Nox
Flexible test automation with Python
-
Documentation: https://nox.readthedocs.io
-
Source Code: https://github.com/wntrblm/nox
Overview
nox is a command-line tool that automates testing in multiple Python environments, similar to tox. Unlike tox, Nox uses a standard Python file for configuration:
import nox
@nox.session
def tests(session: nox.Session) -> None:
session.install("pytest")
session.run("pytest")
@nox.session
def lint(session: nox.Session) -> None:
session.install("flake8")
session.run("flake8", "--import-order-style", "google")
Installation
Nox is designed to be installed globally (not in a project virtual environment), the recommended way of doing this is via pipx, a tool designed to install python CLI programs whilst keeping them separate from your global or system python.
To install Nox with pipx:
pipx install nox
You can also use pip in your global python:
python3 -m pip install nox
You may want to use the user-site to avoid messing with your Global python install:
python3 -m pip install --user nox
Usage
List all sessions
nox -l/--list
Get help on a particular session (if it has a docstring)
nox --usage test
Run all sessions
nox
Run a particular session
nox -s/--session test
