+py.test/pylib 1.3.2: API and reporting refinements, many fixes
+===========================================================================
+
+The pylib/py.test 1.3.2 release brings many bug fixes and some new
+features. It was refined for and tested against the recently released
+Python2.7 and remains compatibile to the usual armada of interpreters
+(Python2.4 through to Python3.1.2, Jython and PyPy). Note that for using
+distributed testing features you'll need to upgrade to the jointly released
+pytest-xdist-1.4 because of some internal refactorings.
+
+See http://pytest.org for general documentation and below for
+a detailed CHANGELOG.
+
+cheers & particular thanks to Benjamin Peterson, Ronny Pfannschmidt
+and all issue and patch contributors,
+
+holger krekel
+
+Changes between 1.3.1 and 1.3.2
+==================================================
+
+New features
+++++++++++++++++++
+
+- fix issue103: introduce py.test.raises as context manager, examples::
+
+ with py.test.raises(ZeroDivisionError):
+ x = 0
+ 1 / x
+
+ with py.test.raises(RuntimeError) as excinfo:
+ call_something()
+
+ # you may do extra checks on excinfo.value|type|traceback here
+
+ (thanks Ronny Pfannschmidt)
+
+- Funcarg factories can now dynamically apply a marker to a
+ test invocation. This is for example useful if a factory
+ provides parameters to a test which are expected-to-fail::
+
+ def pytest_funcarg__arg(request):
+ request.applymarker(py.test.mark.xfail(reason="flaky config"))
+ ...
+
+ def test_function(arg):
+ ...
+
+- improved error reporting on collection and import errors. This makes
+ use of a more general mechanism, namely that for custom test item/collect
+ nodes ``node.repr_failure(excinfo)`` is now uniformly called so that you can
+ override it to return a string error representation of your choice
+ which is going to be reported as a (red) string.
+
+- introduce '--junitprefix=STR' option to prepend a prefix
+ to all reports in the junitxml file.
+
+Bug fixes / Maintenance
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+- make tests and the ``pytest_recwarn`` plugin in particular fully compatible
+ to Python2.7 (if you use the ``recwarn`` funcarg warnings will be enabled so that
+ you can properly check for their existence in a cross-python manner).
+- refine --pdb: ignore xfailed tests, unify its TB-reporting and
+ don't display failures again at the end.
+- fix assertion interpretation with the ** operator (thanks Benjamin Peterson)
+- fix issue105 assignment on the same line as a failing assertion (thanks Benjamin Peterson)
+- fix issue104 proper escaping for test names in junitxml plugin (thanks anonymous)
+- fix issue57 -f|--looponfail to work with xpassing tests (thanks Ronny)
+- fix issue92 collectonly reporter and --pastebin (thanks Benjamin Peterson)
+- fix py.code.compile(source) to generate unique filenames
+- fix assertion re-interp problems on PyPy, by defering code
+ compilation to the (overridable) Frame.eval class. (thanks Amaury Forgeot)
+- fix py.path.local.pyimport() to work with directories
+- streamline py.path.local.mkdtemp implementation and usage
+- don't print empty lines when showing junitxml-filename
+- add optional boolean ignore_errors parameter to py.path.local.remove
+- fix terminal writing on win32/python2.4
+- py.process.cmdexec() now tries harder to return properly encoded unicode objects
+ on all python versions
+- install plain py.test/py.which scripts also for Jython, this helps to
+ get canonical script paths in virtualenv situations
+- make path.bestrelpath(path) return ".", note that when calling
+ X.bestrelpath the assumption is that X is a directory.
+- make initial conftest discovery ignore "--" prefixed arguments
+- fix resultlog plugin when used in an multicpu/multihost xdist situation
+ (thanks Jakub Gustak)
+- perform distributed testing related reporting in the xdist-plugin
+ rather than having dist-related code in the generic py.test
+ distribution
+- fix homedir detection on Windows
+- ship distribute_setup.py version 0.6.13
+
+Changes between 1.3.0 and 1.3.1
+==================================================
+
+New features
+++++++++++++++++++
+
+- issue91: introduce new py.test.xfail(reason) helper
+ to imperatively mark a test as expected to fail. Can
+ be used from within setup and test functions. This is
+ useful especially for parametrized tests when certain
+ configurations are expected-to-fail. In this case the
+ declarative approach with the @py.test.mark.xfail cannot
+ be used as it would mark all configurations as xfail.
+
+- issue102: introduce new --maxfail=NUM option to stop
+ test runs after NUM failures. This is a generalization
+ of the '-x' or '--exitfirst' option which is now equivalent
+ to '--maxfail=1'. Both '-x' and '--maxfail' will
+ now also print a line near the end indicating the Interruption.
+
+- issue89: allow py.test.mark decorators to be used on classes
+ (class decorators were introduced with python2.6) and
+ also allow to have multiple markers applied at class/module level
+ by specifying a list.
+
+- improve and refine letter reporting in the progress bar:
+ . pass
+ f failed test
+ s skipped tests (reminder: use for dependency/platform mismatch only)
+ x xfailed test (test that was expected to fail)
+ X xpassed test (test that was expected to fail but passed)
+
+ You can use any combination of 'fsxX' with the '-r' extended
+ reporting option. The xfail/xpass results will show up as
+ skipped tests in the junitxml output - which also fixes
+ issue99.
+
+- make py.test.cmdline.main() return the exitstatus instead of raising
+ SystemExit and also allow it to be called multiple times. This of
+ course requires that your application and tests are properly teared
+ down and don't have global state.
+
+Fixes / Maintenance
+++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+- improved traceback presentation:
+ - improved and unified reporting for "--tb=short" option
+ - Errors during test module imports are much shorter, (using --tb=short style)
+ - raises shows shorter more relevant tracebacks
+ - --fulltrace now more systematically makes traces longer / inhibits cutting
+
+- improve support for raises and other dynamically compiled code by
+ manipulating python's linecache.cache instead of the previous
+ rather hacky way of creating custom code objects. This makes
+ it seemlessly work on Jython and PyPy where it previously didn't.
+
+- fix issue96: make capturing more resilient against Control-C
+ interruptions (involved somewhat substantial refactoring
+ to the underlying capturing functionality to avoid race
+ conditions).
+
+- fix chaining of conditional skipif/xfail decorators - so it works now
+ as expected to use multiple @py.test.mark.skipif(condition) decorators,
+ including specific reporting which of the conditions lead to skipping.
+
+- fix issue95: late-import zlib so that it's not required
+ for general py.test startup.
+
+- fix issue94: make reporting more robust against bogus source code
+ (and internally be more careful when presenting unexpected byte sequences)
+
+
+Changes between 1.2.1 and 1.3.0
+==================================================
+
+- deprecate --report option in favour of a new shorter and easier to
+ remember -r option: it takes a string argument consisting of any
+ combination of 'xfsX' characters. They relate to the single chars
+ you see during the dotted progress printing and will print an extra line
+ per test at the end of the test run. This extra line indicates the exact
+ position or test ID that you directly paste to the py.test cmdline in order
+ to re-run a particular test.
+
+- allow external plugins to register new hooks via the new
+ pytest_addhooks(pluginmanager) hook. The new release of
+ the pytest-xdist plugin for distributed and looponfailing
+ testing requires this feature.
+
+- add a new pytest_ignore_collect(path, config) hook to allow projects and
+ plugins to define exclusion behaviour for their directory structure -
+ for example you may define in a conftest.py this method::
+
+ def pytest_ignore_collect(path):
+ return path.check(link=1)
+
+ to prevent even a collection try of any tests in symlinked dirs.
+
+- new pytest_pycollect_makemodule(path, parent) hook for
+ allowing customization of the Module collection object for a
+ matching test module.
+
+- extend and refine xfail mechanism:
+ ``@py.test.mark.xfail(run=False)`` do not run the decorated test
+ ``@py.test.mark.xfail(reason="...")`` prints the reason string in xfail summaries
+ specifiying ``--runxfail`` on command line virtually ignores xfail markers
+
+- expose (previously internal) commonly useful methods:
+ py.io.get_terminal_with() -> return terminal width
+ py.io.ansi_print(...) -> print colored/bold text on linux/win32
+ py.io.saferepr(obj) -> return limited representation string
+
+- expose test outcome related exceptions as py.test.skip.Exception,
+ py.test.raises.Exception etc., useful mostly for plugins
+ doing special outcome interpretation/tweaking
+
+- (issue85) fix junitxml plugin to handle tests with non-ascii output
+
+- fix/refine python3 compatibility (thanks Benjamin Peterson)
+
+- fixes for making the jython/win32 combination work, note however:
+ jython2.5.1/win32 does not provide a command line launcher, see
+ http://bugs.jython.org/issue1491 . See pylib install documentation
+ for how to work around.
+
+- fixes for handling of unicode exception values and unprintable objects
+
+- (issue87) fix unboundlocal error in assertionold code
+
+- (issue86) improve documentation for looponfailing
+
+- refine IO capturing: stdin-redirect pseudo-file now has a NOP close() method
+
+- ship distribute_setup.py version 0.6.10
+
+- added links to the new capturelog and coverage plugins
+
+
+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
+
+Changes between 1.2 and 1.1.1
+=====================================
+
+- moved dist/looponfailing from py.test core into a new
+ separately released pytest-xdist plugin.
+
+- new junitxml plugin: --junitxml=path will generate a junit style xml file
+ which is processable e.g. by the Hudson CI system.
+
+- new option: --genscript=path will generate a standalone py.test script
+ which will not need any libraries installed. thanks to Ralf Schmitt.
+
+- new option: --ignore will prevent specified path from collection.
+ Can be specified multiple times.
+
+- new option: --confcutdir=dir will make py.test only consider conftest
+ files that are relative to the specified dir.
+
+- new funcarg: "pytestconfig" is the pytest config object for access
+ to command line args and can now be easily used in a test.
+
+- install 'py.test' and `py.which` with a ``-$VERSION`` suffix to
+ disambiguate between Python3, python2.X, Jython and PyPy installed versions.
+
+- new "pytestconfig" funcarg allows access to test config object
+
+- new "pytest_report_header" hook can return additional lines
+ to be displayed at the header of a test run.
+
+- (experimental) allow "py.test path::name1::name2::..." for pointing
+ to a test within a test collection directly. This might eventually
+ evolve as a full substitute to "-k" specifications.
+
+- streamlined plugin loading: order is now as documented in
+ customize.html: setuptools, ENV, commandline, conftest.
+ also setuptools entry point names are turned to canonical namees ("pytest_*")
+
+- automatically skip tests that need 'capfd' but have no os.dup
+
+- allow pytest_generate_tests to be defined in classes as well
+
+- deprecate usage of 'disabled' attribute in favour of pytestmark
+- deprecate definition of Directory, Module, Class and Function nodes
+ in conftest.py files. Use pytest collect hooks instead.
+
+- collection/item node specific runtest/collect hooks are only called exactly
+ on matching conftest.py files, i.e. ones which are exactly below
+ the filesystem path of an item
+
+- change: the first pytest_collect_directory hook to return something
+ will now prevent further hooks to be called.
+
+- change: figleaf plugin now requires --figleaf to run. Also
+ change its long command line options to be a bit shorter (see py.test -h).
+
+- change: pytest doctest plugin is now enabled by default and has a
+ new option --doctest-glob to set a pattern for file matches.
+
+- change: remove internal py._* helper vars, only keep py._pydir
+
+- robustify capturing to survive if custom pytest_runtest_setup
+ code failed and prevented the capturing setup code from running.
+
+- make py.test.* helpers provided by default plugins visible early -
+ works transparently both for pydoc and for interactive sessions
+ which will regularly see e.g. py.test.mark and py.test.importorskip.
+
+- simplify internal plugin manager machinery
+- simplify internal collection tree by introducing a RootCollector node
+
+- fix assert reinterpreation that sees a call containing "keyword=..."
+
+- fix issue66: invoke pytest_sessionstart and pytest_sessionfinish
+ hooks on slaves during dist-testing, report module/session teardown
+ hooks correctly.
+
+- fix issue65: properly handle dist-testing if no
+ execnet/py lib installed remotely.
+
+- skip some install-tests if no execnet is available
+
+- fix docs, fix internal bin/ script generation
+
+
+Changes between 1.1.1 and 1.1.0
+=====================================
+
+- introduce automatic plugin registration via 'pytest11'
+ entrypoints via setuptools' pkg_resources.iter_entry_points
+
+- fix py.test dist-testing to work with execnet >= 1.0.0b4
+
+- re-introduce py.test.cmdline.main() for better backward compatibility
+
+- svn paths: fix a bug with path.check(versioned=True) for svn paths,
+ allow '%' in svn paths, make svnwc.update() default to interactive mode
+ like in 1.0.x and add svnwc.update(interactive=False) to inhibit interaction.
+
+- refine distributed tarball to contain test and no pyc files
+
+- try harder to have deprecation warnings for py.compat.* accesses
+ report a correct location
+
+Changes between 1.1.0 and 1.0.2
+=====================================
+
+* adjust and improve docs
+
+* remove py.rest tool and internal namespace - it was
+ never really advertised and can still be used with
+ the old release if needed. If there is interest
+ it could be revived into its own tool i guess.
+
+* fix issue48 and issue59: raise an Error if the module
+ from an imported test file does not seem to come from
+ the filepath - avoids "same-name" confusion that has
+ been reported repeatedly
+
+* merged Ronny's nose-compatibility hacks: now
+ nose-style setup_module() and setup() functions are
+ supported
+
+* introduce generalized py.test.mark function marking
+
+* reshuffle / refine command line grouping
+
+* deprecate parser.addgroup in favour of getgroup which creates option group
+
+* add --report command line option that allows to control showing of skipped/xfailed sections
+
+* generalized skipping: a new way to mark python functions with skipif or xfail
+ at function, class and modules level based on platform or sys-module attributes.
+
+* extend py.test.mark decorator to allow for positional args
+
+* introduce and test "py.cleanup -d" to remove empty directories

+ to ApiModule, cleanup initpkg
+
+* use MIT license for pylib, add some contributors
+
+* remove py.execnet code and substitute all usages with 'execnet' proper
+
+* fix issue50 - cached_setup now caches more to expectations
+ for test functions with multiple arguments.
+
+* merge Jarko's fixes, issue #45 and #46
+
+* add the ability to specify a path for py.lookup to search in
+
+* fix a funcarg cached_setup bug probably only occuring
+ in distributed testing and "module" scope with teardown.
+
+* many fixes and changes for making the code base python3 compatible,
+ many thanks to Benjamin Peterson for helping with this.
+
+* consolidate builtins implementation to be compatible with >=2.3,
+ add helpers to ease keeping 2 and 3k compatible code
+
+* deprecate py.compat.doctest|subprocess|textwrap|optparse
+
+* deprecate py.magic.autopath, remove py/magic directory
+
+* move pytest assertion handling to py/code and a pytest_assertion
+ plugin, add "--no-assert" option, deprecate py.magic namespaces
+ in favour of (less) py.code ones.
+
+* consolidate and cleanup py/code classes and files
+
+* cleanup py/misc, move tests to bin-for-dist
+
+* introduce delattr/delitem/delenv methods to py.test's monkeypatch funcarg
+
+* consolidate py.log implementation, remove old approach.
+
+* introduce py.io.TextIO and py.io.BytesIO for distinguishing between
+ text/unicode and byte-streams (uses underlying standard lib io.*
+ if available)
+
+* make py.unittest_convert helper script available which converts "unittest.py"
+ style files into the simpler assert/direct-test-classes py.test/nosetests
+ style. The script was written by Laura Creighton.
+
+* simplified internal localpath implementation
+
+Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.2
+=====================================
+
+* fixing packaging issues, triggered by fedora redhat packaging,
+ also added doc, examples and contrib dirs to the tarball.
+
+* added a documentation link to the new django plugin.
+
+Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.1
+=====================================
+
+* added a 'pytest_nose' plugin which handles nose.SkipTest,
+ nose-style function/method/generator setup/teardown and
+ tries to report functions correctly.
+
+* capturing of unicode writes or encoded strings to sys.stdout/err
+ work better, also terminalwriting was adapted and somewhat
+ unified between windows and linux.
+
+* improved documentation layout and content a lot
+
+* added a "--help-config" option to show conftest.py / ENV-var names for
+ all longopt cmdline options, and some special conftest.py variables.
+ renamed 'conf_capture' conftest setting to 'option_capture' accordingly.
+
+* fix issue #27: better reporting on non-collectable items given on commandline
+ (e.g. pyc files)
+
+* fix issue #33: added --version flag (thanks Benjamin Peterson)

+
+* simplified multicall mechanism and plugin architecture,
+ renamed some internal methods and argnames
+
+Changes between 1.0.0b9 and 1.0.0
+=====================================
+
+* more terse reporting try to show filesystem path relatively to current dir
+* improve xfail output a bit
+
+Changes between 1.0.0b8 and 1.0.0b9
+=====================================
+
+* cleanly handle and report final teardown of test setup
+
+* fix svn-1.6 compat issue with py.path.svnwc().versioned()
+ (thanks Wouter Vanden Hove)
+
+* setup/teardown or collection problems now show as ERRORs
+ or with big "E"'s in the progress lines. they are reported
+ and counted separately.
+
+* dist-testing: properly handle test items that get locally
+ collected but cannot be collected on the remote side - often
+ due to platform/dependency reasons
+
+* simplified py.test.mark API - see keyword plugin documentation
+
+* integrate better with logging: capturing now by default captures
+ test functions and their immediate setup/teardown in a single stream
+
+* capsys and capfd funcargs now have a readouterr() and a close() method
+ (underlyingly py.io.StdCapture/FD objects are used which grew a
+ readouterr() method as well to return snapshots of captured out/err)
+
+* make assert-reinterpretation work better with comparisons not
+ returning bools (reported with numpy from thanks maciej fijalkowski)
+
+* reworked per-test output capturing into the pytest_iocapture.py plugin
+ and thus removed capturing code from config object
+
+* item.repr_failure(excinfo) instead of item.repr_failure(excinfo, outerr)
+
+
+Changes between 1.0.0b7 and 1.0.0b8
+=====================================
+
+* pytest_unittest-plugin is now enabled by default
+
+* introduced pytest_keyboardinterrupt hook and
+ refined pytest_sessionfinish hooked, added tests.
+
+* workaround a buggy logging module interaction ("closing already closed
+ files"). Thanks to Sridhar Ratnakumar for triggering.
+
+* if plugins use "py.test.importorskip" for importing
+ a dependency only a warning will be issued instead
+ of exiting the testing process.
+
+* many improvements to docs:
+ - refined funcargs doc , use the term "factory" instead of "provider"
+ - added a new talk/tutorial doc page
+ - better download page
+ - better plugin docstrings
+ - added new plugins page and automatic doc generation script
+
+* fixed teardown problem related to partially failing funcarg setups
+ (thanks MrTopf for reporting), "pytest_runtest_teardown" is now
+ always invoked even if the "pytest_runtest_setup" failed.
+
+* tweaked doctest output for docstrings in py modules,
+ thanks Radomir.
+
+Changes between 1.0.0b3 and 1.0.0b7
+=============================================
+
+* renamed py.test.xfail back to py.test.mark.xfail to avoid
+ two ways to decorate for xfail
+
+* re-added py.test.mark decorator for setting keywords on functions
+ (it was actually documented so removing it was not nice)
+
+* remove scope-argument from request.addfinalizer() because
+ request.cached_setup has the scope arg. TOOWTDI.
+
+* perform setup finalization before reporting failures
+
+* apply modified patches from Andreas Kloeckner to allow
+ test functions to have no func_code (#22) and to make
+ "-k" and function keywords work (#20)
+
+* apply patch from Daniel Peolzleithner (issue #23)
+
+* resolve issue #18, multiprocessing.Manager() and
+ redirection clash
+
+* make __name__ == "__channelexec__" for remote_exec code
+
+Changes between 1.0.0b1 and 1.0.0b3
+=============================================
+
+* plugin classes are removed: one now defines
+ hooks directly in conftest.py or global pytest_*.py
+ files.
+
+* added new pytest_namespace(config) hook that allows
+ to inject helpers directly to the py.test.* namespace.
+
+* documented and refined many hooks
+
+* added new style of generative tests via
+ pytest_generate_tests hook that integrates
+ well with function arguments.
+
+
+Changes between 0.9.2 and 1.0.0b1
+=============================================
+
+* introduced new "funcarg" setup method,
+ see doc/test/funcarg.txt
+
+* introduced plugin architecuture and many
+ new py.test plugins, see
+ doc/test/plugins.txt
+
+* teardown_method is now guaranteed to get
+ called after a test method has run.
+
+* new method: py.test.importorskip(mod,minversion)
+ will either import or call py.test.skip()
+
+* completely revised internal py.test architecture
+
+* new py.process.ForkedFunc object allowing to
+ fork execution of a function to a sub process
+ and getting a result back.
+
+XXX lots of things missing here XXX
+
+Changes between 0.9.1 and 0.9.2
+===============================
+
+* refined installation and metadata, created new setup.py,
+ now based on setuptools/ez_setup (thanks to Ralf Schmitt
+ for his support).
+
+* improved the way of making py.* scripts available in
+ windows environments, they are now added to the
+ Scripts directory as ".cmd" files.
+
+* py.path.svnwc.status() now is more complete and
+ uses xml output from the 'svn' command if available
+ (Guido Wesdorp)
+
+* fix for py.path.svn* to work with svn 1.5
+ (Chris Lamb)
+
+* fix path.relto(otherpath) method on windows to
+ use normcase for checking if a path is relative.
+
+* py.test's traceback is better parseable from editors
+ (follows the filenames:LINENO: MSG convention)
+ (thanks to Osmo Salomaa)
+
+* fix to javascript-generation, "py.test --runbrowser"
+ should work more reliably now
+
+* removed previously accidentally added
+ py.test.broken and py.test.notimplemented helpers.
+
+* there now is a py.__version__ attribute
+
+Changes between 0.9.0 and 0.9.1
+===============================
+
+This is a fairly complete list of changes between 0.9 and 0.9.1, which can
+serve as a reference for developers.
+
+* allowing + signs in py.path.svn urls [39106]
