How to migrate to pytest
- Remove 'pytest-runner' from your 'setup_requires', preferably removing the
setup_requiresoption. - Remove 'pytest' and any other testing requirements from 'tests_require', preferably removing the
setup_requiresoption. - Use a requirement-test.txt file to hold test dependencies
- Invoke tests with
pytest - Another good option is to configure a
tox.ininext to yoursetup.cfg. https://tox.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
Feedback
Benefit to Fedora
The security benefits mostly do not apply to us, as we install dependencies from RPM packages. But preventing additional packages from depending on a package with a dead upstream that might increasingly become incompatible with newer setuptools releases would avoid us accumulating tech debt and having to deal with potential test runner failures in the future.
Scope
- Proposal owners:
- Mark
python-pytest-runnerrawhide - Send PRs to affected packages to remove dependencies on this package
- Mark
- Other developers:
- If your package depends on {{package|python-pytest-runner}, adjust it to drop the dependency
- Release engineering: no impact anticipated
- Policies and guidelines: N/A (not needed for this Change)
- Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change)
- Alignment with the Fedora Strategy: N/A
Upgrade/compatibility impact
N/A. This just deprecates the package, and stops it from being used in new dependencies.

Do you require 'QA Blueprint' support? N
