python_tests
Python tests.
These may be written in either Pytest-style or unittest style.
All test util code, other than conftest.py
, should go into a dedicated python_library()
target and then be included in the dependencies
field.
See https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/python-test-goal.
Backend: ``
compatibility
str | Iterable[str] | None
None
A string for Python interpreter constraints on this target. This should be written in Requirement-style format, e.g. CPython==2.7.*
or CPython>=3.6,<4
. As a shortcut, you can leave off CPython
, e.g. >=2.7
will be expanded to CPython>=2.7
. If this is left off, this will default to the option interpreter_constraints
in the [python-setup] scope. See https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/python-interpreter-compatibility.
dependencies
Iterable[str] | None
None
Addresses to other targets that this target depends on, e.g. ['helloworld/subdir:lib']. Alternatively, you may include file names. Pants will find which target owns that file, and create a new target from that which only includes the file in its sources
field. For files relative to the current BUILD file, prefix with ./
; otherwise, put the full path, e.g. ['./sibling.txt', 'resources/demo.json']. You may exclude dependencies by prefixing with !
, e.g. ['!helloworld/subdir:lib', '!./sibling.txt']
. Ignores are intended for false positives with dependency inference; otherwise, simply leave off the dependency from the BUILD file.
description
str | None
None
A human-readable description of the target. Use ./pants list --documented ::
to see all targets with descriptions.
runtime_package_dependencies
Iterable[str] | None
None
Addresses to targets that can be built with the ./pants package
goal and whose resulting assets should be included in the test run. Pants will build the assets as if you had run ./pants package
. It will include the results in your archive using the same name they would normally have, but without the --distdir
prefix (e.g. dist/
). You can include anything that can be built by ./pants package
, e.g. a pex_binary
, python_awslambda
, or an archive
.
sources
Iterable[str] | None
('test_*.py', '*_test.py', 'tests.py', 'conftest.py', 'test_*.pyi', '*_test.pyi', 'tests.pyi')
A list of files and globs that belong to this target. Paths are relative to the BUILD file's directory. You can ignore files/globs by prefixing them with !
. Example: sources=['example.py', 'test_*.py', '!test_ignore.py']
.
tags
Iterable[str] | None
None
Arbitrary strings that you can use to describe a target. For example, you may tag some test targets with 'integration_test' so that you could run ./pants --tags='integration_test' test ::
to only run on targets with that tag.
timeout
int | None
None
A timeout (in seconds) which covers the total runtime of all tests in this target. This only applies if the option --pytest-timeouts
is set to True.
