Pytest – no tests ran

Question:

I’m using pytest and selenium. When I try run my test script:

import pytest
from selenium import webdriver
from pages import *
from locators import *
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
import time

class RegisterNewInstructor:
    def setup_class(cls):
        cls.driver = webdriver.Firefox()
        cls.driver.get("http://mytest.com")

    def test_01_clickBecomeTopButtom(self):
        page = HomePage(self.driver)
        page.click_become_top_button()
        self.assertTrue(page.check_instructor_form_page_loaded())


    def teardown_class(cls):
        cls.driver.close()

The message shown is: no tests ran in 0.84 seconds

Could someone help me run this simple test?

Answers:

Did you execute the class itself?
I don’t see in this code you are showing that you call the class or definitions to run.

For example, in python you run a class or definition like this:

class Hello():
    # __init__ is a definition runs itself. 
    def __init__(self): 
        print('Hello there')
        # Call another definition. 
        self.andBye()

    # This definition should be calles in order to be executed. 
    def andBye(self):
        print('Goodbye')

# Run class 
Hello()

According to the pytest test conventions, your class should start with Test to be automatically picked up by the test discovery mechanism. Call it TestRegisterNewInstructor instead.

Or, subclass the unittest.TestCase:

import unittest

class RegisterNewInstructor(unittest.TestCase):
    # ...

Also keep in mind that the .py test script itself must begin with test_ or end with _test in its filename.

try add @classmethod on the top of setUP and tearDown.

As simple as it looks:

  1. Make sure that your file name matches the pattern: test_*.py or *_test.py.
  2. Make sure that your function name starts with the test prefix.

If you use conda environment, don’t forget to activate it!
