tox 1.0: the rapid multi-python test automatizer¶
I am happy to announce tox 1.0, mostly a stabilization and streamlined
release. TOX 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
Docs and examples are at:
Installation:
pip install -U tox
Note that code hosting and issue tracking has moved from Google to Bitbucket:
The 1.0 release includes contributions and is based on feedback and work from Chris Rose, Ronny Pfannschmidt, Jannis Leidel, Jakob Kaplan-Moss, Sridhar Ratnakumar, Carl Meyer and others. Many thanks!
best, Holger Krekel
CHANGES¶
- fix issue24: introduce a way to set environment variables for for test commands (thanks Chris Rose)
- fix issue22: require virtualenv-1.6.1, obsoleting virtualenv5 (thanks Jannis Leidel) and making things work with pypy-1.5 and python3 more seemlessly
- toxbootstrap.py (used by jenkins build slaves) now follows the latest release of virtualenv
- fix issue20: document format of URLs for specifying dependencies
- fix issue19: substitute Hudson for Jenkins everywhere following the renaming of the project. NOTE: if you used the special [tox:hudson] section it will now need to be named [tox:jenkins].
- fix issue 23 / apply some ReST fixes
- change the positional argument specifier to use {posargs:} syntax and fix issues #15 and #10 by refining the argument parsing method (Chris Rose)
- remove use of inipkg lazy importing logic - the namespace/imports are anyway very small with tox.
- fix a fspath related assertion to work with debian installs which uses symlinks
- show path of the underlying virtualenv invocation and bootstrap virtualenv.py into a working subdir
- added a CONTRIBUTORS file
