I have a few ideas for stuff I’d like to contribute. I cloned the github repo and made some changes, but I fail to run the unit tests. See the error below. My setup is simple Installed Python 3.6 Cloned the github repo Went to my local github repo and ran pip install -e . Now when I go to psycho…

Hi @lindeloev , I like to run specific tests, rather than the whole test suite. For example, if I am working on the JS code compiler, I navigate to tests/test_scripts and run: pytest name_of_test_file.py

Ah, I think this looks like an issue with changes to pytest. I recall something from Richard that pytest fixtures were changing and maybe this is the result of that. It used to be that we could simply create a global variable and attach it to some class/lib that wasn’t going away. so creating the a…

I think it relates to this , so @lindeloev might need to downgrade his version of pytest to < 4.1.0.

Yes, @dvbridges ! Doing pip install pytest==4.0 solved the first problem. @jon , I see you commited some fixes, so I’ll try with the newest pytest once they are pulled. Great! Then the tests failed prematurely because I didn’t have vlc so one pip install vlc later, everything ran. I don’t know much …

Further info… yes, this appears to be caused by a deprecated feature being removed in (just after?) pytest 4.0 https://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/deprecations.html#pytest-namespace We were already using the conftest.py system that I mentioned above, but I’ve had to change the way that is used. Unfo…

It looks like you reverted some of the changes. I cannot get the unit tests to run with pytest 4.4 with the same error as @lindeloev . All the demos seem to work in the app. I just tried with 3.0.7 and 3.1.0. Is the solution still to rollback pytest?

Ah, yes, I’m afraid I spoke too soon - I got new pytest to work with Python2.7 but not with Python3.6 and had to revert to the deprecated style until I have longer to look into why it didn’t work

But the issue specifically around pytest==4.0 should (I think) now be fixed
