Pytes

=====

- fix issue64 / pytest.set_trace now works within pytest_generate_tests hooks
- fix issue60 / fix error conditions involving the creation of __pycache__
- fix issue63 / assertion rewriting on inserts involving strings containing '%'
- fix assertion rewriting on calls with a ** arg

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

- 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 issue49: avoid confusing error when initizaliation 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

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

- fix issue38: nicer tracebacks on calls to hooks, particularly early
configure/sessionstart ones

- fix missing skip reason/meta information in junitxml files, reported
via http://lists.idyll.org/pipermail/testing-in-python/2011-March/003928.html

- fix issue34: avoid collection failure with "test" prefixed classes
deriving from object.

- don't require zlib (and other libs) for genscript plugin without
--genscript actually being used.

- speed up skips (by not doing a full traceback representation
internally)

- fix issue37: avoid invalid characters in junitxml's output

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

- tackle issue32 - speed up test runs of very quick test functions
by reducing the relative overhead

- fix issue30 - extended xfail/skipif handling and improved reporting.
If you have a syntax error in your skip/xfail
expressions you now get nice error reports.

Also you can now access module globals from xfail/skipif
expressions so that this for example works now::

import pytest
import mymodule
pytest.mark.skipif("mymodule.__version__[0] == "1")
def test_function():
pass

This will not run the test function if the module's version string
does not start with a "1". Note that specifying a string instead
of a boolean expressions allows py.test to report meaningful information
when summarizing a test run as to what conditions lead to skipping
(or xfail-ing) tests.

- fix issue28 - setup_method and pytest_generate_tests work together
The setup_method fixture method now gets called also for
test function invocations generated from the pytest_generate_tests
hook.

- fix issue27 - collectonly and keyword-selection (-k) now work together
Also, if you do "py.test --collectonly -q" you now get a flat list
of test ids that you can use to paste to the py.test commandline
in order to execute a particular test.

- fix issue25 avoid reported problems with --pdb and python3.2/encodings output

- fix issue23 - tmpdir argument now works on Python3.2 and WindowsXP
Starting with Python3.2 os.symlink may be supported. By requiring
a newer py lib version the py.path.local() implementation acknowledges
this.

- fixed typos in the docs (thanks Victor Garcia, Brianna Laugher) and particular
thanks to Laura Creighton who also reviewed parts of the documentation.

- fix slightly wrong output of verbose progress reporting for classes
(thanks Amaury)

- more precise (avoiding of) deprecation warnings for node.Class|Function accesses

- avoid std unittest assertion helper code in tracebacks (thanks Ronny)

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

- refine and unify initial capturing so that it works nicely
even if the logging module is used on an early-loaded conftest.py
file or plugin.
- allow to omit "()" in test ids to allow for uniform test ids
as produced by Alfredo's nice pytest.vim plugin.
- fix issue12 - show plugin versions with "--version" and
"--traceconfig" and also document how to add extra information
to reporting test header
- fix issue17 (import-* reporting issue on python3) by
requiring py>1.4.0 (1.4.1 is going to include it)
- fix issue10 (numpy arrays truth checking) by refining
assertion interpretation in py lib
- fix issue15: make nose compatibility tests compatible
with python3 (now that nose-1.0 supports python3)
- remove somewhat surprising "same-conftest" detection because
it ignores conftest.py when they appear in several subdirs.
- improve assertions ("not in"), thanks Floris Bruynooghe
- improve behaviour/warnings when running on top of "python -OO"
(assertions and docstrings are turned off, leading to potential
false positives)
- introduce a pytest_cmdline_processargs(args) hook
to allow dynamic computation of command line arguments.
This fixes a regression because py.test prior to 2.0
allowed to set command line options from conftest.py
files which so far pytest-2.0 only allowed from ini-files now.
- fix issue7: assert failures in doctest modules.
unexpected failures in doctests will not generally
show nicer, i.e. within the doctest failing context.
- fix issue9: setup/teardown functions for an xfail-marked
test will report as xfail if they fail but report as normally
passing (not xpassing) if they succeed. This only is true
for "direct" setup/teardown invocations because teardown_class/
teardown_module cannot closely relate to a single test.
- fix issue14: no logging errors at process exit
- refinements to "collecting" output on non-ttys
- refine internal plugin registration and --traceconfig output
- introduce a mechanism to prevent/unregister plugins from the
command line, see http://pytest.org/plugins.htmlcmdunregister
- activate resultlog plugin by default
- fix regression wrt yielded tests which due to the
collection-before-running semantics were not
setup as with pytest 1.3.4. Note, however, that
the recommended and much cleaner way to do test
parametraization remains the "pytest_generate_tests"
mechanism, see the docs.

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

- pytest-2.0 is now its own package and depends on pylib-2.0
- new ability: python -m pytest / python -m pytest.main ability
- new python invocation: pytest.main(args, plugins) to load
some custom plugins early.
- try harder to run unittest test suites in a more compatible manner
by deferring setup/teardown semantics to the unittest package.
also work harder to run twisted/trial and Django tests which
should now basically work by default.
- introduce a new way to set config options via ini-style files,
by default setup.cfg and tox.ini files are searched. The old
ways (certain environment variables, dynamic conftest.py reading
is removed).
- add a new "-q" option which decreases verbosity and prints a more
nose/unittest-style "dot" output.
- fix issue135 - marks now work with unittest test cases as well
- fix issue126 - introduce py.test.set_trace() to trace execution via
PDB during the running of tests even if capturing is ongoing.
- fix issue123 - new "python -m py.test" invocation for py.test
(requires Python 2.5 or above)
- fix issue124 - make reporting more resilient against tests opening
files on filedescriptor 1 (stdout).
- fix issue109 - sibling conftest.py files will not be loaded.
(and Directory collectors cannot be customized anymore from a Directory's
conftest.py - this needs to happen at least one level up).
- introduce (customizable) assertion failure representations and enhance
output on assertion failures for comparisons and other cases (Floris Bruynooghe)
- nose-plugin: pass through type-signature failures in setup/teardown
functions instead of not calling them (Ed Singleton)
- remove py.test.collect.Directory (follows from a major refactoring
and simplification of the collection process)
- majorly reduce py.test core code, shift function/python testing to own plugin
- fix issue88 (finding custom test nodes from command line arg)
- refine 'tmpdir' creation, will now create basenames better associated
with test names (thanks Ronny)
- "xpass" (unexpected pass) tests don't cause exitcode!=0
- fix issue131 / issue60 - importing doctests in __init__ files used as namespace packages
- fix issue93 stdout/stderr is captured while importing conftest.py
- fix bug: unittest collected functions now also can have "pytestmark"
applied at class/module level
- add ability to use "class" level for cached_setup helper
- fix strangeness: mark.* objects are now immutable, create new instances
