Is there a way to configure pytest_plugins from a pytest.ini file? - pytest

I may have missed this detail but I'm trying to see if I can control the set of plugins made available through the ini configuration itself.
I did not find that item enumerated in any of the configurable command-line options nor in any of the documentation around the pytest_plugins global.
The goal is to reuse a given test module with different fixture implementations.

#hoefling is absolutely right, there is actually a pytest command line argument that can specify plugins to be used, which along with the addopts ini configuration can be used to select a set of plugin files, one per -p command.
As an example the following ini file selects three separate plugins, the plugins specified later in the list take precedence over those that came earlier.
projX.ini
addopts =
-p projX.plugins.plugin_1
-p projX.plugins.plugin_2
-p projY.plugins.plugin_1
We can then invoke this combination on a test module with a command like
python -m pytest projX -c projX.ini
A full experiment is detailed here in this repository

Get description of packages in yocto image

I know I can get a list of packages included in an image using this command:
bitbake -g <image> && cat pn-buildlist | grep -ve "native" | sort | uniq
Is there a bitbake command to get the description of a specific package? Or perhaps there is a command to get all info on a package, I could simply grep the output of this.
Cheers!
It isn't a bitbake command, but there is oe-pkgdata-util utility (part of openembedded-core). It works in OE build environment (like bitbake). You can query a value from a built package (not recipe) using the read-value subcommand. The basic syntax is:
oe-pkgdata-util read-value <value> <pkg1> [<pkg2>...]
You can query multiple packages, prefix the name of package etc. Just check:
oe-pkgdata-util read-value --help
Here is an example for your question:
tom#pc:~/oe/build> oe-pkgdata-util read-value DESCRIPTION libc6
The GNU C Library is used as the system C library in most systems with the Linux kernel.
BTW, you can query other variables like RDEPENDS, SUMMARY etc.
Please note that if the DESCRIPTION variable is not set in the recipe, it is filled with content of a SUMMARY variable (see doc).
Your question also mentions getting the list of packages in the image. I would say that there are more straightforward ways. For example:
manifest file in the deploy dir (the file is next to the image file): ${DEPLOY_DIR}/images/${MACHINE}/${IMAGE_BASENAME}-${MACHINE}.manifest
file installed-package-names.txt in buildhistory (if you've enabled it). It is inside the folder ${BUILDHISTORY_DIR}/images/${MACHINE_ARCH}/${TCLIBC}/${IMAGE_BASENAME}/.
FYI, not every package has a description.
I usually read the recipe as it is faster than waiting the bitbake output. Nevertheless, if you wish to read it from bitbake:
bitbake <recipe> -e | grep ^DESCRIPTION=
The description may be written in the recipe, like in here
As a side note, you can get access to each variable with -e, very useful for debugging.

How to conditionally install documentation to pkghtmldir using Automake

I have a recipe in Automake that optionally builds documentation if the user issues make doc or make htmldoc:
if DOXYGEN_AVAILABLE
docs html htmldoc html-doc:
$(DOXYGEN) Doxyfile -d DOXYGEN_PROCESSING
fi
DOXYGEN_AVAILABLE is set in configure based on the result of AC_CHECK_PROGS. If the docs are built there will be a directory html-doc. The documentation is optional and html-doc may be missing.
If html-doc is present I won't have a file list. I don't believe this will work in Makefile.am:
if DOXYGEN_AVAILABLE
docs html htmldoc html-doc:
$(DOXYGEN) Doxyfile -d DOXYGEN_PROCESSING
pkghtmldir_FILES += html-doc/
fi
How do I optionally install documentation to pkghtmldir when using Automake?
I suggest in the first place that you change your logic a bit. If it's OK to not install the Doxygen docs when Doxygen isn't available to build them, then it should also be OK not to install them even if Doxygen is available. Thus, it makes sense to use an --enable-docs or --with-docs or similar option to configure to let the package builder express whether the docs should be built, with whichever default suits you. You could also consider including pre-built docs with your package, and then selecting whether to enable rebuilding them.
You can furthermore, then, altogether omit the check for Doxygen when docs are not requested anyway, and emit a warning or error when they are requested but Doxygen is not available (or is too old). That should be less surprising to package builders. At least, it would be less surprising to me.
Still, it ultimately comes down to Automake conditionals either way. Here's a slightly trimmed version of how I handle pretty much the same task in one of my projects:
$(top_srcdir)/Makefile.am:
# An Automake conditional:
if make_docs
# The name of the target(s) that encompasses actually building the docs
doxygen_html_targets = dox-html
# My Doxyfile is built by the build system, and the docs also depend on some example
# sources, stylesheets, and other files provided by the package. All these are
# listed here, so that the docs are rebuilt if any of them change:
dox_deps = Doxyfile ...
# How to actually install the docs (a one-line make recipe). Covers also installing
# pre-built docs that I include in the package for convenience, though this example
# has most of the other plumbing for that removed.
#
# The chmod in the below command must ensure the target files writable
# in order to work around weirdness in the behavior of the "distcheck" target
# when not configured to rebuild docs.
html_install = test -d dox-html && html_dir=dox-html || html_dir=$(srcdir)/dox-html; \
$(MKDIR_P) $(DESTDIR)$(pkgdocdir); \
cp -pR $${html_dir} $(DESTDIR)$(pkgdocdir)/html; \
chmod -R u+w,go+rX $(DESTDIR)$(pkgdocdir)/html
else
doxygen_html_targets =
dox_deps =
html_install = :
endif
# The variable prerequisites of this rule are how the selection is made between
# building the docs and not building them:
html-local: $(doxygen_html_targets)
:
## This rule should not be necessary, but Automake seems otherwise to ignore the
## install-html-local rule, perhaps because there are no targets with an HTML
## primary.
install-data-local: install-html-local
# The variable recipe for this rule is how the selection is made between installing
# the docs and not installing them:
install-html-local:
$(html_install)
maintainer-clean-local:
$(RM) -rf dox-html
# This rule, when exercised, is what actually builds the docs:
dox-html: $(dox_deps)
$(RM) -rf dox-html
$(DOXYGEN) Doxyfile
The key thing to take away here is that it's not only file lists that you can store in make variables and control via Automake conditionals. You can also store the names of arbitrary targets, to be used in prerequisite lists, and you can even store the text of rule recipes, so as to vary behavior of the rules that are selected.

Is it possible to use config fragments with Buildroot's .config?

I'm using Buildroot as a submodule, and I want to reuse existing in-tree defconfigs with a few modification of my own.
I'd like to store just the modified options in a config fragment, just like I can do with BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CONFIG_FRAGMENT_FILES for the Linux kernel config.
Right now I'm doing something like:
cd buildroot
make BR2_EXTERNAL="$(pwd)/../mypackage" qemu_x86_64_defconfig
echo '
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CONFIG_FRAGMENT_FILES="../kernel_config_fragment"
BR2_ROOTFS_OVERLAY="../rootfs_overlay"
' >> .config
make
Is there a nicer way to avoid that echo with a config fragment, just like I'm using for the Linux kernel config fragment? I'd expect something like:
make BR2_CONFIG_FRAG=br_config_frag
where br_config_frag contains the lines:
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CONFIG_FRAGMENT_FILES="../kernel_config_fragment"
BR2_ROOTFS_OVERLAY="../rootfs_overlay"
and then I'd be able to write just:
make -C buildroot BR2_CONFIG_FRAG=br_config_frag qemu_x86_64_defconfig all
Here's the full example repo.
Edit
One slight improvement is to put the "config fragment" in a separate file buildroot_config_fragment:
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CONFIG_FRAGMENT_FILES="../kernel_config_fragment"
BR2_ROOTFS_OVERLAY="../rootfs_overlay"
and then cat that:
cat ../buildroot_config_fragment >> .config
First side note: your script should run make olddefconfig before make, so that any new options are set to their default value instead of being asked for interactively.
You could simplify the script a little by doing:
cat configs/qemu_x86_64_defconfig br_config_frag > .config
make olddefconfig
You can also use the script support/kconfig/merge_config.sh from the kconfig infrastructure. However, that script internally uses make alldefconfig which currently doesn't work - you need a patch for that.
If you would like to add support for BR2_CONFIG_FRAG to the Buildroot infrastructure, feel free to send a patch to the Buildroot mailing list!
I asked on the IRC, and an user who seems to be Yann E. Morin, who seems to be an active developer, said it is not possible currently.
Arnout's make alldefconfig patch is now merged in buildroot as of 26 Jul 2017
(https://github.com/buildroot/buildroot/commit/dab80981d15979eab3aea28a33694396635a52a1).
This means you can now do:
./support/kconfig/merge_config.sh configs/qemu_x86_64_defconfig fragment1.config fragment2.config
This will use qemu_x86_64_defconfig as the base and add modifications given in the listed fragment config files. The tool will also show nice warnings if you override items.

Change pytest rootdir

I am stuck with this incredibly silly error. I am trying to run pytest on a Raspberry Pi using bluepy.

I realised that my problem could be that rootdir is showing incorrect path. It should be
/home/pi/bluepy/bluepy
I've been reading pytest docs but I just do not get it how to change the rootdir.
Your problem is nothing to do with Pytest's rootdir.
The rootdir in Pytest has no connection to how test package names are constructed and rootdir is not added to sys.path, as you can see from the problem you were experiencing. (Beware: the directory that is considered rootdir may be added to the path for other reasons, such as it also being the current working directory when you run python -m pytest.)
The problem here, as others have described, is that the top-level bluepy/ is not in sys.path. The easiest way to handle this if you just want to get something running interactively for yourself is as per Cecil Curry's answer: cd to the top-level bluepy and run Pytest as python -m pytest bluepy/test_asdf.py (or just python -m pytest if you want it to discover all test_* files in or under the current directory and run them). But I think you will need to use python -m pytest, not just pytest, in order to make sure that the current working directory is in the path.
If you're looking to set up a test framework that others can easily run without mysterious failures like this, you'll want to set up a test script that sets the current working directory or PYTHONPATH or whatever appropriately. Or use tox. Or just make this a Python package using standard tools that can run the tests for you. (All that goes way beyond the scope of this question.)
By the way, I concur with Cecil's opinion of Mackie Messer's answer; messing around with conftest.py like that is overly difficult and fragile; there are better solutions for almost any circumstance.
Appendix: Use of rootdir
There are only two things, as far as I'm aware, for which rootdir is used:
The .pytest_cache/ directory is stored in the rootdir unless otherwise specified (with the cache_dir configuration option).
If rootdir contains a conftest.py, it will always be loaded, even if no test files are loaded from in or under the rootdir.
The documentation claims that the rootdir also used to generate nodeids, but adding a conftest.py containing
def pytest_runtest_logstart(nodeid, location):
print("logstart nodeid={} location={}".format(nodeid, location))
and running pytest --rootdir=/somewhere/way/outside/the/tree shows that to be incorrect (though node locations are relative to the rootdir).
My first guess would be that you don't have that directory in the python path. You can add it to the python path dynamically. One simple way to do this is in a test configuration file conftest.py, which I believe is always executed before test discovery and test running.
For example, you might have a project setup like:
root
+-- tests
| +-- conftest.py
| +-- tests_asdf.py
+-- bluepy (or main project dir)
| +-- miscellaneous modules
In which case, you could add the root dir to your python path in the conftest.py file like so:
#
# conftest.py
import sys
from os.path import dirname as d
from os.path import abspath, join
root_dir = d(d(abspath(__file__)))
sys.path.append(root_dir)
Let me know if that's helpful.
Actually, py.test is correctly discovering the rootdir for your project to be /home/pi/bluepy. That's good.
Tragically, you are erroneously attempting to run py.test within your project's package subdirectory (i.e., /home/pi/bluepy/bluepy) rather than within your project's rootdir (i.e., /home/pi/bluepy). That's bad.
Let's break this down a little. From within the:
/home/pi/bluepy directory, there is a bluepy.btle submodule. (Good.)
/home/pi/bluepy/bluepy subdirectory, there is no bluepy.btle submodule. (Bad.) Unless you awkwardly attempt to manually inject the parent directory of this subdirectory (i.e., /home/pi/bluepy) onto sys.path as Makie Messer perhaps inadvisably advises, Python has no means of inferring that the package bluepy actually refers to the current directory coincidentally also named bluepy. To avoid ambiguity issues of this sort, Python is typically only run outside rather than inside of a project's package subdirectory.
Since you ran py.test from the latter rather than the former directory, Python is unable to find the bluepy.btle submodule on the current sys.path. For this and similar reasons, py.test should typically only ever be run from your project's top-level rootdir (i.e., /home/pi/bluepy):
pi#pi:~/ $ cd ~/bluepy
pi#pi:~/bluepy $ py.test bluepy/test_asdf.py
Lastly, note that it's typically preferable to defer test discovery to py.test. Rather than explicitly listing all test script filenames on the command line, consider instead letting py.test implicitly find and run all tests containing some substring via the -k option. For example, to run all tests whose function names are prefixed by test_asdf (regardless of the test script they reside in):
pi#pi:~/ $ cd ~/bluepy
pi#pi:~/bluepy $ py.test -k test_asdf .
The suffixing . is optional, but often useful. It instructs py.test to set its rootdir property to the current directory (i.e., /home/pi/bluepy). py.test is usually capable of finding your project's rootdir and setting this property on its own, but it can't hurt to specify it manually. (Especially as you're having... issues.)
For further details on rootdir discovery, see Initialization: determining rootdir and inifile in the official py.test documentation.

Devel::Cover with options for test coverage

In a project I am working on the directory layout that does not have a lib directory so we have
/X.pm
/X/Y.pm
...
/t/test.t
when I run
$ PERL5OPT=-MDevel::Cover make test
$ cover
I get report only for the files in t/
how can I tell Devel::Cover to report about all the files in the current directory except those in t?
I thought I can do it by this:
cover -t +inc . -inc t
but I get:
Unknown option: inc
Invalid command line options at /home/gabor/perl5/lib/perl5/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/Devel/Cover/Report/Html_minimal.pm line 677.
from the documentation it is unclear to me how can I supply these options.
cover doesn't actually generate coverage statistics, only reports on it IIRC.
Also, the +inc seems to need to be a part of PERL5OPT (comma separated to have -M pass them to import(), e.g. -MDevel::Cover=+inc,"/sometething")
I could be wrong - I only ever use Devel::Cover when actually running .t files, so never tried to do "all modules in directory" approach.
