Throttling of reporters after 5

To avoid too many diff tools being launched, ApprovalTests will stop launching after the 5th time.
This is configurable in

GenericDiffReporter.throttling_threshold

MrJobApprovals accepts options

MrJobApprovals mistakenly did not allow you to pass options, it does not.

This is an api change, hence the minor version bump

Command Line Approvals

You can invoke a verify() call from the command line
This allows invoking python approvals from any other stack via subprocesses.

Usage:

python -m approvaltests --test-id hello --received "hello world!"

or

python -m approvaltests -t hello -r "hello world!"

or

echo "hello world!" | python -m approvaltests -t hello

Command Line Approvals

What

You can now easily verify command line outputs.

You can also pass inputs into the command line under test, including Iterables.

Why

This allows you to easily test non-python programs from ApprovalTests.

How

see example here

Split approval_utilities

Breaking Change

approval_utilities is becoming its own pypi package to allow usage in production code.

Fixes

You'll have some name spacing changes.

- from approvaltests.utilities.logger ...
+ from approval_utilities.utilities.logger ...

DateScrubber

You can now easily create a date scrubber.

For Example:

    verify("created at 03:14:15", options=Options().with_scrubber(DateScrubber.get_scrubber_for("00:00:00")))

will produce

created at <date0>

SimpleLogger log_to_string is thread safe

log_to_string, by default, now will log 1 string per thread. Allowing multithreaded testing

Extra utilities: verify_simple_logger, verify_storyboard, use_utc_timezone

• verify_simple_logger
• verify_storyboard
• use_utc_timezone() - allow easy testing of datetimes by forcing Timezone while in test
