[py-dev] new way to organise test state / new blog
by holger krekel Feb. 22, 2009

Feb. 22, 2009

Hi py-dev, testing-in-python and pypy-dev, i just created a blog where i intend to write about news regarding testing and python and metaprogramming. http://tetamap.blogspot.com/ and did a first posting about a new way of doing test state setup with py.test. Um, does anybody know how to do code coloring with blogspot? cheers, holger -- collaborative expert contracting: http://merlinux.eu PyPy Python/Compiler tool chain: http://codespeak.net/pypy pylib py.test/greenlets/svn APIs: http://pylib.org

"pytest" and "py.test" are often used as sysnonyms - and i wasn't aware of this naming conflict. holger

Ooops. Thank you. Laura

[py-dev] pytest news: plugins, pycon, release-separation

Hi folks, some good news. as those glimpsing at pytest svn-commits know i am heavily working on a new plugin architecture. I am really happy about it as those also following me on my brand-new twitter account (hpk42) might guess. Around Pycon i am giving a tutorial about advanced testing topics including cross-platform distributed testing and writing plugins and i plan to talk in detil about the new and much improved ways of doing things. Here is the status: * Terminal reporting is now a nice self-contained plugin * there is a new "xfail" plugin, inspired by SimPy to mark test functions as "expected to fail" and report specially * a "poccoo" plugin for sending test failures to http://paste.pocoo.org * new plugins for managing setup/teardown of application state, using a turns-out-to-work-great new mechanism which i guess nosetests might imitate at some point :) Regarding the next release i consider doing the following: * open two google-code projects "pytest" and "pylib" with their svn repos remaining at codespeak (where many projects share one respository - i prefer that) * move current py/test/ to its own "pytest/" root project and depend on the py lib for install. * aim to do two alpha releases, pytest-1.0 alpha and py lib 1.0 alpha (containing the rest) What do you think? I am unfamiliar with commoditized code hosting and consider using google code. I'd probably like to also have an issue tracker for pytest. Any comments/recommendations? Would someone be up for co-admining such a project? Meanwhile i am finishing up the pytestplugins branch for merge to trunk, stay tuned :) cheers & have fun, hope to meet some of you at Pycon, holger -- collaborative expert contracting: http://merlinux.eu PyPy Python/Compiler tool chain: http://codespeak.net/pypy pylib py.test/greenlets/svn APIs: http://pylib.org
