It is now easier, more efficient and +more predicatable to re-run the same tests with different fixture +instances. Also, you can directly declare the caching "scope" of +fixtures so that dependent tests throughout your whole test suite can +re-use database or other expensive fixture objects with ease. Lastly, +it's possible for fixture functions (formerly known as funcarg +factories) to use other fixtures, allowing for a completely modular and +re-useable fixture design. + +For detailed info and tutorial-style examples, see: + + http://pytest.org/latest/fixture.html + +Moreover, there is now support for using pytest fixtures/funcargs with +unittest-style suites, see here for examples: + + http://pytest.org/latest/unittest.html + +Besides, more unittest-test suites are now expected to "simply work" +with pytest. + +All changes are backward compatible and you should be able to continue +to run your test suites and 3rd party plugins that worked with +pytest-2.2.4. + +If you are interested in the precise reasoning (including examples) of the +pytest-2.3 fixture evolution, please consult +http://pytest.org/latest/funcarg_compare.html + +For general info on installation and getting started: + + http://pytest.org/latest/getting-started.html + +Docs and PDF access as usual at: + + http://pytest.org + +and more details for those already in the knowing of pytest can be found +in the CHANGELOG below. + +Particular thanks for this release go to Floris Bruynooghe, Alex Okrushko +Carl Meyer, Ronny Pfannschmidt, Benjamin Peterson and Alex Gaynor for helping +to get the new features right and well integrated. Ronny and Floris +also helped to fix a number of bugs and yet more people helped by +providing bug reports. + +have fun, +holger krekel + + +Changes between 2.2.4 and 2.3.0 +----------------------------------- + +- fix issue202 - better automatic names for parametrized test functions +- fix issue139 - introduce @pytest.fixture which allows direct scoping + and parametrization of funcarg factories.
