pytest-repo-health adapts pytest to run repo health checks as described in edx-repo-health. Similar to how pytest runs a number of test functions, pytest-repo-health runs a number of repo check functions.
It inspects a code repository and outputs a report with info on whether the repository follows standards as defined by checks. It's a good complement for a cookiecutter; the cookiecutter provides a good template for starting a repository with current best practices, and pytest-repo-health helps it keep up with those practices as they evolve over time.
This pytest plugin was generated with Cookiecutter along with @hackebrot's cookiecutter-pytest-plugin template.
For now, you need to git clone pytest-repo-health from: [email protected]:edx/pytest-repo-health.git
You can install by running make requirements and then pip install -e .
in a Python 3.5+ virtualenv.
Once installed, use this command to run checks:
$ pytest -c <() --noconftest --repo-health --repo-health-path <path to dir with checks> --repo-path <path to repo to check>
The -c and --noconftest options are needed to stop pytest from incorrectly reading configuration files in the repo you are checking:
-c file: load configuration from `file` instead of trying to locate one of the implicit configuration files. Helpful if invocation dir defines "add-opts" in one of its files. --noconftest: Don't load any conftest.py files. Helpful in case invocation dir/repository has conftest files that change configurations or cause pytest to run unnecessary code.
Other pytest options can be used. For example, -k is helpful for running a subset of checks.
The "all_results" dictionary will be written as YAML to repo_health.yaml.
Any repo can host repo checks. They must be in a directory named "repo_health".
If you would like to add custom checks for your own repo, create a dir named "repo_health" and place modules with checks inside of it.
Checks naming convention:
- python_functions = "check_*"
- python_files = "check_*.py"
Pytest will look for checks in these directories, though it will only successfully run checks in the first place it finds them: - Dir of pytest invocation(so current dir) - Dir where pytest-repo-health is installed - Dir specified by --repo-health-path flag in pytest invocation
Arguments added by plugin:
--repo-health: this arg needs to be present for plugin to do anything --repo-path <dir path> : the path to dir on which to perform checks. If not preset, checks will be performed on current dir --repo-health-path <dir path>: path to where checks are located. If not preset, plugin will look for checks in current repo --output-path <file path> : path to where to save resulting checks report --repo-health-metadata: if this is present, plugin will collect metadata(docs) from checks. You can give filename after flag(if no filename, it defaults to metadata.yaml)
- Currently, the checks do not throw any kind of warning or error if check does not pass.
- Documenting standard reqs/checks in each check better.
- Create tests for this plugin(currently, you can run these checks on this repo, but no automated method for it)
