules):

@anvil.server.callable
def run_tests(verbosity=0):
  test_modules = ['ServerModule1']
  test = unittest.TestLoader().loadTestsFromNames(test_modules)
  unittest.TextTestRunner(stream=sys.stdout, verbosity=verbosity).run(test)

The way I’d like to run the server tests (with module auto discovery, implemented by Anvil)

@anvil.server.callable
def run_tests(verbosity=0):
  test_modules = anvil.server.moudles.discover(pattern = "_TestModule")
  test = unittest.TestLoader().loadTestsFromNames(test_modules)
  unittest.TextTestRunner(stream=sys.stdout, verbosity=verbosity).run(test)
