Project description

pytest-isolate

Python package

PyPI - Version PyPI - Python Version

Isolate each test in a subprocess - pytest forked replacement, based on pytest-forked.

This pytest plugin was generated with Cookiecutter along with @hackebrot's cookiecutter-pytest-plugin template.

Features

  • Run each test in an forked, isolated subprocess
  • Captures stdout & stderr of crashing processes
  • Add Timeout to a forked test
  • Limit memory used by test
  • Plays nice with pytest-xdist
  • Shows warnings, even with xdist!

Requirements

  • pytest

Installation

You can install "pytest-isolate" via pip from PyPI

pip install pytest-isolate

Usage

pytest --isolate

To run every test in its own forked subprocess.

Or:

pytest --isolate-timeout 10 --isolate-mem-limit 1000000

To set a timeout to every test in addition to forking.

Note:

Since this plugin uses fork, it will not work on operating systems without fork support (e.g. Windows).

The flags --timeout or --forked will also be respected such that pytest-isolate is a drop-in replacement forked pytest forked and pytest timeout.

If pytest-forked or pytest-timeout are installed, then they will take precedence. Uninstall them to use pytest-isolate.

Unlike pytest-timeout, timeout in pytest-isolate is implemented by forking the test to a separate subprocess, and setting timeout for that subprocess.

You can also use a mark to isolate or time limit the memory test:

@pytest.mark.isolate(timeout=10,mem_limit=10**6)
def test_something():
    pass

The options can also be set in an pytest configuration file, e.g:

[tool.pytest.ini_options]
isolate_timeout=10
isolate_mem_limit=1000000
