process for replacing yield tests with modern style
by Chris Dent Nov. 28, 2016

Nov. 28, 2016

Several years ago I developed a relative simple YAML-based way of doing HTTP tests. The processed turned yaml into tests and yielded them for pytest to collect. At the time yield was the pytest approved way of doing such things. That's here: https://github.com/tiddlyweb/tiddlyweb/blob/master/test/http_runner.py A few years later I took that idea and turned it into gabbi[1]. Because of local constraints (OpenStack) gabbi needed to be unittest, subunit and testrepository compliant and oriented. Only later, and in rather a hurry, did I add pytest support, using the yield style that I already knew. It's a bit of hacky mess because the tests are ordered unittest.TestCases inside a unittest.TestSuite that has fixtures in the scope of the TestSuite. Each yaml file becomes a TestSuite. For the pytest side of things, plugin code[2] uses the modifyitems hooks to get the fixtures working effectively. Some "driver"[3] code yields tests to a user-code[4] for loading the tests. I recognize that this is all a bit messy, but it does the job. Now, with the advent of pytest 3.x yield tests are deprecated and I'm not sure of the correct way to get the same behavior in modern-style. I'm aware of solutions for using yaml files themselves as the test files[5] but that would be a problem for existing deployed tests that use the style shown in [4] and would also require conftest.py or command line arguments and what I'm hoping to maintain is a way for unadorned discovery to work and for the gabbi tests to be fairly integrated with other tests. I can certainly migrate to the [5] style but I see this as a good opportunity to learn more of the details of how pytest generates tests and use it. Can anyone give me some pointers please? Thanks very much.

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

[proposal] deprecating the pytest_namespace hook
by Ronny Pfannschmidt Sept. 5, 2016

Sept. 5, 2016

hi all currently the need to initialize the namespace makes it necessary to do the initialization of the plugin-manager in a relatively ugly fashion and without full knowledge of what should happen to the process i would like to remove that need, so we only ever initialize a pluginmanager from a call to pytest.main -- Ronny

[proposal] collection roots
by Ronny Pfannschmidt Aug. 31, 2016

Aug. 31, 2016

Hi everyone, at work i am hitting a problem where tests have to be shared between teams, while fixtures may differ in order to ease that i came up with a initial idea for specifying where to look for tests in pytest.ini example: [pytest] collect_roots= base=module://framework.basetests myteam=file://./test/ with a default value of collect_roots= . = file://. the specification would give the possibility to make test suite repos and import test suites -- Red Hat GmbH, http://www.de.redhat.com/, Registered seat: Grasbrunn, Commercial register: Amtsgericht Muenchen, HRB 153243, Managing Directors: Charles Cachera, Michael Cunningham, Michael O'Neill, Eric Shander

3.0.1 tonight?
by Bruno Oliveira Aug. 23, 2016

Aug. 23, 2016

Hi everyone, Since 3.0.0 was released, two regressions have been reported and this afternoon the fix for the last one was merged. Unless someone still has some issue that they would like to work on for this release, I was thinking of making a 3.0.1 release tonight. What you guys think? Should we wait a few more days to see if other regressions show up, or the two we found so far are enough to warrant a release? Cheers, Bruno

pytest and Mozilla's Open Source Support program
by Florian Bruhin Aug. 22, 2016

Aug. 22, 2016

Hey, via [1] (German) I just stumbled upon Mozilla's MOSS program[2]. They have a track[3] where they found generic OSS projects furthering their mission, and another one[4] (probably more relevant to us) where they fund projects they use themselves. From what I've seen via Dave Hunt, Mozilla is quite a heavy pytest user with various plugins they wrote. The grants are between $10k and $250k. If time permits, this could e.g. be used by Merlinux (i.e., Holger's company) to allow someone to work on pytest (or possibly, tox/devpi - not sure if those are used at Mozilla too?) full-time for a while. It seems for the next round of founding, we'd have to apply until the end of August. I haven't really thought much about it yet, just thought I'd throw it out here - thoughts?

Documentation translations
by Kentaro Hori Aug. 22, 2016

Aug. 22, 2016

Congratulations on 3.0 release. I was reading the Contribution getting started <http://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/contributing.html#id2> It mention "Documentation translations." but there is no link for more information. Is there any action on it? I'd like to translate to Japanese.

pytest 3.0.0 released!
by Bruno Oliveira Aug. 20, 2016

Aug. 20, 2016

Hello everyone, The pytest team is proud to announce the 3.0.0 release! pytest is a mature Python testing tool with more than a 1600 tests against itself, passing on many different interpreters and platforms. This release contains a lot of bugs and improvements, and much of the work done on it was possible because of the 2016 Sprint[1], which was funded by an indiegogo campaign which raised over US$12,000 with nearly 100 backers. There's a "What's new in pytest 3.0" [2] blog post highlighting the major features in this release. To see the complete changelog and documentation, please visit: http://docs.pytest.org As usual, you can upgrade from pypi via: pip install -U pytest Thanks to all who contributed to this release, among them: AbdealiJK Ana Ribeiro Antony Lee Brandon W Maister Brianna Laugher Bruno Oliveira Ceridwen Christian Boelsen Daniel Hahler Danielle Jenkins Dave Hunt Diego Russo Dmitry Dygalo Edoardo Batini Eli Boyarski Florian Bruhin Floris Bruynooghe Greg Price Guyzmo HEAD KANGAROO JJ Javi Romero Javier Domingo Cansino Kale Kundert Kalle Bronsen Marius Gedminas Matt Williams Mike Lundy Oliver Bestwalter Omar Kohl Raphael Pierzina RedBeardCode Roberto Polli Romain Dorgueil Roman Bolshakov Ronny Pfannschmidt Stefan Zimmermann Steffen Allner Tareq Alayan Ted Xiao Thomas Grainger Tom Viner TomV Vasily Kuznetsov aostr marscher palaviv satoru taschini Happy testing, The py.test Development Team [1] http://blog.pytest.org/2016/pytest-development-sprint/ [2] http://blog.pytest.org/2016/whats-new-in-pytest-30/
