See +the improved extensive docs (now also as PDF!) with tested examples here: + + http://pytest.org/ + +The single biggest news about this release are **perfected assertions** +courtesy of Benjamin Peterson. You can now safely use ``assert`` +statements in test modules without having to worry about side effects +or python optimization ("-OO") options. This is achieved by rewriting +assert statements in test modules upon import, using a PEP302 hook. +See http://pytest.org/assert.html#advanced-assertion-introspection for +detailed information. The work has been partly sponsored by my company, +merlinux GmbH. + +For further details on bug fixes and smaller enhancements see below. + +If you want to install or upgrade pytest, just type one of:: + + pip install -U pytest # or + easy_install -U pytest + +best, +holger krekel / http://merlinux.eu + +Changes between 2.0.3 and 2.1.0 +---------------------------------------------- + +- fix issue53 call nosestyle setup functions with correct ordering +- fix issue58 and issue59: new assertion code fixes +- merge Benjamin's assertionrewrite branch: now assertions + for test modules on python 2.6 and above are done by rewriting + the AST and saving the pyc file before the test module is imported. + see doc/assert.txt for more info. +- fix issue43: improve doctests with better traceback reporting on + unexpected exceptions +- fix issue47: timing output in junitxml for test cases is now correct +- fix issue48: typo in MarkInfo repr leading to exception +- fix issue49: avoid confusing error when initialization partially fails +- fix issue44: env/username expansion for junitxml file path +- show releaselevel information in test runs for pypy +- reworked doc pages for better navigation and PDF generation +- report KeyboardInterrupt even if interrupted during session startup +- fix issue 35 - provide PDF doc version and download link from index page |
