Bugfixes
- Resolve regression introduced in 2.9.0 that made it impossible to send binary
strings as bodies in Python 3.
- Fixed errors when calculating cookie expiration dates in certain locales.
Miscellaneous
- Updated bundled urllib3 to 1.13.1.
- Hypothesis will no longer write generated code to the file system. This will
improve performance on some systems (e.g. if you're using PythonAnywhere
which is running your code from NFS) and prevent some annoying interactions
with auto-restarting systems.
- Hypothesis will cache the creation of some strategies. This can significantly
improve performance for code that uses flatmap or composite and thus has to
instantiate strategies a lot.
* pkg_resources brain tips are a bit more specific, by specifiying proper
returns.
* Standard library modules are properly detected by is_standard_module.
Features:
- Tests and find are now explicitly seeded off the global random module. This
means that if you nest one inside the other you will now get a health check
error. It also means that you can control global randomization by seeding
random.
- There is a new random_module() strategy which seeds the global random module
for you and handles things so that you don't get a health check warning if
you use it inside your tests.
- floats() now accepts two new arguments: allow_nan and allow_infinity. These
default to the old behaviour, but when set to False will do what the names
suggest.
Bug fixes:
- Fix a bug where tests that used text() on Python 3.4+ would not actually be
deterministic even when explicitly seeded or using the derandomize mode,
because generation depended on dictionary iteration order which was affected
by hash randomization.
- Fix a bug where with complicated strategies the timing of the initial health
check could affect the seeding of the subsequent test, which would also
render supposedly deterministic tests non-deterministic in some scenarios.
- In some circumstances flatmap() could get confused by two structurally
similar things it could generate and would produce a flaky test where the
first time it produced an error but the second time it produced the other
value, which was not an error. The same bug was presumably also possible in
composite().
- flatmap() and composite() initial generation should now be moderately faster.
This will be particularly noticeable when you have many values drawn from the
same strategy in a single run, e.g. constructs like lists(s.flatmap(f)).
Shrinking performance may have suffered, but this didn't actually produce an
interestingly worse result in any of the standard scenarios tested.
- Fixed an issue with copy operations not working against
proxies.
- Changed the logging operations of the development server to
correctly log where the server is running in all situations
again.
- Fixed another regression with SSL wrapping similar to the
fix in 0.11.2 but for a different code path.
-----
5.0.0
-----
* Removed deprecated support for ``ssl_certificate`` and
``ssl_private_key`` attributes and implicit construction
of SSL adapter on Python 2 WSGI servers.
* Default SSL Adapter on Python 2 is the builtin SSL adapter,
matching Python 3 behavior.
-----
4.0.0
-----
* Drop support for Python 2.5 and earlier.
* No longer build Windows installers by default.
A small bug fix release, which fixes the fact that the 'note' function could
not be used on tests which used the @example decorator to provide explicit
examples.
- SignalBlocker now has a args attribute with the arguments of the signal that
triggered it, or None on a time out.
- MultiSignalBlocker is now properly disconnects from signals upon exit.
Minor Improvements (Backwards compatible)
- The verify keyword argument now supports being passed a path to a directory
of CA certificates, not just a single-file bundle.
- Warnings are now emitted when sending files opened in text mode.
- Added the 511 Network Authentication Required status code to the status code
registry.
Bugfixes
- For file-like objects that are not seeked to the very beginning, we now send
the content length for the number of bytes we will actually read, rather than
the total size of the file, allowing partial file uploads.
- When uploading file-like objects, if they are empty or have no obvious
content length we set Transfer-Encoding: chunked rather than
Content-Length: 0.
- We correctly receive the response in buffered mode when uploading chunked
bodies.
- We now handle being passed a query string as a bytestring on Python 3, by
decoding it as UTF-8.
- Sessions are now closed in all cases (exceptional and not) when using the
functional API rather than leaking and waiting for the garbage collector to
clean them up.
- Correctly handle digest auth headers with a malformed qop directive that
contains no token, by treating it the same as if no qop directive was
provided at all.
- Minor performance improvements when removing specific cookies by name.
This is actually the same release as 1.16.1, but 1.16.1 has been pulled because
it contains the following additional change that was not intended to be in a
patch release (it's perfectly stable, but is a larger change that should have
required a minor version bump):
Hypothesis will now perform a series of "health checks" as part of running your
tests. These detect and warn about some common error conditions that people
often run into which wouldn't necessarily have caued the test to fail but would
cause e.g. degraded performance or confusing results.
A small bugfix release that allows bdists for Hypothesis to be built under 2.7
- the compat3.py file which had Python 3 syntax wasn't intended to be loaded
under Python 2, but when building a bdist it was. In particular this would
break running setup.py test.
- fixed issue where class attributes injected during collection could break pytest.
- precompute junitxml chunks instead of storing the whole tree in objects
- fix ``pytest.deprecated_call()`` receiving multiple arguments
(Regression introduced in 2.8.4).
- Support git submodules
- Revert the zc.buildout support hack from 0.26 because it causes breakage
- Improve non-ASCII filename handling with Bazaar on Windows.
There are no public API changes in this release but it includes a behaviour
change that I wasn't comfortable putting in a patch release.
- Functions from hypothesis.strategies will no longer raise InvalidArgument on
bad arguments. Instead the same errors will be raised when a test using such
a strategy is run. This may improve startup time in some cases, but the main
reason for it is so that errors in strategies won't cause errors in loading,
and it can interact correctly with things like pytest.mark.skipif.
- Errors caused by accidentally invoking the legacy API are now much less
confusing, although still throw NotImplementedError.
- hypothesis.extra.django is 1.9 compatible.
- When tests are run with max_shrinks=0 this will now still rerun the test on
failure and will no longer print "Trying example:" before each run.
Additionally note() will now work correctly when used with max_shrinks=0.
Documented a quirk signaled by David Goldstein when writing decorators for
functions with keyword arguments. Avoided copying the globals, as signaled by
Benjamin Peterson (2015/12/09)
- ``deprecated_call()`` now works when the deprecated function has been already
called by another test in the same module.
- ``--pastebin`` option now works on Python 3.
- ``--pastebin`` now works correctly when captured output contains non-ascii
characters.
- Fix another error when collecting with a nasty __getattr__().
- fix the summary printed when no tests did run.
- a number of documentation modernizations wrt good practices.
* Don't emit unsubscriptable-object if the node is found
inside an abstract class.
* Add wrong-import-position to check_messages's decorator arguments
for ImportChecker.leave_module
This fixes an esoteric bug which occurs when ungrouped-imports and
wrong-import-order are disabled and pylint is executed on multiple files.
What happens is that without wrong-import-position in check_messages,
leave_module will never be called, which means that the first non-import node
from other files might leak into the current file,
leading to wrong-import-position being emitted by pylint.
* Fix a crash which occurred when old visit methods are encountered
in plugin modules.
* Don't emit import-self and cyclic-import for relative imports
of modules with the same name as the package itself.
If we do it in tox.ini, there are two drawbacks:
- We have more stuff in PYTHONPATH even if we don't when actually using
qutebrowser.
- The separator is platform specific, so we can't easily do this in a portable
way in tox.ini.
- Fixed a mysterious problem that manifested in different ways: sometimes
hanging the process, sometimes making database connections fail.
- The XML report now has correct <source> elements when using a --source=
option somewhere besides the current directory.
- Fixed an unusual edge case of detecting source encodings
- Help messages that mention the command to use now properly use the actual
command name, which might be different than “coverage”.
A release with two new features.
- A 'characters' strategy for more flexible generation of text with particular
character ranges and types.
- Add support for preconditions to the rule based stateful testing.
- add __name__ attribute to testcases in TestCaseFunction to support the
@unittest.skip decorator on functions and methods.
- collecting tests if test module level obj has __getattr__().
- don't collect tests if their failure cannot be reported correctly e.g. they
are a callable instance of a class.
- fixed internal error when filtering tracebacks where one entry belongs to a
file which is no longer available.
- enhancement made to highlight in red the name of the failing tests so
they stand out in the output.
- minor fixes for interaction with OS X El Capitan system integrity
protection
--faulthandler-timeout option is now properly supported in Python 3+; also a
warning is issued instead of an error on platforms without a
faulthandler.dump_traceback_later function.
