MNT: Update doc about setup.py and py.test by pllim · Pull Request #10756 · astropy/astropy

pllim · 2020-09-22T14:15:06Z

Description

This pull request is to address mentions of outdated setup.py and py.test usage.

I am still not so sure about milestoning doc changes. I am guessing this should go in bug fix for 4.1? If not, feel free to re-milestone.

Close #10752

p.s. There was also a previous effort to replace py.test in #10722, which seemed to have missed the files I edited here.

saimn

Looks good, just a few comments.

                "The coverage option is ignored on run_tests, since it "
                "can not be made to work in that context.  Use "
-                "'python setup.py test --coverage' instead.",
+                "'pytest --coverage' instead.",


--coverage is an option specific to setup.py test, and since this is a warning specific to the test runner it should not be changed ?

But we don't allow setup.py test anymore. I am confused.

yeah I think this should be pytest --cov here not --coverage

@saimn made me undo the changes, so --cov doesn't apply no more.

This warning is emitted when you run setup.py test, so it seems weird that it then refers to pytest instead.
And I'm not sure if setup.py test is actually deprecated ?

It is not deprecated, it outright won't work anymore as far as this package is concerned.

astropy/setup.py

Line 13 in 7962503

Note: running tests is no longer done using 'python setup.py test'. Instead

The test command is still used by downstream packages that use astropy helpers

This will need to be replaced by python-build in the short term (https://python-build.readthedocs.io/en/latest/). I'm not sure exactly what's the status of this, but pep517.build is going to be replaced by python-build soon.

Until python-build is shipped officially everywhere, we cannot recommend it yet.

Yes, there's a bit of urgency to make pep517.build disappear, see discussion pypa/pyproject-hooks#83

If this bit of documentation is going to stick around in a stable version for some months, I'd say it's risky

You can install python-build already, so I don't think there is an issue with recommending it now.

Agree we should mention python-build here

But why? Isn't it too soon? I tried using it in one of my packages and it doesn't work.

all python build is, is a CLI for pep517 it should work fine. What trouble did you run into?

My trouble: https://dev.azure.com/spacetelescope/acstools/_build/results?buildId=3756&view=logs&j=b25f120e-e38e-5d50-120e-fa71f5e29986&t=b1d60ffd-f6c2-56b4-1446-ab1e65159582&l=71

The diff: spacetelescope/acstools@f556c6f

Am I using it wrong? I tried to follow the Python doc.

You didn't install the build package 😉 Also, have you considered using https://github.com/OpenAstronomy/azure-pipelines-templates I hear some really awesome people maintain it 😛

Huh... You would think Python would install it automatically since it is like so essential. Thanks! I'll try that.

Re: Azure -- I would have just switched to Actions. I just don't have time to refactor the CI for that package. 😬

pllim · 2020-09-22T18:27:46Z

@saimn , I think I have addressed your comments. How does it look now?

astrofrog

Wow so much outdated stuff, thanks for catching it all! A few comments below.

-``./setup.py test`` distutils command.
-"""
-
+"""Implements the wrapper for the Astropy test runner."""


Maybe add a note that this is just here for backward-compatibility for other packages and can be removed once astropy-helpers is no longer supported?

astrofrog · 2020-09-23T10:43:30Z

        python -m pep517.build --source .

+   All following instructions will assume you have ``pyproject.toml``, so
+   please adjust accordingly if that is not the case yet.


What about linking to the 4.0 docs for projects that don't have this file?

 cd astropy/coordinates/tests    # get ready to run coordinate tests
-py.test                         # test
+pytest                          # test


Instead of these two lines, pytest astropy/coordinates would be better because it will load the pytest config in setup.cfg and will also run doctests not in the tests directory.

 # After edit, re-test
 #
-py.test test_arrays.py          # Hopefully this succeeds
+pytest test_arrays.py           # Hopefully this succeeds


pytest astropy/coordinates/tests/test_arrays - etc for the rest of the instructions

I think updating the actual instruction is out of scope here. The whole thing is way outdated. The log shows Python 2, etc etc. Maybe @mwcraig can update it when he has time. I am not even sure where this info is displayed. I just modify it for consistency in regards to "py.test" since grep found it.

I had completely forgotten about this. It probably needs to be re-written from the ground up if we want it to stay around. I agree this is outside the scope of this PR.

Okay, we can follow-up over at #10777 . Thanks!

Again we should basically always run pytest from the root of the repo

Looks good to me, thanks @pllim 👍
I will leave the final approval to @astrofrog.
