pytest-jobserver 0.1.1

Parellise tests with posix jobserver.

pytest-jobserver

Parellise tests with posix jobserver.

Installation

Install with pip:

pip install pytest-jobserver

The plugin officially supports Python >= 3.6 on a Linux OS. You may find other Python 3 versions/MacOS work as well.

Usage

The plugin uses a POSIX jobserver to manage parallel test loading.

Pass the --jobserver argument with a path, where this path points to a named pipe acting as a Jobserver. You should probably also use pytest-xdist to enable parallelism in the first place:

pytest -n4 --jobserver /opt/jobserver

Implementation

This plugin wraps pytest's call to pytest_runtest_protocol, which is called to actually run a collected item on the worker node.
