Release documentation: Avocado 82.0
Bug Fixes
Avocado can now find tests on classes that are imported using relative
import
statements with multiple classes. Previously only the first class imported in such a statement was properly processed.avocado run
will now create test suites without an automatic (and usually very verbose) name, but instead without a name, given that there will be only one suite on such jobs. This restores theavocado run
behavior users expected and are used to.Hint files are now being respected again, this time within the context of test suite creation.
Filtering by tags is now working properly when using the resolver, that is, when using
avocado list --resolver -t $tag -- $reference
.Test suites now properly respect the configuration given to them, as opposed to using a configuration composed by the default registered option values.
Fixed the “elapsed time” produced by the
avocado-instrumented
nrunner runner (that is,avocado-runner-avocado-instrumented
).avocado --verbose list --resolver -- $reference
has reinstated the presentation of failed resolution information, which is useful for understanding why a test reference was not resolved into a test.The “legacy replay plugin”, that is,
avocado run --replay
, can now replay a subset of tests based on their status.The
avocado diff
command won’t crash anymore if givensysinfo
files with binary content. It will log the issue, and not attempt to present binary differences.The HTML report generated by
avocado diff
now runs properly and won’t crash.The asset fetcher plugin won’t crash anymore due to differences in the AST based node attributes.
avocado.utils.process.FDDrainer
now properly respects the presence and absence of newlines produced when running new processes viaavocado.utils.process.run()
and friends. This also fixes tests that relied on the “output check” feature because of missing newlines.The
nrunner
plugin will now always display test status in the most natural order, that is,STARTED
beforePASS
orFAIL
.The
nrunner
plugin will now properly set the job status in case of test failures, resulting in the job (andavocado run
) exit status to properly signal failures.A vast documentation review was performed, with many fixes and improvements.
