Test & Code

A farewell to a fun 10 years.
Also, I should have tested it better. :)
In the audio I got the numbers wrong.  Doh!
This is episode 238, not 237. Oh well.
I'll still be around, of course, at:
pythontest.com - where I write about developing software with tests
pythonbytes.fm - Python news and headlines, delivered directly to your earbuds
Thanks for all the fun over the last 10 years.
I wish you the best.

In this episode, Brian interviews Sebastián Ramírez, creator of FastAPI, about its rapid rise in developer popularity and the launch of FastAPI Cloud.

In this episode, host Brian Okken and guest Adam Johnson explore essential Git features, highlighted by Adam's updated book, "Boost Your Git DX." 
Key topics include 
"cherry picking" for selective commits
"git stash" for managing in-progress work
"git diff", and specifically its `--name-only` flag, which provides a streamlined method for developers to identify which files have changed, which can be used to determine which tests need to be run
"git bisect" for efficiently pinpointing bugs. 
This conversation offers valuable strategies for developers at any skill level to enhance their Git proficiency and optimize their coding workflows.

In this episode, special guest Adam Johnson joins the show and examines pytest-django, a popular plugin among Django developers. He highlights its advantages over the built-in unittest framework, including improved test management and debugging. Adam addresses transition challenges, evolving fixture practices, and offers tips for optimizing test performance. This episode is a concise guide for developers looking to enhance their testing strategies with pytest-django.

pytest-django - a plugin for pytest that provides a set of useful tools for testing Django applications and projects.

pytest-metadata is described as a plugin for pytest that provides access to test session metadata. 
That is such a humble description for such a massively useful plugin. 
If you're already using pytest-html, you have pytest-metadata already installed, as pytest-metadata is one of the dependencies for pytest-html.
However, pytest-metadata is very useful even on its own.
Links:
pytest-metadata - The plugin we're talking about in this episode
pytest-base-url - Adds the base URL to the metadata.
pytest-html - Displays the metadata at the start of each report. See S2:E6: pytest-html - a plugin that generates HTML reports for test results

pytest-reporter-html1 - Presents metadata as part of the report.
pytest-selenium - Adds the driver, capabilities, and remote server to the metadata.
If you've got other plugins that work well with pytest-metadata, please let me know.
