This is a little demo I gave to show how tests can be rewritten in py.test and highlights some of the basic py.test features
Tests can be run using the following command:
$ py.test
To select a particular test by name:
$ py.test -k test_name
To select a particular test by path:
$ py.test path_to_test_file/test_file.py::TestClass::test_method
test_old.py contains two tests written using unittest syntax, while test_new.py contains the same tests rewritten using the Py.test syntax.
Tests can be marked using default or custom markers.
To run marked tests use:
$ py.test -m marker_name
To run all the test but the marked ones:
$ py.test -m 'not marker_name'
