[py-dev] Little py.test patch
by Antonio Cuni May 28, 2006

May 28, 2006

Hi Holger, I've written a little patch for py.test that implements a new feature. Basically, I noticed that often I do the following code-and-test cycle, especially after a large refactoring: - edit the code - run all test with -x - correct the bug (ofter a stupid one, like a type) - restart the cycle I don't like to run all tests without -x because often one small bug affects many tests, so I don't want to wait for them to be completed. The problem with my approach is that when the failing tests are at the end of the queue I have to wait long before all previous tests (that I already know to pass) complete, so I wrote some code that let me to start from a specific test (identified by a number) and skip the ones that come before. The command-line option to do this is '-n'; when a test fails its number is printed at the start of the traceback, just after the name, so we can easily restart from there. I don't know how well written is the patch, because I know very little of py.test internals, it may seem just a quick hack, but it does the job. Here is the diff against revision 26654, feel free to include in the repository. ciao Anto

Hi, the attached patch improves win32 support for some of the command line utilities in the py library. - add support for CMD.EXE in env.py - add "env.cmd" that behaves like "eval `python env.py`" on Unix - add proper quoting for the various scripts in bin/win32 - end scripts in bin/win32 with newlines - set svn:eol-style native on bin/win32 scripts Regards, Geert

[py-dev] Ann: PyTestMate

Hi everyone, I'm not sure there's anyone here who develops on Mac, nor if there is anyone who uses the wonderful TextMate editor on said Mac. However, if you do, and you're interested, I have created a little tool to help with py.test within TextMate. The link to my blog entry and the code itself is here... http://www.craigelachie.org/serendipity/index.php?/archives/41-PyTestMate.h… -- Stand Fast, tjg.
