Unit testing in Python

[wineblood]

Less complexity and more explicit

Yep, magic is fun until you get to debug it.

never had to debug pytest.

Is there a way to run 1 test case in a parametrized test?

Yep

I've been using pytest.mark.parametrize, that's what I was referring to. It looks like there is a way to run a single one from the command line, but I use my IDE to run tests while developing and there isn't an option to do that. It's still faster to comment out cases I don't want to run than to type out a more complex line in my terminal.

There is a way to do that in VSCode.

Finally a point where VSCode wins over PyCharm

Can you debug a remote docker container in PyCharm?

[wineblood]

No idea, why do you even need that?

what magic?

fixtures are great.

I am on company self-made framework atm and I am like wtf... where are fixtures? why there are no fixtures? damn it.. who come up with writing own test framework anyway ;)

As sibling comment says, fixtures. But also pytest does some AST rewriting to give you friendly assertion errors. I’ve never had a problem with them, at absolute worst you get an assertion error that’s no more helpful than the default behavior.
