I hope it doesn't have some malware in the package!

The source should be in the *.whl and *.tar.gz: https://pypi.org/project/pytest-gitlab/0.3.1/#files

I found the sources now: https://gitlab.com/thht_science_software/pytest-gitlab

All looks good and in good faith. I just think it would make sense to have at least parts of that upstreamed back here and exposed along with the package. I've seen some libraries do this as well, providing their pytest plugins as a kind of public API.

Will reach out but not really a priority just yet :)

Yeah we could create a project under the namespace here. Maybe call it pytest-python-gitlab? or python-gitlab-pytest?

Sentry for example has sentry.testutils inside the package itself with a similar idea, so if we want to keep it lightweight we could even just move the reusable fixtures from our conftest and tests/ subdirs to gitlab/testing and then they get published along the package if add an entrypoint:

https://docs.pytest.org/en/stable/how-to/writing_plugins.html#making-your-plugin-installable-by-others

I've seen this pattern elsewhere but can't find other examples right now. But it would be the easiest for us and maybe also for the users (just one package to install).

We used to pack all our unit tests inside gitlab/ before migrating to pytest, so I'm sure people won't complain about a few extra KB 😀

Hey @thht 👋 I think that's you behind the pytest-gitlab project right?

Would you be interested in upstreaming some of the pytest plugin back here as part of the package? There's no rush and it's not a priority, just wanted to let you know before the projects diverge too much 🙇

Hello there!
Yes, that's me. And yes, it would be great to get the code upstream. I'm a bit short on time right now. I can either start a branch and PR beginning of next year or help/contribute if somebody else started the effort.

And the project basically does what you describe in your comment plus it adds some convenience things.

That's perfect @thht, thanks. I'll also probably be on vacation around that time and will be back mid-January so we can follow up then.
