pytest-2.4.2: colorama on windows, plugin/tmpdir fixes
===========================================================================
pytest-2.4.2 is another bug-fixing release:
- on Windows require colorama and a newer py lib so that py.io.TerminalWriter()
now uses colorama instead of its own ctypes hacks. (fixes issue365)
thanks Paul Moore for bringing it up.
- fix "-k" matching of tests where "repr" and "attr" and other names would
cause wrong matches because of an internal implementation quirk
(don't ask) which is now properly implemented. fixes issue345.
- avoid tmpdir fixture to create too long filenames especially
when parametrization is used (issue354)
- fix pytest-pep8 and pytest-flakes / pytest interactions
(collection names in mark plugin was assuming an item always
has a function which is not true for those plugins etc.)
Thanks Andi Zeidler.
- introduce node.get_marker/node.add_marker API for plugins
like pytest-pep8 and pytest-flakes to avoid the messy
details of the node.keywords pseudo-dicts. Adapted
docs.
- remove attempt to "dup" stdout at startup as it's icky.
the normal capturing should catch enough possibilities
of tests messing up standard FDs.
- add pluginmanager.do_configure(config) as a link to
config.do_configure() for plugin-compatibility
as usual, docs at http://pytest.org and upgrades via::
pip install -U pytest
have fun,
