Pytest has joined @tidelift! Tidelift is a "managed open source subscription". If you use pytest at work, it's a way for your company to support the open source libraries it relies on. docs.pytest.org/en/latest/ti…

Check out @the_compiler presenting at #EuroPython2024, in their words: The #pytest tool presents a rapid and simple way to write tests for your Python code. This training gives an introduction with exercises to some distinguishing features.

#pytest trick: Want to patch a function returning a different value on every call, without full unittest.mock?
values = iter(["eggs", "bacon", "spam"])
monkeypatch.setattr(random, "choice", lambda: next(values))
assert random.choice() == "eggs"
assert random.choice() == "bacon"

Oh, looks like @jetbrains/@ThePSF sneakily released the #Python developers survey 2022 results at some point!
The first thing I look at is always how testing frameworks changed compared to the year before😅 #pytest up from 50% → 51%, "None" down from 38% → 35%. Yay!

Almost 3 years after #pytest-xvfb 2.0.0, I released v3.0.0 today! Other than packaging/formatting/typing/Python version updates, this release hopefully fixes a long-standing "XIO: fatal IO error 0 (Success)" issue, and adds support for using Xephyr/Xvnc. github.com/The-Compiler/pyte…

Blast from the past: My #pytest training from 7 years ago (mostly inherited by @hpk42) vs. now. Currently working on another big "rewrite", trying to introduce one big case study example (a small RPN calculator) instead of isolated examples for most of the code/exercises.
ALT Slide "scoping fixture functions" from a pytest training, in a design with black and blue gradients
ALT Updated slide "caching fixture results" with a graphic and a more modern design.
ALT Old slide "attributes on items and collectors" with almost no code
ALT Updated slide "pytest collection objects" with a picture of a collection tree and a modern design.

#pytest 7.3 was released just at the beginning of the easter weekend, it brings multiple enhancements around tmppath retention and output details, but beware we learned of a windows only perf regression thats now under investigation

My 3-day in-depth #pytest training (remote) will start in a week, and there are still spaces available! python-academy.com/courses/p…
I'm afraid my pytest training for #PyConDE was not accepted, and I won't make it to #PyConIT this year. Planning to propose it for #Europython though!

Update on my in-depth #pytest training with @pyacademy: We decided to go remote-only as we only had one on-site signup. March 7th to 9th, still spaces available! python-academy.com/courses/p…
My @PyConDE training is still in review, hoping to share more information there soon too!

Two weeks until early-bird pricing ends for my #pytest training with @pyacademy: March 7th to 9th 2023, both on-site in Leipzig 🇩🇪 *and* remote, three days full of knowledge from a pytest core maintainer! python-academy.com/courses/p…
I submitted a (shorter) training to @PyConDE too!

I'm happy to announce the release of #pytest 7.2.0
a special perk is dropping the dependency on pylib - the rest is in docs.pytest.org/en/stable/ch…

PSA: #pytest users can safely ignore CVE-2022-42969 / github.com/advisories/GHSA-w… in its py dep.
The reported DoS "vulnerability" is in pylib's 18 year old SVN handling (py.path.svn*), which is not used in pytest, nor anywhere else to our knowledge.
Details: github.com/pytest-dev/py/iss…
