[py-dev] upcoming 2.2 features / RFC

[holger krekel]

Hi folks,

i've just committed some new docs and changes to pytest to be
released as "2.2.0" soon.  I welcome any feedback including
"makes sense", "nice but only if it would do XYZ ...", ...

You can install the dev version via

    pip install -i http://pypi.testrun.org -U pytest
    
and should get at least 2.2.0.dev7 (see py.test --version).  It should
be backward compatible almost completely except for pytest-xdist which you 
can upgrade via "pip install -i http://pypi.testrun.org -U pytest-xdist"

There are two new features:

--durations=N profiling: see how long your tests and fixtures take
by looking at the "N" slowest tests.

and improved marking for structuring and instrumenting your test suite:
registering markers, a new "-m markexpr" option and "--markers" for
showing registered markers, and "--strict" for treating unregistered
markers as an error, see

  http://pytest.org/2.2.0.dev7/mark.html#mark

for some more details.

best,
holger
