Call and execute methods from a list
#1
In command line I give as arguments script --args startApp() login() buyProduct() for example. I have a method that generates a list by given args wich are actually methods that define actions and will look like this in that case [startApp(),login(),buyProduct()].

What I have inside firstTest now, does not work. It does not throw errors, but it simply does nothing and stops.

class Tests(unittest.TestCase):

    def argsCollector(self):
        argumentsList = list()
        for i in sys.argv:
            argumentsList.append(i)
        argumentsList.pop(0)
        return argumentsList

    def firstTest(self):
        self.argsCollector()

def hagerTests():
    suite = unittest.TestSuite()
    suite.addTest(TestSuites('firstTest'))
    return suite

if __name__== "__main__":
    runner.run(hagerTests())
From here I want to give the list to the firstTest method then execute the suite that contains only one test firstTest(). Then this method when I execute the code/test should have something like this:

def firstTest():
    #somehow recive the list of steps given in cmd described above
    #then if the list received is succesfull the test can be executed because it will contain something like this
    #startApp()
    #login()
    #buyProduct()  
So how can I call and execute the methods inside my list that are given as args in cmd?
