[py-dev] py.test from inside the python console

[Fede Naum]

Hi Holger, and all, Thank you so much for the quick response, and sorry I
could not come back  with the results earlier.

The "runtesthelper.py" works fine to run  tests in a console and inside Maya
without using any plugin.
But I need to use the *keyword* plugin because I have to select some test
that runs inside maya, and deselect other that run in another
application....

I was registering it with the following code. (likely not to be the best
way, and  as you said it's kind of a hack using py.test.config,)

import os, py
os.environ['PYTEST_PLUGINS'] = 'keyword'
py.test.config.pluginmanager.consider_env()
py.test.config.pluginmanager.do_configure(py.test.config)

but now when I used the "runtesthelper.py" I got an error, so I could not
manage yet to read the keyword plugin and then execute my tests.

You were saying that py.test.config is kind of deprecated.?..so, what should
I use instead? Or what will be the correct way to register a plugin from
inside a console and then run the test using your "runtesthelper.py"

Thanks a lot
Fede
