Pleae do help me

Answer 1

The script appears to be wrong , as far as i know pytest.main can be used if you want your pytest should be run by python interpreter. You need have have your test under a directory. For example your pytest file is called test_sample which has following content ===================================pytests/test_sample===============================

    import pytest
    def func(x): return x + 1
    def test_answer(): assert func(3) == 5

================================================================================== Then you can have the following code in python file which runs your test_sample

   pytest.main(args=['-s', os.path.abspath('pytests')])

This should solve your problem

If you dont want python to run your pytests you can configure pyscripter runner to be run by pytests via tools-->configure tools and then add the pytests command line argument. you can then run you pytest from tools. By default pyscripter uses python interpreter as runner

Answer 2

You can use pytest in pydev :
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pytest-pydev/0.1

Answer 3

Seems like PyScripter sets some sys.stdout stream that pytest does not recognize. I just tried to refine the handling from pytest's side. You can try using it with:

pip install -i http://pypi.testrun.org -U pytest

which should in particular install also the "py" lib which contains the TerminalWriting code. If that doesn't work, please file an file with the exact environment/PyScripter version you are using. And also the value of "import py ; print py.version".

Answer 4

import pytest,os
os.chdir("C:\Users\Public\Documents\Development\Python\<test_pytest.py>") #your file location
pytest.main(['-s', 'test_pytest.py'])

save the file . On Pyscripter go to Run-->Python Engine--> Internal Run the test , it should work. Somtime pyscripter doesn't pick up the change, you may have to reinitialise the python engine (Ctrl+F2)
