Python Testing with pytest - Chapter 5 example c AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'config'
Running the examples in chapter 5 c under pytest 5.4.1 causes an AttributeError: ‘module’ object has no attribute ‘config’.
In particular the code:
$ cd /path/to/code/ch5/c/tasks_proj/tests/func
$ pytest --tb=no test_api_exceptions.py -k TestAdd
causes:
(bopytest) [user@computer func]$ pytest -v test_api_exceptions.py -k TestAdd

From the digging I have done it seems that the capability to do
pytest.config
from
pytest.config.getoption('nice'):
was deprecated in pytest 4.0 and removed from pytest 5.0.
What did work for me was:
def pytest_report_header(config):
"""Thank tester for running tests."""
if config.getoption("nice"):
return "Thanks for running the tests."
def pytest_report_teststatus(config, report):
"""Turn failures into opportunities."""
if report.when == "call":
if report.failed and config.getoption("nice"):
return (report.outcome, "O", "OPPORTUNITY for improvement")
Cheers
