Documentation:

  • add more examples (bzt/Taurus and performance tests using pytest-play)

2.2.0 (2019-03-01)

  • statsd integration (optional requirement) for advanced test metrics using statsd/graphite. If you install pytest play with the optional statsd support with pytest-play[statsd] you will get the additional dependency statsd client and you can use the same cli options defined by the pytest-statsd plugin (e.g., --stats-d [--stats-prefix myproject --stats-host http://myserver.com --stats-port 3000]).

    Note well: despite the above cli options are the same defined by the pytest-statsd plugin, at this time of writing pytest-statsd is not a pytest-play dependency so you won’t get stats about number of failures, passing, etc but only stats tracked by pytest-play. If you need them you can install pytest-statsd (it plays well with pytest-play)

2.1.0 (2019-02-22)

Features:

  • support junit xml generation file with system-out element for each test case execution (pytest --junit-xml option). system-out will tracked by default in junit report unless you use the --capture=no or its alias -s

  • track _elapsed time for each executed command --junit-xml report if system-out is enabled

  • track pytest custom properties in --junit-xml report for monitoring and measure what is important to you. For example you can track as key metric the time of the time occurred between the end of the previous action and the completion of the following. Basically you can track under the property_name load_login key the time occurred between the click on the submit button and the end of the current command (e.g., click on the menu or text input being able to receive text) using a machine interpretable format.

    The property_name value elapsed time will be available as standard pytest-play variable so that you can make additional assertions

  • after every command execution a pytest-play variable will be added/updated reporting the elapsed time (accessible using variables['_elapsed']).

    So be aware that the _elapsed variable name should be considered as a special variable and so you should not use this name for storing variables

  • improve debug in case of failed assertions or errored commands. Logged variables dump in standard logs and system-out reporting if available

  • improve debuggability in case of assertion errors (log failing expression)

  • added a new metrics provider that let you track custom metrics in conjunction with --junit-xml option. You can track in a machine readable format response times, dynamic custom expressions, time that occurs between different commands (e.g., measure the time needed after a login to interact with the page, time before an asynchronous update happens and so on). Under the metrics provider you’ll find the record_property, record_elapsed, record_elapsed_start and record_elapsed_stop commands

Documentation:

  • minor documentation changes
  • add more examples

2.0.2 (2019-02-06)

Documentation:

  • more examples
  • fix documentation bug on README (example based on selenium with missing provider: selenium)

2.0.1 (2019-01-30)

Documentation:

  • Mention davidemoro/pytest-play docker container in README. You can use pytest-play with a docker command like that now docker run -i --rm -v $(pwd):/src davidemoro/pytest-play

Bugfix:

  • Fix error locking pipenv due to pytest-play requirement constraint not existing (RestrictedPython>=4.0.b2 -> RestrictedPython>=4.0b2)

2.0.0 (2019-01-25)

Breaking changes:

  • Renamed fixture from play_json to play (#5)
  • Drop json support, adopt yaml only format for scenarios (#5)
  • Drop .ini file for metadata, if you need them you can add a YAML document on top of the scenario .yml file. You no more need multiple files for decorating your scenarios now (#65)
  • play.execute no more accepts raw data string), consumes a list of commands. Introduced play.execute_raw accepting raw data string.
  • play.execute_command accepts a Python dictionary only now (not a string)
  • Selenium provider removed from pytest-play core, implemented on a separate package play_selenium. Starting from now you have to add to your selenium commands provider: selenium
  • engine’s parametrizer_class attribute no more available ( use parametrizer.Parametrizer by default now)

Bug fix:

  • Fix invalid markup on PyPI (#55)
  • Fix invalid escape sequences (#62).

Documentation and trivial changes:

  • Add examples folder

1.4.2 (2018-05-17)

  • Configuration change on Github. Use the same branching policy adopted by pytest (master becomes main branch, see #56)
  • Fixed skipped test and added new tests (deselect scenarios with keyword and marker expressions)
  • Fix #58: you no more get a TypeError if you try to launch pytest-play in autodiscovery mode
  • Fix #55: restructured text lint on README.rst (bad visualization on pypi)
  • Updated README (articles and talks links)
  • Added a DeprecationWarning for play_json fixture. pytest-play will be based on yaml instead of json in version >=2.0.0. See https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-play/issues/5

1.4.1 (2018-04-06)

  • Documentation improvements
  • Add bzt/Taurus/BlazeMeter compatibility

1.4.0 (2018-04-05)

  • Small documentation improvements

  • Now test_XXX.json files are automatically collected and executed

  • You can run a test scenario using the pytest CLI pytest test_YYY.json

  • Introduced json test scenario ini file with markers definition. For a given test_YYY.json scenario you can add a test_YYY.ini ini file:

    [pytest]
markers =
    marker1
    marker2

    and filter scenarios using marker expressions pytest -m marker1

  • Enabled parametrization of arguments for a plain json scenario in scenario ini file:

    [pytest]
test_data =
   {"username": "foo"}
   {"username": "bar"}

    and your json scenario will be executed twice

  • pytest-play loads some variables based on the contents of the optional pytest-play section in your pytest-variables file now. So if your variables file contains the following values:

    pytest-play:
  foo: bar
  date_format: YYYYMMDD

    you will be able to use expressions $foo, $date_format, variables['foo'] or variables['date_format']

1.3.2 (2018-02-05)

  • Add sorted in python expressions

1.3.1 (2018-01-31)

  • Add more tests
  • Documentation update
  • play_json fixture no more assumes that you have some pytest-variables settings. No more mandatory
  • fix include scenario bug that occurs only on Windows (slash vs backslash and JSON decoding issues)

1.3.0 (2018-01-22)

  • documentation improvements
  • supports teardown callbacks

1.2.0 (2018-01-22)

  • implement python based commands in pytest-play and deprecates play_python. So this feature is a drop-in replacement for the play-python plugin.

    You should no more install play_python since now.

  • update documentation

  • deprecate selenium commands (they will be implemented on a separate plugin and dropped in pytest-play >= 2.0.0). All your previous scripts will work fine, this warning is just for people directly importing the provider for some reason.

  • implement skip conditions. You can omit the execution of any command evaluating a Python based skip condition

1.1.0 (2018-01-16)

  • Documentation updated (add new pytest play plugins)
  • Support default payloads for command providers. Useful for HTTP authentication headers, common database settings

1.0.0 (2018-01-10)

  • execute command accepts kwargs now
  • execute command returns the command value now
  • complete refactor of include provider (no backwards compatibility)
  • add play_json.get_file_contents and removed data_getter fixture (no backwards compatibility)

0.3.1 (2018-01-04)

  • play engine now logs commands to be executed and errors

0.3.0 (2018-01-04)

  • you are able to update variables when executing commands
  • you can extend pytest-play with new pluggable commands coming from third party packages thanks to setuptools entrypoints

0.2.0 (2018-01-02)

  • no more open browser by default pytest-play is a generic test engine and it could be used for non UI tests too.

    So there is no need to open the browser for non UI tests (eg: API tests)

0.1.0 (2017-12-22)

  • implement reusable steps (include scenario)
  • minor documentation changes

0.0.1 (2017-12-20)

  • First release
