Question: How is this different from tox-gh-actions?

[walles]

Not an issue but a question: How is this project different from https://github.com/ymyzk/tox-gh-actions?

Right now the other project has a lot more stars and forks than this one.

What would be the upside to using this GitHub action rather than tox-gh-actions?

[gaborbernat]

This plugin is only compatible with the upcoming tox 4 version. They both do the same(ish) thing but they have a bit different design philosophies. For details why we have to ymyzk/tox-gh-actions#74

Right now the other project has a lot more stars and forks than this one.

You're free to use either one you like.

Notably https://github.com/ymyzk/tox-gh-actions#examples has different configuration format than https://github.com/tox-dev/tox-gh#basic-example

I leave this issue here to document this.

@gaborbernat reading between the lines in ymyzk/tox-gh-actions#74, it seems like there isn't going to be much effort to bring these two project back together? Are you planning to fully support this plugin?

[gaborbernat]

Yes, there's no plan to unify the projects. I am planning on supporting this plugin (though is a community project, so PRs welcome).

Is there a way to replicate gh-action's env feature? I have this:

[tox]
envlist =
    py{37,38,39,310,311,312}-pytest{6,7,8}

[gh:env]
PYTEST_MAJOR_VERSION =
    6: pytest6
    7: pytest7
    8: pytest8

    - name: Run tests with PyTest 6
      run: tox
      env:
        PYTEST_MAJOR_VERSION: 6

Is there a (more modern, perhaps?) way to do that with this plugin?

[gaborbernat]

Is unclear to me what that is trying to do and how.

I was trying to move in pytest-dev/pytest-github-actions-annotate-failures#91. The idea is to be able to run just the "-pytestN" job but still keep the rest of the automatic selection.

[gaborbernat]

I do not think that is a feature we support today, but PR welcome.
