pytest-sherlock 0.2.2

pytest plugin help to find coupled tests

pytest-sherlock

Pytest plugin which help to find coupled tests.

Sometimes we have coupled tests which depend from ordering

For example:

• PASSES tests/exmaple/test_all_read.py tests/exmaple/test_b_modify.py tests/exmaple/test_c_delete.py
• FAILED tests/exmaple/test_c_delete.py tests/exmaple/test_b_modify.py tests/exmaple/test_all_read.py

In this case pretty simple to detect coupled tests, but if we have >=1k tests which called before it will hard

Content:

• install
• how to use
• waiting in the future

Install

pip install pytest-sherlock

how to use:

pytest tests/exmaple/test_c_delete.py tests/exmaple/test_b_modify.py tests/exmaple/test_all_read.py --flaky-test="test_read_params" -vv

Plugin didn't run all tests, it try to find some possible guilty test and will run first

Try to find coupled tests in [3-4] steps

TODO

I have a couple ideas, how to improve finder coupled tests:

• use AST for detect common peace of code (variables, functions, etc...)
