New issue 479: Race condition on SkipTest checks https://bitbucket.org/hpk42/pytest/issue/479/race-condition-on-skiptest-checks
Marc Schlaich: There is a race condition in checking SkipTest: If the module with SkipTest (unittest or nose) was not imported before and a test module is raising SkipTest on module level, the whole thing blows up. Example: test_x.py (and nothing else in cwd). ``` #!python import unittest raise unittest.SkipTest ``` Results in ``` $ py.test ============================= test session starts ============================= platform win32 -- Python 2.7.5 -- py-1.4.20 -- pytest-2.5.2 plugins: cov collected 0 items / 1 errors =================================== ERRORS ==================================== _________________________ ERROR collecting test_x.py __________________________ test_x.py:2: in <module> > raise unittest.SkipTest E SkipTest =========================== 1 error in 0.04 seconds =========================== ``` _______________________________________________ pytest-commit mailing list pytest-commit@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pytest-commit
