Python unittest - how to chose the url on which the tests are executed?

I am somewhat of a beginner in python, i am currently writing a suite of test cases with selenium webdriver using unittest; i have also found a lot of useful answers here, but it's time a ask my first question, i have struggled a lot with this and cannot find a proper answer, so any help is greatly appreciated:
For short, i have a suite of multiple tests cases, and in each case the first step is always ".get('Some URL')"; i have written these test cases for a single environment, but i would like to be able to select the URL on which all tests will be executed. In the example below i called the "access_url" method with a specific environment, but i need to do this for all of my scenarios at once, is it possible to do this from where i execute the .py file (e.g. "python example.py")? or to pass it in the .run() method when i select what suite to run?
import HTMLTestRunner
from selenium import webdriver
import unittest
This is a custom class used to create the 'access_url' method
def MyClass(object):
def __init__(self, driver):
self.driver = driver
def access_url(self, URL):
if URL == 'environment 1':
self.driver.get('https://www.google.com/')
elif URL == 'environment 2':
self.driver.get('https://example.com/')
In the classes i use to write test cases the first step is always 'access URL'
class TestScenario01(unittest.TestCase):
def setUp(self):
[...]
def test_01_access(self):
MyClass(self.driver).access_url(URL='environment 2')
def test_02(self):
[...]
def test_03(self):
[...]
In order to run the tests i place them all in a suite and use .run() on them
tc_scenario01 = unittest.TestLoader().loadTestsFromTestCase(TestScenario01)
test_suite = unittest.TestSuite([tc_scenario01])
HTMLReporterCustom.HTMLTestRunner().run(test_suite)
Finally, in order to execute the script i type the follwoing line in CMD: 'python example_file.py
As i mentioned above, all i want to do is to be able to somehow pass the URL one time to all test cases that call the "access_url()" method. Thanks!

You can maintain environment properties in separate config file.
config.py
DEFAULT_ENVIRONMENT='environment1'
URL =
'environment1': 'https://www.google.com/',
'environment2': 'https://example.com/'
Your Class,
from package import config
def MyClass(object):
def __init__(self, driver):
self.driver = driver
def access_url(self):
self.driver.get(config.URL[config.DEFAULT_ENVIRONMENT])
Then test class will be as expected,
class TestScenario01(unittest.TestCase):
def setUp(self):
[...]
def test_01_access(self):
MyClass(self.driver).access_url()
def test_02(self):
[...]
def test_03(self):
[...]
While running test you can change,
main.py
from package import config
config.DEFAULT_ENVIRONMENT = 'enviroment2'
tc_scenario01 = unittest.TestLoader().loadTestsFromTestCase(TestScenario01)
test_suite = unittest.TestSuite([tc_scenario01])
HTMLReporterCustom.HTMLTestRunner().run(test_suite)
You can also pass the environment name while running python main.py.
main.py
if __name__ == '__main__':
config.DEFAULT_ENVIRONMENT = sys.argv[1] if len(sys.argv) > 2 else 'dev'
tc_scenario01 = unittest.TestLoader().loadTestsFromTestCase(TestScenario01)
test_suite = unittest.TestSuite([tc_scenario01])
HTMLReporterCustom.HTMLTestRunner().run(test_suite)
This is so amazingly elegant! i was looking into all kinds of complicated solutions, it honestly never crossed my mind to put it in a variable and change it just before the .run() method. I am still wrapping my mind around all the programming concepts, so not only did you help me, but i also learned something. Thank you so much!
