This PR is intended to make the all the different xfail behaviors work (including pytest xfail and unittest.expectedFailure) and be consistent with the TAP specification.
Here's the truth table that I expect.
unitest.expectedFailure
ok 1 test_name # TODO unexpected success
unitest.expectedFailure
not ok 1 test_name # TODO expected failure
pytest.mark.xfail(strict=False reason='the reason')
ok 1 test_name # TODO unexpected success: the reason
pytest.mark.xfail(strict=False reason='the reason')
not ok 1 test_name # TODO expected failure: the reason
pytest.mark.xfail(strict=True reason='the reason')
not ok 1 test_name # unexpected success: [XPASS(strict)] the reason
pytest.mark.xfail(strict=True reason='the reason')
not ok 1 test_name # TODO expected failure: the reason
Based on that truth table, there are a number of things in the plugin that need to change.
unittest.expectedFailure
is backwards currently compared to the table. Fixing this will bring the behavior in line withTAPTestResult
from tappy.TODO
, but it should be treated as a non-TODO failure.To accept your contribution, please complete the checklist below.
Fixes #55 (eventually)
