pytest-overwatch is a Jest inspired interactive test runner plugin for pytest. It reruns tests whenever files change and allows you to select a subset of tests to run.
Work in progress!
- re-run tests on file change
- select subset of tests based on filename
- select subset of tests based on test name
- support dropping into debugger on test failure
pytest is my go-to test runner for python projects and I use it heavily at
work. I usually use the --looponfailure feature of the
pytest-xdist plugin on the side, however having worked quite some time
with Jest in the javascript world, I was missing two things:
- ability to rerun all the selected tests constantly - instead of just the failed ones - to discover potential new failures
- running a subset of all tests easily
