Hi All, A transcript from a conversation about considering porting django TestCase's to pytest:
"Some counterpoints: - Tomorrow `some_other_test` will be the guideline and pytest will be passe - Why add a new dependency when you have something built in, _if it's good enough_ But all that is just conversation, the real issue i'm having is: Now we have 2 ways of doing something in the project consistency is my #1 goal or requirement in a project Makes the codebase so much easier to maintain and learn (edited) I'm trying to grok if pytest gives us such advantages that it's worth gradually porting all tests to use it for consistency, but while the syntax is nice you could achieve the same thing by reading those paramterized lists in a loop i think?" Last remark was in reference to @pytest.mark.parametrize. Do we have a document somewhere to answer such? like a comparison that outlines why it might be better to do so , or alternatively, to discuss the contexts where sticking to Django TestCase's is better? Is there a full feature list that I may point people at when they ask me "why pytest" ? Cheers, -Sivan
