cot-assert
Assertion rewriting that raises a structured AnnotatedAssertion, for Python
2.7, Python 3.9+ and RPython. Intended as a drop-in replacement for pytest's
assertion rewriting on current pytest and on pytest 4.6.
Pre-alpha.
pip install cot-assert
One universal wheel serves Python 2.7 (pip 20 and later, CPython or PyPy) and Python 3.9 and later. It has no dependencies.
With pytest
Installing the package registers a pytest plugin that stays off until enabled:
[pytest]
cot_assert = true
# where a failed assert's explanation goes: message (default) or notes
cot_assert_finalize = message
or pytest --cot-assert. On Python 2.7, where it runs from source, load it
with -p cot_assert.pytest_plugin.
pytest still decides which modules are rewritten (test files, conftests,
pytest.register_assert_rewrite) and caches them under a separate name;
cot_assert does the rewriting, and failures render through pytest's own
comparison hooks. Failures show as AnnotatedAssertion instead of
AssertionError. --assert=plain turns rewriting off for both.
Without pytest
import cot_assert
cot_assert.install(["mypackage", "test_*"])
rewrites modules imported afterwards whose name matches.
