pytest-datatest 0.1.2

A pytest plugin for test driven data-wrangling (this is the development version of datatest's pytest integration).

The development version of datatest’s pytest integration.

Typically, only developers working on datatest’s pytest plugin should install this package. Other users are encouraged to install just datatest—this plugin comes bundled with it.

Requirements

• pytest (3.3 or newer)

• datatest (0.9.0 or newer)

Installation

For Developers

Clone the git repositories and use pip to perform an editable install from the cloned project directory:

git clone [e-mail]:shawnbrown/datatest.git
git clone [e-mail]:shawnbrown/pytest-datatest.git
pip install --editable ./datatest
pip install --no-deps --editable ./pytest-datatest

For Users

Don’t install this package—install datatest instead:

pip install datatest

For Users With Special Requirements

If you aren’t a datatest or plugin developer but instead need bug-fixes or features that are not yet available from the main datatest project, you can install “pytest-datatest” via pip from PyPI:

pip install datatest
pip install pytest-datatest

And if the version is PyPI isn’t new enough for your needs, you can install the plugin directly from the live GitHub repository (make sure to check that the build is “passing” before doing this):

pip install datatest
pip install --upgrade https://github.com/shawnbrown/pytest-datatest/archive/master.zip

Usage

When installed, this development version automatically overrides datatest’s bundled pytest integration. If you want to revert back to the bundled plugin, simply uninstall this version.

To disable the development version (and temporarily enable the bundled version) use:

pytest -p no:datatest_devel

To disable both the development and bundled versions use:

pytest -p no:datatest_devel -p no:datatest

Features

• Provides a ‘mandatory’ marker to support incremental testing.

• Provides an ‘–ignore-mandatory’ command line option to override the default ‘mandatory’ behavior.

• Strips the leading “E “ prefix from ValidationError differences to help users more easily repurpose parts of the error message for allowed.specific(...) definitions.
