Description Orion Poplawski 2016-11-30 18:05:55 UTC
Description of problem:

I'd like to upgrade pytest in EPEL6 if possible.

Looks like we can update to 2.4.2 pretty easily with:

diff --git a/pytest.spec b/pytest.spec
index 4ec3b3a..5ce8885 100644
--- a/pytest.spec
+++ b/pytest.spec
@@ -30,6 +30,10 @@ BuildRequires:  python-sphinx

+Requires:       python-argparse
+%endif
 %if 0%{?with_python3}

After that we would need to update python-py as well.  Not sure how easy that would be.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.3.5-3.el6

Comment 1 Thomas Moschny 2016-12-05 23:05:41 UTC
pytest 2.4 introduced some incompatibilities, see http://doc.pytest.org/en/latest/changelog.html#id144. Why do you want to update the package?

Comment 2 Orion Poplawski 2016-12-06 02:42:03 UTC
I ran into a package that didn't discover any tests with 2.3.5, but worked fine with 2.4.2.  If there are too many incompatible changes obviously it won't work to upgrade.

known incompatibilities:

*  if calling –genscript from python2.7 or above, you only get a standalone script which works on python2.7 or above. Use Python2.6 to also get a python2.5 compatible version.

-> This doesn't appear to be applicable here.

*  all xunit-style teardown methods (nose-style, pytest-style, unittest-style) will not be called if the corresponding setup method failed, see issue322 below.

-> I don't quite follow this, but seems mainly to address side effects on test setup failing.

*  the pytest_plugin_unregister hook wasn’t ever properly called and there is no known implementation of the hook - so it got removed.

-> This might require patching out of calls to pytest_plugin_unregister.

*  pytest.fixture-decorated functions cannot be generators (i.e. use yield) anymore. This change might be reversed in 2.4.1 if it causes unforeseen real-life issues. However, you can always write and return an inner function/generator and change the fixture consumer to iterate over the returned generator. This change was done in lieu of the new pytest.yield_fixture decorator, see below.

-> This looks like probably the biggest issue.
