Pytes

==================

- yielded test functions will now have autouse-fixtures active but
cannot accept fixtures as funcargs - it's anyway recommended to
rather use the post-2.0 parametrize features instead of yield, see:
http://pytest.org/latest/example/parametrize.html
- fix autouse-issue where autouse-fixtures would not be discovered
if defined in a a/conftest.py file and tests in a/tests/test_some.py
- fix issue226 - LIFO ordering for fixture teardowns
- fix issue224 - invocations with >256 char arguments now work
- fix issue91 - add/discuss package/directory level setups in example
- allow to dynamically define markers via
item.keywords[...]=assignment integrating with "-m" option
- make "-k" accept an expressions the same as with "-m" so that one
can write: -k "name1 or name2" etc. This is a slight incompatibility
if you used special syntax like "TestClass.test_method" which you now
need to write as -k "TestClass and test_method" to match a certain
method in a certain test class.

==================

- fix issue214 - parse modules that contain special objects like e. g.
flask's request object which blows up on getattr access if no request
is active. thanks Thomas Waldmann.

- fix issue213 - allow to parametrize with values like numpy arrays that
do not support an __eq__ operator

- fix issue215 - split test_python.org into multiple files

- fix issue148 - unittest.skip on classes is now recognized and avoids
calling setUpClass/tearDownClass, thanks Pavel Repin

- fix issue209 - reintroduce python2.4 support by depending on newer
pylib which re-introduced statement-finding for pre-AST interpreters

- nose support: only call setup if it's a callable, thanks Andrew
Taumoefolau

- fix issue219 - add py2.4-3.3 classifiers to TROVE list

- in tracebacks *,** arg values are now shown next to normal arguments
(thanks Manuel Jacob)

- fix issue217 - support mock.patch with pytest's fixtures - note that
you need either mock-1.0.1 or the python3.3 builtin unittest.mock.

- fix issue127 - improve documentation for pytest_addoption() and
add a ``config.getoption(name)`` helper function for consistency.

==================

- fix issue208 and fix issue29 use new py version to avoid long pauses
when printing tracebacks in long modules

- fix issue205 - conftests in subdirs customizing
pytest_pycollect_makemodule and pytest_pycollect_makeitem
now work properly

- fix teardown-ordering for parametrized setups

- fix issue127 - better documentation for pytest_addoption
and related objects.

- fix unittest behaviour: TestCase.runtest only called if there are
test methods defined

- improve trial support: don't collect its empty
unittest.TestCase.runTest() method

- "python setup.py test" now works with pytest itself

- fix/improve internal/packaging related bits:

- exception message check of test_nose.py now passes on python33 as well

- issue206 - fix test_assertrewrite.py to work when a global
PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1 is present

- add tox.ini to pytest distribution so that ignore-dirs and others config
bits are properly distributed for maintainers who run pytest-own tests

==================

- fix issue202 - fix regression: using "self" from fixture functions now
works as expected (it's the same "self" instance that a test method
which uses the fixture sees)

- skip pexpect using tests (test_pdb.py mostly) on freebsd* systems
due to pexpect not supporting it properly (hanging)

- link to web pages from --markers output which provides help for
pytest.mark.* usage.

==================

- fix issue202 - better automatic names for parametrized test functions
- fix issue139 - introduce pytest.fixture which allows direct scoping
and parametrization of funcarg factories.
- fix issue198 - conftest fixtures were not found on windows32 in some
circumstances with nested directory structures due to path manipulation issues
- fix issue193 skip test functions with were parametrized with empty
parameter sets
- fix python3.3 compat, mostly reporting bits that previously depended
on dict ordering
- introduce re-ordering of tests by resource and parametrization setup
which takes precedence to the usual file-ordering
- fix issue185 monkeypatching time.time does not cause pytest to fail
- fix issue172 duplicate call of pytest.fixture decoratored setup_module
functions
- fix junitxml=path construction so that if tests change the
current working directory and the path is a relative path
it is constructed correctly from the original current working dir.
- fix "python setup.py test" example to cause a proper "errno" return
- fix issue165 - fix broken doc links and mention stackoverflow for FAQ
- catch unicode-issues when writing failure representations
to terminal to prevent the whole session from crashing
- fix xfail/skip confusion: a skip-mark or an imperative pytest.skip
will now take precedence before xfail-markers because we
can't determine xfail/xpass status in case of a skip. see also:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11105828/in-py-test-when-i-explicitly-skip-a-test-that-is-marked-as-xfail-how-can-i-get

- always report installed 3rd party plugins in the header of a test run

- fix issue160: a failing setup of an xfail-marked tests should
be reported as xfail (not xpass)

- fix issue128: show captured output when capsys/capfd are used

- fix issue179: properly show the dependency chain of factories

- pluginmanager.register(...) now raises ValueError if the
plugin has been already registered or the name is taken

- fix issue159: improve http://pytest.org/latest/faq.html
especially with respect to the "magic" history, also mention
pytest-django, trial and unittest integration.

- make request.keywords and node.keywords writable. All descendant
collection nodes will see keyword values. Keywords are dictionaries
containing markers and other info.

- fix issue 178: xml binary escapes are now wrapped in py.xml.raw

- fix issue 176: correctly catch the builtin AssertionError
even when we replaced AssertionError with a subclass on the
python level

- factory discovery no longer fails with magic global callables
that provide no sane __code__ object (mock.call for example)

- fix issue 182: testdir.inprocess_run now considers passed plugins

- fix issue 188: ensure sys.exc_info is clear on python2
before calling into a test

- fix issue 191: add unittest TestCase runTest method support
- fix issue 156: monkeypatch correctly handles class level descriptors

- reporting refinements:

- pytest_report_header now receives a "startdir" so that
you can use startdir.bestrelpath(yourpath) to show
nice relative path

- allow plugins to implement both pytest_report_header and
pytest_sessionstart (sessionstart is invoked first).

- don't show deselected reason line if there is none

- py.test -vv will show all of assert comparisons instead of truncating

==================

- fix error message for rewritten assertions involving the % operator
- fix issue 126: correctly match all invalid xml characters for junitxml
binary escape
- fix issue with unittest: now unittest.expectedFailure markers should
be processed correctly (you can also use pytest.mark markers)
- document integration with the extended distribute/setuptools test commands
- fix issue 140: properly get the real functions
of bound classmethods for setup/teardown_class
- fix issue 141: switch from the deceased paste.pocoo.org to bpaste.net
- fix issue 143: call unconfigure/sessionfinish always when
configure/sessionstart where called
- fix issue 144: better mangle test ids to junitxml classnames
- upgrade distribute_setup.py to 0.6.27
