You can now ask tox which testenv ini parameters exist - with ``tox --help-ini``. - -- ENV isolation: only pass through very few environment variables from the - tox invocation to the test environments. This may break test runs that - previously worked with tox-1.9 -- you need to either use the - ``setenv`` or ``passenv`` ini variables to set appropriate environment - variables. - -- PLATFORM support: you can set ``platform=REGEX`` in your testenv sections - which lets tox skip the environment if the REGEX does not match ``sys.platform``. - -- tox now stops execution of test commands if the first of them fails unless - you set ``ignore_errors=True``. - -Thanks to Volodymyr Vitvitski, Daniel Hahler, Marc Abramowitz, Anthon van -der Neuth and others for contributions. - -More documentation about tox in general: - - http://tox.testrun.org/ - -Installation: - - pip install -U tox - -code hosting and issue tracking on bitbucket: - - https://bitbucket.org/hpk42/tox - -What is tox? ----------------- - -tox standardizes and automates tedious test activities driven from a -simple ``tox.ini`` file, including: - -* creation and management of different virtualenv environments - with different Python interpreters -* packaging and installing your package into each of them -* running your test tool of choice, be it nose, py.test or unittest2 or other tools such as "sphinx" doc checks -* testing dev packages against each other without needing to upload to PyPI - -best, -Holger Krekel, merlinux GmbH - -2.0.0 ------------ - -- (new) introduce environment variable isolation: - tox now only passes the PATH and PIP_INDEX_URL variable from the tox - invocation environment to the test environment and on Windows - also ``SYSTEMROOT``, ``PATHEXT``, ``TEMP`` and ``TMP`` whereas - on unix additionally ``TMPDIR`` is passed. If you need to pass - through further environment variables you can use the new ``passenv`` setting, - a space-separated list of environment variable names. Each name - can make use of fnmatch-style glob patterns. All environment - variables which exist in the tox-invocation environment will be copied - to the test environment. - -- a new ``--help-ini`` option shows all possible testenv settings and - their defaults. - -- (new) introduce a way to specify on which platform a testenvironment is to - execute: the new per-venv "platform" setting allows to specify - a regular expression which is matched against sys.platform. - If platform is set and doesn't match the platform spec in the test - environment the test environment is ignored, no setup or tests are attempted. - -- (new) add per-venv "ignore_errors" setting, which defaults to False. - If ``True``, a non-zero exit code from one command will be ignored and - further commands will be executed (which was the default behavior in tox < - 2.0). If ``False`` (the default), then a non-zero exit code from one command - will abort execution of commands for that environment. - -- show and store in json the version dependency information for each venv - -- remove the long-deprecated "distribute" option as it has no effect these days. - -- fix issue233: avoid hanging with tox-setuptools integration example. Thanks simonb. - -- fix issue120: allow substitution for the commands section. Thanks - Volodymyr Vitvitski. - -- fix issue235: fix AttributeError with --installpkg. Thanks - Volodymyr Vitvitski. - -- tox has now somewhat pep8 clean code, thanks to Volodymyr Vitvitski. - -- fix issue240: allow to specify empty argument list without it being - rewritten to ".". Thanks Daniel Hahler. - -- introduce experimental (not much documented yet) plugin system - based on pytest's externalized "pluggy" system. - See tox/hookspecs.py for the current hooks. - -- introduce parser.add_testenv_attribute() to register an ini-variable - for testenv sections. Can be used from plugins through the - tox_add_option hook. - -- rename internal files -- tox offers no external API except for the - experimental plugin hooks, use tox internals at your own risk. - -- DEPRECATE distshare in documentation |
