I am fully aware of how easy is to write impure unittests with pytest, but so far I did not regret going this route.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I know that OpenStack historically loved to redo everything in house and minimise involvement with other open source python libraries. There are pros and cons on each approach but I personally prefer to bet on projects that are thriving and that are unlikely to need me to fix framework problems myself.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Cheers,</div><div dir="auto">Sorin</div><div dir="auto"><br><div class="gmail_quote" dir="auto"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, 9 Feb 2021 at 17:59, Martin Kopec <<a href="mailto:mkopec@redhat.com">mkopec@redhat.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204)"><div dir="ltr"><div>Hi everyone,</div><div><br></div><div>testr unit test runner (testrepository package [1]) hasn't been updated for years, therefore during Shanghai PTG [2] we came up with an initiative to migrate from testr to stestr (testr's successor) [3] unit test runner.</div><div>Here is an etherpad which tracks the effort [4].
