It has a simple plugin architecture and can run many +existing common Python test suites without modification. It offers +some unique features not found in other testing tools. +See http://pytest.org for more info. + +py.test 1.2.1 brings bug fixes and some new options and abilities triggered +by user feedback: + +* --funcargs [testpath] will show available builtin- and project funcargs. +* display a short and concise traceback if funcarg lookup fails. +* early-load "conftest.py" files in non-dot first-level sub directories. +* --tb=line will print a single line for each failing test (issue67) +* py.cleanup has a number of new options, cleanups up setup.py related files +* fix issue78: always call python-level teardown functions even if the + according setup failed. + +For more detailed information see the changelog below. + +cheers and have fun, + +holger + + +Changes between 1.2.1 and 1.2.0 +===================================== + +- refined usage and options for "py.cleanup":: + + py.cleanup # remove "*.pyc" and "*$py.class" (jython) files + py.cleanup -e .swp -e .cache # also remove files with these extensions + py.cleanup -s # remove "build" and "dist" directory next to setup.py files + py.cleanup -d # also remove empty directories + py.cleanup -a # synonym for "-s -d -e 'pip-log.txt'" + py.cleanup -n # dry run, only show what would be removed + +- add a new option "py.test --funcargs" which shows available funcargs + and their help strings (docstrings on their respective factory function) + for a given test path + +- display a short and concise traceback if a funcarg lookup fails + +- early-load "conftest.py" files in non-dot first-level sub directories. + allows to conveniently keep and access test-related options in a ``test`` + subdir and still add command line options. + +- fix issue67: new super-short traceback-printing option: "--tb=line" will print a single line for each failing (python) test indicating its filename, lineno and the failure value + +- fix issue78: always call python-level teardown functions even if the + according setup failed. This includes refinements for calling setup_module/class functions + which will now only be called once instead of the previous behaviour where they'd be called + multiple times if they raise an exception (including a Skipped exception). Any exception + will be re-corded and associated with all tests in the according module/class scope. + +- fix issue63: assume <40 columns to be a bogus terminal width, default to 80 + +- fix pdb debugging to be in the correct frame on raises-related errors + +- update apipkg.py to fix an issue where recursive imports might + unnecessarily break importing + +- fix plugin links |
