[py-dev] Failing to manage test state of a module with py.test
by Pierre Rouleau Jan. 15, 2007

Jan. 15, 2007

Hi all, Using the latest of py.test (svn 34683), I can't seem to be able to control a module test setup using setup_module() as described in section 2.15 of http://codespeak.net/py/current/doc/test.html The document gives the following example: def setup_module(module): """ setup up any state specific to the execution of the given module. """ Now, I am assuming that the the definition of setup_module() must be written /inside/ the test script that test the module-under-test tested, right? Second, I am also assuming that setup_module's argument is the name of the module-under-test. Given the above assumptions, if I write a test script to test roman.py would be called test_roman.py and would include def setup_module(roman): print 'SETTING up roman for testing....' And if I ran py.test -s test_roman.py I should be able to see the printed output. I don't. So, what do i do wrong here? Thanks
