Data driven testing using pytest
by Anshul Gupta June 4, 2014

Hi, I am new to the pytest and still exploring it. I have been searching extensively for data driven testing modules provided by pytest but could not find anything substantial for it. I did came across that using parametrize it can be done but when I am trying to pass data from fixture to the pytest.mark.paramaetrize it does not accept it, below it the small snippet that I am doing. @pytest.fixture Def data(): Return data @pytest.mark.parametrize(“input”,data): Def test_ddt(input): Print input Executing it says that NameError: name 'data' is not defined Please do let me know what is the most appropriate and efficient way of achieving data driven testing using pytest. Thanks in advance!! Regards, Anshul

Weird backtrace involving py/_code/source.py
by Nikolaus Rath June 3, 2014

June 3, 2014

Hello, I am trying to debugging a rather peculiar failure of one of my test cases. I nailed it down to a function being called by a thread that shouldn't be calling it, and without any apparent caller. When I set a breakpoint in the function using pdb, I get the following traceback: > /home/nikratio/in-progress/s3ql/src/dugong/__init__.py(1249)disconnect() -> if self._sock: (Pdb) bt /home/nikratio/in-progress/s3ql/src/s3ql/backends/common.py(1050)close() -> self.fh.close() /home/nikratio/in-progress/s3ql/src/s3ql/backends/s3c.py(686)close() -> self.backend.conn.disconnect() > /home/nikratio/in-progress/s3ql/src/dugong/__init__.py(1249)disconnect() -> if self._sock: (Pdb) bt Suffice to say that there should be no thread that starts running in common.py:1050. I was mystified. I then tried to look at the same call stack in Eclipse using PyDev. Here, I got several additional entries. I put a screenshot on http://www.rath.org/res/Eclipse.png. It seems that somehow my function gets called from getstatementrange_ast() in py/_code/source.py, and from there on upwards its only py.test and py related files. Does this make any sense to anyone? Why is py calling into random places in my code? I am using assertion rewriting. Best, Nikolaus -- GPG encrypted emails preferred.
