                CommandThread

A 'CommandThread' is a thread that executes commands.

The commands are written to a 'Queue' by a controlling thread. The 'CommandThread' extracts the commands and dispatches them to derived class methods that process them. This class is used as a base class for thread classes used by some targets.

The commands are written to the 'Queue' as Python objects. The normal commands have the form '(method, descriptor, context)' where 'method' is a string. At present, the only value used for 'method' is '_RunTest'. In that case 'descriptor' is a test descriptor and 'context' is a 'Context'. The 'Stop' command is provided as a simple string, not a tuple.

Method Details

__init__(self, target)
(Constructor)

Construct a new 'CommandThread'.

'target' -- The 'Target' that owns this thread.
Overrides:
threading.Thread.__init__

GetTarget(self)

Return the 'Target' associated with this thread.

returns -- The 'Target' with which this thread is associated.

Derived classes must not override this method.

run(self)

Execute the thread.
Overrides:
threading.Thread.run

RunTest(self, descriptor, context)

Run the test given by 'descriptor'.

'descriptor' -- The 'TestDescriptor' for the test to be run.

'context' -- The 'Context' in which to run the test.

This method is called by the controlling thread.

Derived classes must not override this method.

Stop(self)

Stop the thread.

Derived classes must not override this method.
