Descriptors (e.g. properties) such as in the added test case are
triggered during collection, executing arbitrary code which can raise.
Previously, such exceptions were propagated and failed the collection.
Now these exceptions are caught and the corresponding attributes are
silently ignored.
A better solution would be to completely skip access to all custom
descriptors, such that the offending code doesn't even trigger. However
I think this requires manually going through the instance and all of its
MRO for each and every attribute checking if it might be a proper
fixture before accessing it. So I took the easy route here.
In other words, putting something like this in your test class is still
a bad idea...:
@property
def innocent(self):
os.system('rm -rf /')
Fixes#2234.
When an object has a custom __getattr__ which always returns a non-int, we
tried to get compat_co_firstlineno from it and checked it was a integer, which
caused an exception if such a class is mistakenly collected.
If we still mistakenly collect such a class (which is likely to be something
other than a test), we now skip it with a warning (because it probably has an
__init__) instead of producing an error.
See #1204.
Fixes issue 331
previously to this change the collection code would issue a warning for
when ever it encountered a variable that looked like a test but wasn't a
function saying that it wouldn't collect it because it wasn't a function.
This fixes the logic so that if that warning is issued it really isn't
collected.
However previously special cases existed to support tests that were
created using functools.wraps and functools.partial. So the condition for
issuing that warning has been updated to take that in to account
Also try the old way of detecting functions just for proper integration
with mock.path in python 2.7 the get_real_func returned the unbound method
- integrate conftest into pytester plugin
- introduce runpytest() to either call runpytest_inline (default) or
runpytest_subprocess (python -m pytest)
- move testdir.inline_runsource1 to pdb tests
- strike some unneccessary methods.
- a new section "writing plugins" and some better pytester docs
