Submitting pytest-inline plugin
by Yu Liu (Yuki) Jan. 1, 2023

Jan. 1, 2023

Dear pytest developers, We would like to submit our plugin “pytest-inline” to pytest-dev organization. pytest-inline is a plugin to help developers write inline tests at statement level. Inline testing is a new granularity of testing that make it easier to check individual program statements. An inline test is a statement that allows to provide arbitrary inputs and test oracles for checking the immediately preceding statement that is not an inline test. We have a paper about inline tests: https://arxiv.org/abs/2209.06315. Our current repo is at https://github.com/EngineeringSoftware/pytest-inline. We have followed the guidelines to prepare the repo. We have also uploaded the plugin to PyPI. All of our contributors agreed to transfer the repo. Please let us know if you need any further information. Look forward to your feedback. Thanks, Yuki (with Alan, Milos, Owolabi, Pengyu, Zach)

Pytest config for CMake
by Jeremy Retailleau Dec. 16, 2022

Dec. 16, 2022

Hi everyone, As I often work on C++ projects with Python bindings, I noticed that integrating Pytest within CMake was mostly done in hacky ways that were frequently bound to a specific platform or context. So I attempted to release a standard configuration that would work on most platforms and provide additional useful features: https://github.com/buddly27/pytest-cmake I chose not to use pytest-cpp as my project is primarily written in C++ and could provide bindings in multiple languages. Therefore providing a pip-installable CMake config seemed like the best way to create a bridge between these two ecosystems. I am bringing this project to your attention for feedback and possible collaboration to improve it if you are interested! Jeremy

Enabling 2FA for pytest-dev
by Bruno Oliveira Dec. 9, 2022

Dec. 9, 2022

Hi folks, Given the recent incident of suspicious activity using a stolen credential from a pytest-dev org member, it was suggested that pytest is high-enough profile that we should require 2FA for all members. I'm definitely +1 on this, sending this message here in case someone wants to voice concerns. Cheers, Bruno.

github compromised account on organisation
by Floris Bruynooghe Dec. 8, 2022

Dec. 8, 2022

Hi folks, Github recently sent an email warning of a member of the pytest-dev org (I'm purposefully not adding identifiable information here) likely having a compromised API token that may have been abused. The member in question only has read access to all but one plugin repository so the impact is limited. Nevertheless we should probably contact them to ask for them to make sure they revoke all API tokens, replace them with more limited-scopes ones if possible and audit the plugin. If they can't do this or don't respond I guess we should (temporarily) restrict their access to the plugin as well. I'm happy to contact them, but also didn't do so yet just in case multiple folks jump on this. Probably one is enough. Cheers, Floris
