About
-----

Flaky is a plugin for nose or pytest that automatically reruns flaky tests.

Ideally, tests reliably pass or fail, but sometimes test fixtures must rely on components that aren't 100%
reliable. With flaky, instead of removing those tests or marking them to @skip, they can be automatically
retried.

For more information about flaky, see `this presentation <http://opensource.box.com/flaky/>`_.

Marking tests flaky
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To mark a test as flaky, simply import flaky and decorate the test with @flaky:

.. code-block:: python

from flaky import flaky

.. code-block:: python

@flaky
def test_something_that_usually_passes(self):
value_to_double = 21
result = get_result_from_flaky_doubler(value_to_double)
self.assertEqual(result, value_to_double * 2, 'Result doubled incorrectly.')

By default, flaky will retry a failing test once, but that behavior can be overridden by passing values to the
flaky decorator. It accepts two parameters: max_runs, and min_passes; flaky will run tests up to max_runs times, until
it has succeeded min_passes times. Once a test passes min_passes times, it's considered a success; once it has been
run max_runs times without passing min_passes times, it's considered a failure.

.. code-block:: python

@flaky(max_runs=3, min_passes=2)
def test_something_that_usually_passes(self):
"""This test must pass twice, and it can be run up to three times."""
value_to_double = 21
result = get_result_from_flaky_doubler(value_to_double)
self.assertEqual(result, value_to_double * 2, 'Result doubled incorrectly.')

Marking a class flaky
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In addition to marking a single test flaky, entire test cases can be marked flaky:

.. code-block:: python

@flaky
class TestMultipliers(TestCase):
def test_flaky_doubler(self):
value_to_double = 21
result = get_result_from_flaky_doubler(value_to_double)
self.assertEqual(result, value_to_double * 2, 'Result doubled incorrectly.')

@flaky(max_runs=3)
def test_flaky_tripler(self):
value_to_triple = 14
result = get_result_from_flaky_tripler(value_to_triple)
self.assertEqual(result, value_to_triple * 3, 'Result tripled incorrectly.')

The @flaky class decorator will mark test_flaky_doubler as flaky, but it won't override the 3 max_runs
for test_flaky_tripler (from the decorator on that test method).

Don't rerun certain types of failures
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Depending on your tests, some failures are obviously not due to flakiness. Instead of rerunning
after those failures, you can specify a filter function that can tell flaky to fail the test right away.

.. code-block:: python

def is_not_crash(err, *args):
return not issubclass(err[0], ProductCrashedError)

@flaky
def test_something():
raise ProductCrashedError

@flaky(rerun_filter=is_not_crash)
def test_something_else():
raise ProductCrashedError

Flaky will run `test_something` twice, but will only run `test_something_else` once.

It can also be used to incur a delay between test retries:

.. code-block:: python

import time

def delay_rerun(*args):
time.sleep(1)
return True

@flaky(rerun_filter=delay_rerun)
def test_something_else():
...

Activating the plugin
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Like any nose plugin, flaky can be activated via the command line:

.. code-block:: console

nosetests --with-flaky

With pytest, flaky will automatically run. It can, however be disabled via the command line:

.. code-block:: console

pytest -p no:flaky

Command line arguments
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

No Flaky Report
+++++++++++++++

Pass ``--no-flaky-report`` to suppress the report at the end of the run detailing flaky test results.

Shorter Flaky Report
++++++++++++++++++++

Pass ``--no-success-flaky-report`` to suppress information about successful flaky tests.

Force Flaky
+++++++++++

Pass ``--force-flaky`` to treat all tests as flaky.

Pass ``--max-runs=MAX_RUNS`` and/or ``--min-passes=MIN_PASSES`` to control the behavior of flaky if ``--force-flaky``
is specified. Flaky decorators on individual tests will override these defaults.


*Additional usage examples are in the code - see test/test_example.py*

Installation
------------

To install, simply:

.. code-block:: console

pip install flaky


Compatibility
-------------

Flaky is tested with the following test runners and options:

- Nosetests. Doctests cannot be marked flaky.

- Py.test. Works with `pytest-xdist` but not with the `--boxed` option. Doctests cannot be marked flaky.


Contributing
------------

See `CONTRIBUTING.rst <https://github.com/box/flaky/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.rst>`_.


Setup
~~~~~

Create a virtual environment and install packages -

.. code-block:: console

mkvirtualenv flaky
pip install -r requirements-dev.txt


Testing
~~~~~~~

Run all tests using -

.. code-block:: console

tox

The tox tests include code style checks via pep8 and pylint.
