pytest-param-scope

https://pypi.org/project/pytest-param-scope/

New pytest plugin to allow setup (and optional teardown) around a set of test cases created with parametrized tests.

brianokken, 7 months ago to random

I'm working on a pytest plugin to provide setup/teardown to go around the parametrization set.

I was thinking of naming it pytest-param-setup

Any better ideas?

Do you think you should write more automated tests?
If so, why do you think that? What are your barriers to doing so? What would enough look like?
If not, what gives you that confidence?

I’d like to explore this topic more, so any RTs appreciated.

Conferences should pay travel and lodging for speakers, unless speaker opts out.
Current model of requiring speakers to apply for travel grant is backwards.

Slack alternatives.
So far I’ve heard Discord and Discourse as good choices.

Anyone tried using GitHub discussions?

Working on a big pytest course. I’m so excited to announce it. I don’t think I can wait till it’s done. So I’ll probably beta release it at a discount next week.

Are you seeing "AttributeError: ...ImpImporter ..." when trying to test with tox and Python 3.12?

If so, try:

• Creating your development venv with Python 3.11
• Adding download = true to your tox.ini configurations, at least for the 3.12 one.

Now that the pytest course is complete, I’ve got some time to work on an Atari Lego kit I received ad a XMas gift.

I started recording the tox/CI chapter last night. Wow, my use of tox has changed significantly from how I used it a couple of years ago.

Are people still using slack?
This isn’t facetious. I want to have place to allow people to ask and answer questions for the upcoming pytest course. I’m wondering if slack is fine or if there is a better choice.

Figures. Absolutely first thing I try with @charliermarsh and Astral’s uv is uv venv --prompt ..
Doh! --prompt not supported. (Hopefully just not supported yet).
I swear, I should have been a test engineer.

Recorded ch7 this evening, "test strategy". More in depth than I thought it was going to be. I know, it shouldn't have been a surprise for me.

Should be able to edit this weekend and release it by Monday. #pytest course

A troublemaker in the office today. In the first he’s on the paper bins trying to jump to the flamingo chair. He knocked off the rocket.

I know, it’s just lasagna. But this delicious eggplant & zucchini lasagna, along with a Caesar salad, took me all frigging night to make.

We spread garden compost last year, and now these little guys are growing all over the garden. So cute. Anyone know what variety they are?
