fix unintentional skipped tests #1557

jhamman · 2017-09-07T04:47:27Z

Closes @requires_pinio mass disables unrelated tests #1531
Tests added / passed
Passes git diff upstream/master | flake8 --diff
Fully documented, including whats-new.rst for all changes and api.rst for new API

As @crusaderky pointed out, just moving the @requires_pynio decorator inside the TestPyNio class seems to fix the problems described in #1531. It looks like requires_pynio is nullifying CFEncodedDataTest, Only32BitTypes, TestCase in addition to TestPyNio, hence the propagation.

This PR also includes a cleanup of tests/__init__.py.

What about the other @requires class decorators?

I wonder if this propagation to parent classes is a feature or a bug? Seems quite messy to me

What about the other @requires class decorators?

I had this thought too. We don't decorate too many classes but I image we have other issues.

I wonder if this propagation to parent classes is a feature or a bug?

I would think this is a bug. I'm working on a simplified example to report this to pytest.

Thanks for taking this on!

I wonder if it might work to use pytest's importorskip inside the roundtrip() methods?

xarray/tests/__init__.py

+has_h5netcdf, requires_h5netcdf = _importorskip('h5netcdf')
+has_pynio, requires_pynio = _importorskip('pynio')
+has_dask, requires_dask = _importorskip('dask')
+has_bottleneck, requires_bottleneck = _importorskip('bottleneck', '1.0')


bottleneck 1.0 came out in Feb 2015. I'm not sure it's worth having the version check here.

xarray/tests/test_backends.py

                yield ds

+    @requires_scipy
+    @requires_pynio


I don't think this is enough -- the other methods defined on super-classes should also need pynio to pass for this TestCase. Looking at the test log on Travis, I see a lot of xfail and XPASS test cases, so maybe they are getting disabled by something else?

totally agree, this move does fix most of the issues but there are some additional issues. Now that we know what the problem is and have confirmation that this is a bug from the pytest team, I'll work on a more robust solution.

Maybe it's worth trying the work-around from pytest-dev/pytest#568 (comment)

This gets us quite close but doesn't allow us to have use multiple decorators at once. I'll keep digging.

shoyer · 2017-10-02T16:12:22Z

Another option is to give up on class decorators and only use a method decorator -- which we could even write ourselves if necessary. We have most of us backend specific logic in a few helper functions that we override for each subclass, so we only really need to decorate those, e.g.,

def conditional_skip(condition, reason=''):
    def wrapped(*args, **kwargs):
        if condition:
            raise unittest.SkipTest(reason)
        return wrapped(*args, **kwargs)
    return wrapped

class NetCDFSubclassTest(UnitTest):
    ...
    @contextmanager
    @conditional_skip(...)
    def roundtrip(self):
        ...

Looks great, thank you!

Can we note this as "Bug fix", since this is probably relevant to redistributors?

+def _importorskip(modname, minversion=None):
+    try:
+        mod = importlib.import_module(modname)
+        has = True


put everything from here on down an the else clause

Yes, I'm afraid so. It's probably an h5py issue -- not really clear what's going on.

remove redundant parentheses around (not has).

Looks great, thanks!

+  - Fix bug when using ``pytest`` class decorators to skiping certain unittests.
+    The previous behavior unintentionally causing additional tests to be skipped.
+    A temporary work-around has been applied in :issue:`1531`.


This is temporary for xarray, but from a user (or distributor) perspective the bug is fixed. I would probably drop that part.

jhamman

I don't think this is ready to merge. I have a few small syntax/cleanup things to fix but more importantly, the TestPyNioAutocloseTrue test class is not being skipped correctly.

This doesn't seem to be working. I'll try to come up with something else but if anyone has any ideas for how to get around this, I'm all ears.

Does it work if you hand-write the test-skipping decorator to raise unittest.SkipTest rather than relying on pytest.mark.skipif?

shoyer · 2017-10-04T00:50:40Z

xarray/tests/test_plot.py


 class TestPlot(PlotTestCase):

+    @requires_matplotlib


We don't need to move the requires_matplotlib decorator, since we don't rely on inheritance for enabling/disabling tests.

@shoyer - ready for a final review. Turns out, we can just use the unittest decorators. Basically no changes to the test code base :).

shoyer

Even better, thank you!

can you briefly elaborate on why pytest.skip doesn't work? a link to this issue would be heplful.
