[py-dev] py.test : setup / teardown at the directory level
by Philippe Fremy April 16, 2010

April 16, 2010

Hi, I was wondering if there is a possibility to have or emulate setup/teardown method for an entire directory of tests ? I have an expensive setup/teardown method, which I share through about 10 modules, each with about 20 tests. I would save time if I could do the setup/teardown just for that directory. cheers, Philippe

[py-dev] new parametrized tests / deprecating yield
by holger krekel May 25, 2009

May 25, 2009

Hi folks, for those not following my blog, here is my post about the newstyle generative tests which are to substitute and improve on "yield" based tests, among other parametrization methods: http://tetamap.wordpress.com/2009/05/13/parametrizing Hope to get another py.test beta out next week that would contain this. I am still set to finish refining and documenting extension hooks ... the above was part of that effort although i originally planned the "parametrizing" hook as a post 1.0 feature. Anyway, let me know what you think - there is still time to do some adjustments or changes especially to funcargs. cheers, holger -- Metaprogramming, Python, Testing: http://tetamap.wordpress.com Python, PyPy, pytest contracting: http://merlinux.eu
