pytest-parallel-testing

Small little repository to test out pytest-parallel running on a remote machine

Setting up

If you haven't already, create a person access token for GitHub to enable access to clone down the repository.

Clone repository:

git clone https://github.com/josephwilson8-nhs/pytest-parallel-testing.git

Create a conda environment:

conda create -n parallel-test python=3.9
conda activate parallel-test

pip install --upgrade pip setuptools==57.5.0
pip install -r requirements.txt

Running the tests

In VSCode, bring up the command pallet with Ctrl+Shift+P and type Python: Select Interpreter. Select the Python 3.9.12 ('parallel-test') interpreter or type ~/anaconda3/envs/parallel-test/bin/python. Then select the relevant launch configuration from the Run and Debug side menu and run it, Ctrl+F5.

Alternative, you can run the test manually from the Bash Prompt.

In parallel

In the bash prompt while in the ~/pytest-parallel-testing folder and the parallel-test conda environment activated:

python -m pytest --tests-per-worker auto

This should take a little over 5 seconds to run.

In series

In the bash prompt while in the ~/pytest-parallel-testing folder and the parallel-test conda environment activated:

python -m pytest

This should take a little over 60 seconds to run.
