Prepend the class name to the default test name for test class methods. This fixes a potential name conflict, see #6_.
#7: Add a configuration switch to implicitly mark all tests.
#10: Add an option to ignore unknown dependencies.
Prepend the class name to the default test name for test class methods. This fixes a potential name conflict, see #6.
If your code uses test classes and you reference test methods by their default name, you must add the class name. E.g. if you have something like:
class TestClass(object):
@pytest.mark.dependency()
def test_a():
pass
@pytest.mark.dependency(depends=["test_a"])
def test_b():
passyou need to change this to:
class TestClass(object):
@pytest.mark.dependency()
def test_a():
pass
@pytest.mark.dependency(depends=["TestClass::test_a"])
def test_b():
passIf you override the test name in the pytest.mark.dependency marker, nothing need to be changed.
#11: show the name of the skipped test. (Thanks asteriogonzalez!)
#13: Do not import pytest in setup.py to make it compatible with pipenv.
#15: tests fail with pytest 3.3.0.
#8: document incompatibility with parallelization in pytest-xdist.
Clarify in the documentation that Python 3.1 is not officially supported because pytest 2.8 does not support it. There is no known issue with Python 3.1 though.
