Hello all! I have made an attempt to start building a pytest-like testing framework for Julia. There is a (quite preliminary) package here: https://github.com/pdobacz/PyTest.jl
I intend to go along these lines: - follow pytest (http://doc.pytest.org/en/latest/) as closely as reasonably possible. Rationale: it is an accomplished framework, which I really appreciate using, hence I use it as inspiration and specification, to "not reinvent the wheel". - stray from pytest only when absolutely necessary, just to remain julian and adhere to existing standards - remain compatible with Base.Test What PyTest.jl can do at the current state? - define and use fixtures (parametrized fixtures too!) to do setup/teardown pytest-style. - select a subset of tests to run (simplified "-k" option from pytest) - demonstrate being thoroughly tested itself! - not too much really, as it is still WIP, but I am going to sketch out a roadmap soon I reach out to you to: - hear voices of support and encouragement (well, or criticism) - are there any pytest-and-julia-fans like myself? - get opinions and guidance - what would you recommend doing next? - find julia packages that could use such testing framework - ones that have complicated setup/teardown code to be organized and managed. I'd need such package to pivot my work in the right direction (BTW, I am aware of Fixtures.jl, I just decided to stick more closely to pytest. Any comments from creators of Fixtures.jl?)
