🏃‍♀️ `ptr` - Python Test Runner 🏃‍♂️

Python Test Runner (ptr) was born to run tests in an opinionated way, within arbitrary code repositories. ptr supports many Python projects with unit tests defined in their setup.(cfg|py) files per repository. ptr allows developers to test multiple projects/modules in one Python environment through the use of a single test virtual environment.

ptr requires >= python 3.7
ptr itself uses ptr to run its tests 👌🏼
ptr is supported and tested on Linux, MacOS + Windows Operating Systems

By adding ptr configuration to your setup.cfg or setup.py you can have ptr perform the following, per test suite, in parallel:

run your test suite
check and enforce coverage requirements (via coverage),
format code (via black)
perform static type analysis (via mypy)

Quickstart

Install ptr into you virtualenv
- pip install ptr
Ensure your tests have a base file that can be executed directly
- i.e. python3 test.py (possibly using unittest.main())
After adding ptr_params to setup.py (see example below), run:

cd repo
ptr

How does `ptr` perform this magic? 🎩

I'm glad you ask. Under the covers ptr performs:

Recursively searches for setup.(cfg|py) files from BASE_DIR (defaults to your "current working directory" (CWD))
- AST parses out the config for each setup.py test requirements
- If a setup.cfg exists, load via configparser and prefer if a [ptr] section exists
Creates a Python Virtual Environment (OPTIONALLY pointed at an internal PyPI mirror)
Runs ATONCE tests suites in parallel (i.e. per setup.(cfg|ptr))
All steps will be run for each suite and ONLY FAILED runs will have output written to stdout

Usage 🤓

To use ptr all you need to do is cd to your project or set the base dir via -b and execute:

$ ptr [-dk] [-b some/path] [--venv /tmp/existing_venv]

For faster runs when testing, it is recommended to reuse a Virtual Environment:

-k - To keep the virtualenv created by ptr.
Use --venv VENV_PATH to reuse to an existing virtualenv created by the user.

Configuration 🧰

ptr is configured by placing directives in one or more of the following files. .ptrconfig provides base configuration and default values for all projects in the repository, while each setup.(cfg|py) overrides the base configuration for the respective packages they define.

`.ptrconfig`

ptr supports a general config in ini (ConfigParser) format. A .ptrconfig file can be placed at the root of any repository or in any directory within your repository. The first .ptrconfig file found via a recursive walk to the root ("/" in POSIX systems) will be used.

Please refer to ptrconfig.sample for the options available.

`setup.py`

This is per project in your repository. A simple example, based on ptr itself:

# Specific Python Test Runner (ptr) params for Unit Testing Enforcement
ptr_params = {
    # Where mypy will run to type check your program
    "entry_point_module": "ptr",
    # Base Unittest file
    "test_suite": "ptr_tests",
    "test_suite_timeout": 300,
    # Relative path from setup.py to module (e.g. ptr == ptr.py)
    "required_coverage": {"ptr.py": 99, "TOTAL": 99},
    # Run `black --check` or not
    "run_black": False,
    # Run mypy or not
    "run_mypy": True,
}

`setup.cfg`

This is per project in your repository and if exists is preferred over setup.py.

Please refer to setup.cfg.sample for the options available + format.

mypy Specifics

When enabled, (in setup.(cfg|py)) mypy can support using a custom mypy.ini for each setup.py (module) defined.

To have ptr run mypy using you config:

create a mypy.ini in the same directory as your setup.py
OR add [mypy] section to your setup.cfg

mypy Configuration Documentation can be found here

An example setup.cfg can be seen here.

FAQ ⁉️

Q. How do I debug? I need output!

ptr developers recommend that if you want output, please cause a test to fail
- e.g. raise ZeroDivisionError
Another recommended way is to run your tests with the default setup.py test using a ptr created venv:
- cd to/my/code
- /tmp/venv/bin/python setup.py test

Q. How do I get specific version of black, coverage, mypy etc.?

Just simply hard set the version in the .ptrconfig in your repo or use requirements.txt to pre-install before running ptr
All pip PEP 440 version specifiers are supported

Q. Why is the venv creation so slow?

ptr attempts to update from a PyPI compatible mirror (PEP 381) or PyPI itself
Running a package cache or local mirror can greatly increase speed. Example software to do this:
- bandersnatch: Can do selected or FULL PyPI mirrors. The maintainer is also devilishly good looking.
- devpi: Can be ran and used to proxy packages locally when pip goes out to grab your dependencies.
Please ensure you're using the -k or --venv option to no recreate a virtualenv each run when debugging your tests!

Q. Why is ptr not able to run `pyre` on Windows?

pyre (pyre-check on PyPI) does not ship a Windows wheel with the ocaml pyre.bin

Q. Why do you depend on >= coverage 5.0.1

coverage 5.0 introduced using sqlite and we don't want to have a mix of 4.x and 5.x for ptr
< 5.0 could possibly still work as we now ensure to run each projects tests from setup_py.parent CWD with subprocess
