This release comes with the following fixes and features:</p> <ul class="simple"> <li>make “-k” option accept an expressions the same as with “-m” so that one can write: -k “name1 or name2” etc. This is a slight usage incompatibility if you used special syntax like “TestClass.test_method” which you now need to write as -k “TestClass and test_method” to match a certain method in a certain test class.</li> <li>allow to dynamically define markers via item.keywords[...]=assignment integrating with “-m” option</li> <li>yielded test functions will now have autouse-fixtures active but cannot accept fixtures as funcargs - it’s anyway recommended to rather use the post-2.0 parametrize features instead of yield, see: <a class="reference external" href="http://pytest.org/latest/example/parametrize.html">http://pytest.org/latest/example/parametrize.html</a></li> <li>fix autouse-issue where autouse-fixtures would not be discovered if defined in a a/conftest.py file and tests in a/tests/test_some.py</li> <li>fix issue226 - LIFO ordering for fixture teardowns</li> <li>fix issue224 - invocations with >256 char arguments now work</li> <li>fix issue91 - add/discuss package/directory level setups in example</li> <li>fixes related to autouse discovery and calling</li> </ul> <p>Thanks in particular to Thomas Waldmann for spotting and reporting issues.</p> <p>See</p> <blockquote> <div><a class="reference external" href="http://pytest.org/">http://pytest.org/</a></div></blockquote> <p>for general information.
