Moving pytest-rerunfailures to pytest-dev
by Florian Pilz Oct. 27, 2016

Oct. 27, 2016

Hi, I’m asking whether `pytest-rerunfailures` should be moved to the `pytest-dev` organisation (https://github.com/gocept/pytest-rerunfailures <https://github.com/gocept/pytest-rerunfailures>). Since we (gocept) only rarely take time to work on issues / pull requests of `pytest-rerunfailures` we would prefer to move the extremely useful plugin to `pytest-dev`. There we still can work on it, but are not the only ones taking care of the project. So if you think `pytest-rerunfailures` is a great addition to `pytest` and should be moved to the pytest-dev organization, let us know. :) Best wishes Florian ––––––––– Florian Pilz · fp(a)gocept.com · Software Developer gocept gmbh & co. kg · Forsterstraße 29 · 06112 Halle (Saale) · Germany http://gocept.com <http://gocept.com/> · Tel +49 345 122 9889 7 Python, Pyramid, Plone, Zope · consulting, development, hosting, operations

pytest sprint
by Sivan Greenberg April 22, 2016

April 22, 2016

Hi All, I'm really interested in the sprint! specifically in contributing to a standardized server testing fixture as I miss the ability to configure a full www-root structure with pytest-localserver and pytest-server-fixtures seems broken through pip (but I did not investigate too deep to confirm this is not just in my setup ;)). And indeed, the fixture system in general needs more helpb to be understandable. Also, as I'm using pytest to test PyQt based mechanized browsers, I'd love to see what work needs to be done to have something around that standardized as well - namely, QApplication setup and teardown (modulescope breaks its) and anything I can help off the list of items to work on from the list. I'll be coming from Tel Aviv, a flight to Frankfurt / Berlin would be around 450$ or a bit less, Skyscanner does not show me how can one get from Tel Aviv to Freiburg via air travel. Perhaps a train is needed? :) (Is Freiburg in Switzerland , or ?.. A bit confused after my googling). Many thanks, (and thanks for pytest!) -Sivan

ANN: nose2pytest 1.0
by oliver April 10, 2016

April 10, 2016

Announcing a project hosted on GitHub called nose2pytest ( https://github.com/schollii/nose2pytest). This project helps migrate a test suite that was written for Nose to work with pure pytest. It converts nose.tools.assert_ functions into raw assert statements so you can better (IMO) leverage pytest assertion introspection. It may even decrease test suite dependencies by 1; after nose2test has been run on a test suite, it is no longer needed. The nose2pytest script has already successfully converted approximately 5000 assertions, so this is v1.0. However, there are many ways to harness Nose functionality so I'm really curious to see if nose2test can be useful to others. I'm sure there is lots of room for improvement. Any feedback or contributions would be much appreciated. Regards, Oliver

Does pytest support IronPython ?
by M.Rajani Kanth Reddy March 30, 2016

March 30, 2016

Hi All, The documentation of pytest says "runs on Posix/Windows, Python 2.6-3.5, PyPy and (possibly still) Jython-2.5.1". It didn't mention about usage of pytest in IronPython environment. Do you have any documentation on usage of pytest in .Net or C# using IronPython. Or, what is the best way to make use of C# and .NET platform libraries in Python and PyTest. Any pointers on this topic is highly appreciated. Regards, M.RajaniKanth Reddy Bangalore, India.

where to announce nose2pytest
by oliver March 25, 2016

March 25, 2016

I have created a script that enables conversion of nose.tools.assert_ function calls to raw assert statements. The project is at https://github.com/schollii/nose2pytest. Where would be a good place to post this so pytest users know about it? Thanks, -- Oliver Open Source contributions: PyPubSub <http://pubsub.sf.net/>, nose2pytest <https://github.com/schollii/nose2pytest>, Lua-iCxx <http://lua-icxx.sf.net/>, iof <http://iof.sf.net/> StackOverflow <http://stackoverflow.com/users/869951/schollii> contributions

Refactoring/fixing markers
by Ronny Pfannschmidt March 22, 2016

March 22, 2016

Hi Everyone, the current marker implementation has a massive bugs/issues wrt application of markers "smearning" across class boundaries due to marker transfer (which is basically completely broken). In order to elevate the issue, i'd like to change how markers are viewed by test items, the idea is to completely remove them from the actual objects, except for pytestmark collections on modules/classes/functions items would then get a merged view of markers that apply to them without ever copying/changing the marker collections of the applying objects this would change the external interface for markers, thus requiring a major version (pytest-3.0) so i#d like to request a branch on the main repo expressing that intent. i'm planning to implement this in the next 1-2 weeks. -- Ronny

New Trove Classifier: "Framework :: Pytest"
by Bruno Oliveira March 22, 2016

March 22, 2016

Hi all, A new Trove Classifier "Framework :: Pytest" has been added to PyPI[1] following a request I made some time ago[2]. With this users have another way to search for pytest plugins besides searching only for projects with "pytest-" prefix, which is great! Later on today I will update the official docs to mention this and update plugincompat[3] to also use this classifier to find plugins. I recommend all plugin authors to include this classifier in your ``setup.py`` and publish the change to PyPI. For those who don't know, you don't need to publish a new release to update the PyPI project page, you can just add the classifier to ``setup.py`` and execute ``python setup.py register``. :) Cheers, [1] https://pypi.python.org/pypi?%3Aaction=list_classifiers [2] https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/issues/542 [3] http://plugincompat.herokuapp.com/

pytest-nodev "test-driven code search" is in feature freeze
by Alessandro Amici March 16, 2016

March 16, 2016

All, I feel my plugin for searching python code using tests is ready for prime time, I invite interested parties to give it a spin. Feedback is very welcome, here of on the running "Show HN" page: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11297137 This is how you get up and running: http://pytest-nodev.readthedocs.org/en/stable/quickstart.html Issues and contributions go here: https://github.com/nodev-io/pytest-nodev Please note that this is my first pytest plugin and I had some weird needs so I feel internals are not as nice as they could be. An expert eye or two reviewing my use of the plugin interface will be very, very appreciated: https://github.com/nodev-io/pytest-nodev/blob/master/pytest_nodev/plugin.py Thanks in advance, Alessandro
