How to install pytest-flakes
- Download and install ActivePython
- Open Command Prompt
- Type
pypm install pytest-flakes
Lastest release
py.test plugin for efficiently checking python source with pyflakes.
Usage
install via:
pip install pytest-flakes
if you then type:
py.test --flakes
every file ending in .py will be discovered and run through pyflakes, starting from the command line arguments.
Configuring pyflakes options per project and file
You may configure pyflakes-checking options for your project by adding an flakes-ignore entry to your setup.cfg or setup.cfg file like this:
# content of setup.cfg [pytest] flakes-ignore = UnusedImport
This would globally prevent complaints about two whitespace issues. Rerunning with the above example will now look better:
$ py.test -q --flakes collecting ... collected 1 items . 1 passed in 0.01 seconds
If you have some files where you want to specifically ignore some errors or warnings you can start a flakes-ignore line with a glob-pattern and a space-separated list of codes:
# content of setup.cfg [pytest] flakes-ignore = *.py UnusedImport doc/conf.py ALL
Running pyflakes checks and no other tests
You can also restrict your test run to only perform "flakes" tests and not any other tests by typing:
py.test --flakes -k flakes
This will only run tests that are marked with the "flakes" keyword which is added for the flakes test items added by this plugin.
