pytest-faulthandler

library2.0.1pypypiunverified

pytest plugin that activates the faulthandler module during tests, enabling tracebacks for segfaults and crashes. Version 2.0.1 is a dummy package that no longer does anything because faulthandler is built into Python 3.3+. The plugin is effectively obsolete.

pytest_faulthandler

✓ do not import; plugin auto-activates when installed

✗ import pytest_faulthandler

The plugin is a pytest plugin; importing it directly is unnecessary and may cause errors.

Install and run pytest. The plugin automatically activates the fault handler.

# No special setup is needed; just install the package and run pytest. # The fault handler will be activated automatically for Python < 3.3. # For Python >= 3.3, faulthandler is built-in, so this plugin is a no-op. # Example: run pytest normally # pytest test_example.py

Debug

Known issues

deprecatedpytest-faulthandler is obsolete for Python 3.3+ because faulthandler is part of the standard library. The package is now a dummy that does nothing.

fix

For Python 3.3+, remove the dependency. If you need fault handler tracebacks, use PYTHONFAULTHANDLER=1 or call faulthandler.enable() in conftest.py.

affects: >=2.0.0

breakingVersion 2.0.0 changed the package to a dummy that does nothing, breaking any tests that relied on the plugin's behavior (though normally it was transparent).

fix

Remove the dependency entirely for Python >=3.3; the built-in faulthandler module handles all cases.

affects: >=2.0.0

gotchaInstalling pytest-faulthandler on Python < 3.3 may still attempt to install the real faulthandler package from PyPI, which is no longer maintained.

fix

Pin to Python 3.3+ or avoid using this plugin entirely.

affects: any
