``tox-conda`` is a plugin that provides integration with the `conda
<https://conda.io>`_ package and environment manager for the `tox
<https://tox.readthedocs.io>`_ automation tool. It's like having your cake and
eating it, too!

By default, ``tox`` creates isolated environments using `virtualenv
<https://virtualenv.pypa.io>`_ and installs dependencies from ``pip``.

In contrast, when using the ``tox-conda`` plugin ``tox`` will use ``conda`` to create
environments, and will install specified dependencies from ``conda``. This is
useful for developers who rely on ``conda`` for environment management and
package distribution but want to take advantage of the features provided by
``tox`` for test automation.

Installation
------------

The ``tox-conda`` package is available on ``pypi``. To install, simply use the
following command:

::

$ pip install tox-conda

To install from source, first clone the project from `github
<https://github.com/tox-dev/tox-conda>`_:

::

$ git clone https://github.com/tox-dev/tox-conda

Then install it in your environment:

::

$ cd tox-conda
$ pip install .

To install in `development
mode <https://packaging.python.org/tutorials/distributing-packages/#working-in-development-mode>`__::

$ pip install -e .

The ``tox-conda`` plugin expects that ``tox`` and ``conda`` are already installed and
available in your working environment.

Usage
-----

Details on ``tox`` usage can be found in the `tox documentation
<https://tox.readthedocs.io>`_.

With the plugin installed and no other changes, the ``tox-conda`` plugin will use
``conda`` to create environments and use ``pip`` to install dependencies that are
given in the ``tox.ini`` configuration file.

``tox-conda`` adds two additional (and optional) settings to the ``[testenv]``
section of configuration files:

* ``conda_deps``, which is used to configure which dependencies are installed
from ``conda`` instead of from ``pip``. All dependencies in ``conda_deps`` are
installed before all dependencies in ``deps``. If not given, no dependencies
will be installed using ``conda``.

* ``conda_channels``, which specifies which channel(s) should be used for
resolving ``conda`` dependencies. If not given, only the ``default`` channel will
be used.

An example configuration file is given below:

::

[tox]
envlist =
{py35,py36,py37}-{stable,dev}

[testenv]
deps=
pytest-sugar
py35,py36: importlib_resources
dev: git+git://github.com/numpy/numpy
conda_deps=
pytest<=3.8
stable: numpy=1.15
conda_channels=
conda-forge
commands=
pytest {posargs}

More information on ``tox`` configuration files can be found in the
`documentation <https://tox.readthedocs.io/en/latest/config.html>`_.

Contributing
------------
Contributions are very welcome. Tests can be run with `tox`_, please ensure
the coverage at least stays the same before you submit a pull request.
