Grouping tests
by Christoph Zwerschke March 27, 2020

March 27, 2020

Hi all, I hope this is the right place to ask the following. I am currently using https://github.com/ropez/pytest-describe to group tests in a large test suite because it looks nicer than using classes and looks more like the tests in the JavaScript library that I am recreating in Python. Also, when using classes, tests methods will need an additional "self". And I'm not sure whether they can be nested. Unfortunately, pytest-describe has gotten rusty, and there are issues (e.g. https://github.com/ropez/pytest-describe/issues/26) which need help by some pytest experts. Is someone here interested in working on this and keeping pytest-describe alive and compatible with newer pytest versions? Otherwise, any alternative suggestions for grouping tests nicely? -- Christoph

Fwd: Continuing on failures
by Maximilian Roos March 27, 2020

March 27, 2020

Hi there, To prefix: as a long time user and evangelizer of pytest, a big thank you for the superb tool. I wanted to build a tool that replaces incorrect values in tests with correct values, similar to frameworks like rust's insta <https://github.com/mitsuhiko/insta> or ocaml's ppx_expect <https://github.com/janestreet/ppx_expect>, but ideally in the pytest spirit of retaining the use of `assert` rather than a custom function. I built a PoC <https://github.com/max-sixty/pytest-accept> that successfully replaces the *first* error in a test with the correct value. As per that README, it only works on the first failure, because the test doesn't continue execution beyond that. *Is there any way of allowing execution to continue, without ripping up the internals of pytest?* My prior is "no", since the assertion rewrite still retains an assertion, and there's no hook for changing that. Ref: a similar question I asked @okken https://github.com/okken/pytest-check/issues/32 Thank you, Max

message to my IT/hacking friends Mar17
by holger krekel March 17, 2020

March 17, 2020

Dear pytestonistas, i sincerely hope that you all are well or find ways of adjusting -- #covid19 is a social and emotional challenge of planeraty scale. I've written down a little "message to my IT/hacking" friends: https://holgerkrekel.net/2020/03/17/message-to-my-it-hacking-friends-mar17/ As some of you know i am involved in Delta Chat and if you feel you would like to help build a resilient messaging eco-system that works well in shutdown situations (it does in Cuba, Russia, Iran and other places) ... and if you feel you and people around you and close to you are in a good enough situation to help ... then maybe join #deltachat on freenode and https://lists.codespeak.net/postorius/lists/delta.codespeak.net/ ... i intend to post some bits there where i'd love help from Pythonistas and pytestas :) But really, don't feel obliged in any way -- stay safe and socially distant, take breaks from the digital! holger

Hi everyone, over the last few months Ran demonstrated both excellent communication and contribution. I believe Ran would make a great addition to the Core team. So after reaching out to Ran to check if that's ok, I'm asking the rest us to formalize addition.. -- Ronny
