Hi all,
there are several tox (the generic python test tool) enhancements i'd
like to address next year. I've just written down my current thoughts
on reaching these goals::
- allow to more easily define and run dependency and interpreter
variants with testenvs
- allow to specify platforms against which tests should run
- allow platform-specific settings
- allow to run installer-variants (easy_install or pip)
The draft html doc explaining the proposed syntax is here:
http://testrun.org/tox/latest/config-v2.html
You can find the source on bitbucket, namely:
http://bitbucket.org/hpk42/tox/doc/config-v2.txt
Obviously implementing this draft will take some effort.
I am naturally open to reviews, co-hacking or sponsoring.
best & a happy few last days of this year!
