pytestify

✓ import pytestify

pytestify is used as a CLI tool, not typically imported in Python code.

Run from command line. Pass files or directories. Use --recursive for directories, --dry-run to preview.

# Convert a single file pytestify my_test_file.py # Convert a directory recursively pytestify tests/ --recursive # See what changes would be made without modifying files (dry run) pytestify my_test_file.py --dry-run

Debug

Known issues

gotchapytestify may not correctly handle complex assertions like assertAlmostEqual with custom delta, or assertRaises with custom exceptions. Always review the converted code.

fix

Manually verify conversions, especially edge cases with custom assertions.

affects: all

gotchaUsing --recursive on a large directory without --dry-run can modify many files unexpectedly.

fix

Always run with --dry-run first, then apply changes with --recursive only after reviewing.

affects: all

gotchapytestify converts assertTrue/assertFalse to `assert` but does not handle the opposite boolean logic correctly in all cases (e.g., assertFalse with complex expressions).

fix

Inspect converted assertFalse statements to ensure the negation is correct.

affects: all
