How are you running the tests? That file appears to be broken, but running the tests as documented shouldn't even try and run that?

probably running it the wrong way ;) Currently the spec file that builds the rpm does:

 python3 setup.py test

replacing this with "py.test" gives me the following error:

not sure what's wrong here.

The full build log for one of the architectures can be accessed here:
https://build.opensuse.org/build/home:apersaud:branches:devel:languages:python3/openSUSE_Factory/x86_64/python3-html5lib/_log

You need the requirements given in requirements-test.txt to run the tests.

added the dependiences: flake8 and pytest-expect were missing (pytest and mock were already included). Still getting the same error as above.
see for example:
https://build.opensuse.org/build/home:apersaud:branches:devel:languages:python3/openSUSE_Factory/i586/python3-html5lib/_log

thanks btw for the fast response ;)

If you're getting the same exception, then it looks like pytest-expect isn't installed. Note there are two packages called pytest-expect, because I suck. (That's gsnedders/pytest-expect#4. Though changing name on package indexes always seem pretty horrible, hence why I keep putting it off…)

(I just get "anonymous_user(Anonymous user is not allowed here - please login):" on the build pages, and until I feel a greater need (i.e., can't just give an answer like the above!) I'm gonna be lazy and not register!)

@arunpersaud did you ever get anywhere with this?

I was debugging test problems with the Debian packaging for html5lib. After switching from nose to py.test trying to run the tests generated a traceback until I added pytest-expect.

I'm still seeing the traceback from #279 (comment) even with pytest-expect present. There doesn't seem to be anything in the code that loads the expect plugin, py.test --trace-config doesn't list it in active plugins. And when added manually with py.test --trace-config -p pytest_expect, it is shown as active but the same traceback still appears.

Is there perhaps some magic option in your global pytest config that you're not telling us about? ;)

Travis at least manages fine, finding the plugin as soon as it is installed! I don't really know beyond that, honestly.

Looking at travis instructions actually helped.
Turns out the problem is that pytest-expect depends on u-msgpack-python, which gets pulled automatically when you install with pip, but not when you create dependencies manually in a package manager -- a limitation of our autoconverter tool.

And of course py.test runner hides the failure, surprisingly even in case when you explicitly request the plugin, which i suppose is a pytest bug...

Anyway, adding the missing dependency allows pytest to load the pytest-expect module, which in turn fixes the traceback. Thanks for your time and feel free to close the issue.

Hi

sorry for the responding, somehow slipped my radar :( Turns out it was the same problem as for matejclk, u-msgpack-python was missing, added it and now everything is working.

Thanks
