pytest-capturelog status/merging to core?
by holger krekel Nov. 9, 2015

Nov. 9, 2015

Hi all, pytest-capturelog has been abandoned [1] but is still getting used a lot as far as i see. As it basically helps dealing with capturing logging and logging is part of the python standard lib i think we could see to merge it into pytest and maintain it from there. Is anyone up for trying to do this along the lines of pytest-cache? FWIW I expect less breakage with pytest-capturelog because there is no change like there was with the execnet->json move while merging. It should be a relatively straightforward task. Alternatively we could see to get maintainership from pypi admins but i think in this case it's not worth it. best, hogler [1] I and others tried to contact the author several times to no avail.

[ANN] pytest-travis-fold plugin
by Eldar Abusalimov Oct. 20, 2015

Oct. 20, 2015

Hi, I'm pleased to announce a new pytest-travis-fold plugin that provides better look and feel when using Travis CI. Once installed it makes captured stdout / stderr sections of failing tests appear folded in the Travis CI build log view. To enable it, add this install step to .travis.yml: install: - pip install pytest-travis-fold You may install it either through .travis.yml, tox.ini, setup.py requirements, ... - whatever you find appropriate. In any case it won't interfere with your dev environment; it is only activated when it detects the Travis CI environment, or by using the --travis-fold command line switch (in general, you won't need it though). GitHub: https://github.com/abusalimov/pytest-travis-fold PyPI: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pytest-travis-fold I'd be happy to get your feedback! -- Best regards, Eldar Sh. Abusalimov

First release of pytest-vw!
by Florian Bruhin Oct. 7, 2015

Oct. 7, 2015

Hey, I'm happy to announce the first release of pytest-vw, a pytest plugin which makes failing test cases succeed in continuous integration tools. See https://github.com/The-Compiler/pytest-vw for more information. Of course, any similarities with a current event concerning (but not limited to) a multinational automobile manufacturer are purely coincidental. (In all seriousness: This was mainly to try the excellent cookiecutter[1] and cookiecutter-pytest-plugin[2] projects - it's also inspired by (read: a blatant ripoff of) PHPunit VW) [1] https://github.com/audreyr/cookiecutter [2] https://github.com/pytest-dev/cookiecutter-pytest-plugin [3] https://github.com/hmlb/phpunit-vw Florian -- http://www.the-compiler.org | me(a)the-compiler.org (Mail/XMPP) GPG: 916E B0C8 FD55 A072 | http://the-compiler.org/pubkey.asc I love long mails! | http://email.is-not-s.ms/

pytest 2.8.2 released
by Florian Bruhin Oct. 7, 2015

Oct. 7, 2015

Hey, I'm happy to announce pytest 2.8.2 has been released. In case you wonder, pytest is a widely used mature test runner both for unit and functional test purposes in python. See http://pytest.org for documentation and examples. Among other things, this release fixes a regression introduced in 2.8.1 when using parametrize with encoded byte strings: - fix #1085: proper handling of encoding errors when passing encoded byte strings to pytest.parametrize in Python 2. Thanks Themanwithoutaplan for the report and Bruno Oliveira for the PR. - fix #1087: handling SystemError when passing empty byte strings to pytest.parametrize in Python 3. Thanks Paul Kehrer for the report and Bruno Oliveira for the PR. - fix #995: fixed internal error when filtering tracebacks where one entry was generated by an exec() statement. Thanks Daniel Hahler, Ashley C Straw, Philippe Gauthier and Pavel Savchenko for contributing and Bruno Oliveira for the PR. Thanks to all who contributed to this release, among them: Bruno Oliveira Demian Brecht Florian Bruhin Ionel Cristian Mărieș Raphael Pierzina Ronny Pfannschmidt holger krekel There are still some regressions open from 2.8, among them an issue when using objects with a custom __getattr__ with Python 2.6: https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/1035 Fixes for those issues are in progress, and there hopefully will be a 2.8.3 release soon. Thanks for flying pytest and sorry for the turbulences! ;) Florian -- http://www.the-compiler.org | me(a)the-compiler.org (Mail/XMPP) GPG: 916E B0C8 FD55 A072 | http://the-compiler.org/pubkey.asc I love long mails! | http://email.is-not-s.ms/

Feedback on Cookiecutter Pytest Plugin
by Raphael Pierzina Oct. 7, 2015

Oct. 7, 2015

Hi there, At EuroPython 2015 Andreas and I sprinted on a Cookiecutter [1] template that helps you to get started with writing Pytest plugins. I am reaching out to you as I would love to get some feedback. I warmly welcome you to submit issues and PRs. Please let me know if you feel the need for a certain feature or encounter any problems with the template. https://github.com/pytest-dev/cookiecutter-pytest-plugin Up to this point it provides the following features: - Installable PyPI package featuring a setup.py. - Test suite running Tox and Pytest that makes sure your plugin is working as expected - Working example code for a fixture, a cli option, as well as a pytest.ini option - Comprehensive README.rst file that contains useful information about your plugin - Optional documentation with either Sphinx or MkDocs - Choose from several licenses, such as MIT, BSD-3, or GNU GPL v3.0 Thank you! Raphael [1]: https://github.com/audreyr/cookiecutter A command-line utility that creates projects from cookiecutters (project templates). E.g. Python package projects, jQuery plugin projects.
