Previously, `spack test` automatically passed all of its arguments to
`pytest -k` if no options were provided, and to `pytest` if they were.
`spack test -l` also provided a list of test filenames, but they didn't
really let you completely narrow down which tests you wanted to run.
Instead of trying to do our own weird thing, this passes `spack test`
args directly to `pytest`, and omits the implicit `-k`. This means we
can now run, e.g.:
```console
$ spack test spec_syntax.py::TestSpecSyntax::test_ambiguous
```
This wasn't possible before, because we'd pass the fully qualified name
to `pytest -k` and get an error.
Because `pytest` doesn't have the greatest ability to list tests, I've
tweaked the `-l`/`--list`, `-L`/`--list-long`, and `-N`/`--list-names`
options to `spack test` so that they help you understand the names
better. you can combine these options with `-k` or other arguments to do
pretty powerful searches.
This one makes it easy to get a list of names so you can run tests in
different orders (something I find useful for debugging `pytest` issues):
```console
$ spack test --list-names -k "spec and concretize"
cmd/env.py::test_concretize_user_specs_together
concretize.py::TestConcretize::test_conflicts_in_spec
concretize.py::TestConcretize::test_find_spec_children
concretize.py::TestConcretize::test_find_spec_none
concretize.py::TestConcretize::test_find_spec_parents
concretize.py::TestConcretize::test_find_spec_self
concretize.py::TestConcretize::test_find_spec_sibling
concretize.py::TestConcretize::test_no_matching_compiler_specs
concretize.py::TestConcretize::test_simultaneous_concretization_of_specs
spec_dag.py::TestSpecDag::test_concretize_deptypes
spec_dag.py::TestSpecDag::test_copy_concretized
```
You can combine any list option with keywords:
```console
$ spack test --list -k microarchitecture
llnl/util/cpu.py modules/lmod.py
```
```console
$ spack test --list-long -k microarchitecture
llnl/util/cpu.py::
test_generic_microarchitecture
modules/lmod.py::TestLmod::
test_only_generic_microarchitectures_in_root
```
Or just list specific files:
```console
$ spack test --list-long cmd/test.py
cmd/test.py::
test_list test_list_names_with_pytest_arg
test_list_long test_list_with_keywords
test_list_long_with_pytest_arg test_list_with_pytest_arg
test_list_names
```
Hopefully this stuff will help with debugging test issues.
- [x] make `spack test` send args directly to `pytest` instead of trying
to do fancy things.
- [x] rework `--list`, `--list-long`, and add `--list-names` to make
searching for tests easier.
- [x] make it possible to mix Spack's list args with `pytest` args
(they're just fancy parsing around `pytest --collect-only`)
- [x] add docs
- [x] add tests
- [x] update spack completion
I have, more than once, tried to install the list of things that need
to build the docs, only to discover that the list doesn't use Spack's
package names. I'm tired of facepalming....
While I was there I touched up the prose about activating the new
Python packages; activating a python package doesn't add anything to
your PYTHONPATH, it links things into a directory that's *already* on
your PYTHONPATH. Note that this all presupposes that you're using
that same python....
- remove the old LGPL license headers from all files in Spack
- add SPDX headers to all files
- core and most packages are (Apache-2.0 OR MIT)
- a very small number of remaining packages are LGPL-2.1-only
- Support for Python 3.3 isn't really needed, as nothing uses it as the
default system Python, and nearly everyone will have a newer Python 3
version installed.
* Sphinx no longer supports Python 2.6
* Update vendored sphinxcontrib.programoutput from 0.9.0 to 0.10.0
* Documentation cannot be built in parallel
* Let Travis install programoutput for us
* Remove vendored sphinxcontrib-programoutput
Recent updates to the sphinx package prevent the vendored version
from being found in sys.path. We don't vendor sphinx, so it doesn't
make sense to vendor sphinxcontrib-programoutput either.
* Porting: substitute nose with ytest
This huge commit substitutes nose with pytest as a testing system. Things done here:
* deleted external/nose as it is no longer used
* moved mock resources in their own directory 'test/mock/'
* ported two tests (cmd/find, build_system) to pytest native syntax as an example
* build_environment, log: used monkeypatch instead of try/catch
* moved global mocking of fetch_cache to an auto-used fixture
* moved global mocking from test/__init__.py to conftest.py
* made `spack test` a wrapper around pytest
* run-unit-tests: avoid running python 2.6 tests under coverage to speed them up
* use `pytest --cov` instead of coverage run to cut down testing time
* mock/packages_test: moved mock yaml configuration to files instead of leaving it in the code as string literals
* concretize.py: ported tests to native pytest, reverted multiprocessing in pytest.ini as it was creating the wrong report for coveralls
* conftest.py, fixtures: added docstrings
* concretize_preferences.py: uses fixtures instead of subclassing MockPackagesTest
* directory_layout.py: uses fixtures instead of subclassing MockPackagesTest
* install.py: uses fixtures instead of subclassing MockPackagesTest
* optional_deps.py: uses fixtures instead of subclassing MockPackagesTest
optional_deps.py: uses fixtures instead of subclassing MockPackagesTest
* packages.py: uses fixtures instead of subclassing MockPackagesTest
* provider_index.py: uses fixtures instead of subclassing MockPackagesTest
* spec_yaml.py: uses fixtures instead of subclassing MockPackagesTest
* multimethod.py: uses fixtures instead of subclassing MockPackagesTest
* install.py: now uses mock_archive_url
* git_fetch.py: uses fixtures instead of subclassing MockPackagesTest
* hg_fetch.py: uses fixtures instead of subclassing MockPackagesTest
* svn_fetch.py, mirror.py: uses fixtures instead of subclassing MockPackagesTest
repo.py: deleted
* test_compiler_cmd.py: uses fixtures instead of subclassing MockPackagesTest
* cmd/module.py, cmd/uninstall.py: uses fixtures instead of subclassing MockDatabase
* database.py: uses fixtures instead of subclassing MockDatabase, removed mock/database
* pytest: uncluttering fixture implementations
* database: changing the scope to 'module'
* config.py: uses fixtures instead of subclassing MockPackagesTest
* spec_dag.py, spec_semantics.py: uses fixtures instead of subclassing MockPackagesTest
* stage.py: uses fixtures instead of subclassing MockPackagesTest. Removed mock directory
* pytest: added docstrings to all the fixtures
* pytest: final cleanup
* build_system_guess.py: fixed naming and docstrings as suggested by @scheibelp
* spec_syntax.py: added expected failure on parsing multiple specs closes#1976
* Add pytest and pytest-cov to Spack externals.
* Make `spack flake8` ignore externals.
* run-unit-tests runs spack test and not pytest.
* Remove all the special stuff for `spack test`
- Remove `conftest.py` magic and all the special case stuff in `bin/spack`
- Spack commands can optionally take unknown arguments, if they want to
handle them.
- `spack test` is now a command like the others.
- `spack test` now just delegates its arguments to `pytest`, but it does
it by receiving unknown arguments and NOT taking an explicit
help argument.
* Fix error in fixtures.
* Improve `spack test` command a bit.
- Now supports an approximation of the old simple interface
- Also supports full pytest options if you want them.
* Use external coverage instead of pytest-cov
* Make coverage use parallel-mode.
* change __init__.py docs to include pytest
- Ported old run-flake8-tests qa script to `spack flake8` command.
- New command does not modify files in the source tree
- Copies files to a temp stage modifies them there, and runs tests.
- Updated docs and `run-flake8-tests` script to call `spack flake8`.
