NAME¶
tox - virtualenv-based automation of test activities
SYNOPSIS¶
tox [options] [args ...]
DESCRIPTION¶
tox is a generic virtualenv management and test command line tool you can use for:
- checking your package installs correctly with different Python versions and interpreters
- running your tests in each of the environments, configuring your test tool of choice
- acting as a frontend to Continuous Integration servers, greatly reducing boilerplate and merging CI and shell-based testing.
OPTIONS¶
positional arguments:¶
- args
- additional arguments available to command positional substitution (default: None)
optional arguments:¶
- --version
- report version information to stdout. (default: False)
- -h, --help
- show help about options (default: False)
- --help-ini, --hi
- show help about ini-names (default: False)
- -v
- increase verbosity of reporting output.-vv mode turns off output redirection for package installation, above level two verbosity flags are passed through to pip (with two less level) (default: 0)
- -q
- progressively silence reporting output. (default: 0)
- --showconfig
- show configuration information for all environments. (default: False)
- -l, --listenvs
- show list of test environments (with description if verbose) (default: False)
- -a, --listenvs-all
- show list of all defined environments (with description if verbose) (default: False)
- -c CONFIGFILE
- config file name or directory with 'tox.ini' file. (default: None)
- -e envlist
- work against specified environments (ALL selects all). (default: None)
- --notest
- skip invoking test commands. (default: False)
- --sdistonly
- only perform the sdist packaging activity. (default: False)
- -p VAL, --parallel VAL
- run tox environments in parallel, the argument controls limit: all, auto - cpu count, some positive number, zero is turn off (default: 0)
- -o, --parallel-live
- connect to stdout while running environments (default: False)
- --parallel--safe-build
- (deprecated) ensure two tox builds can run in parallel (uses a lock file in the tox workdir with .lock extension) (default: False)
- --installpkg PATH
- use specified package for installation into venv, instead of creating an sdist. (default: None)
- --develop
- install package in the venv using 'setup.py develop' via 'pip -e .' (default: False)
- -i URL, --index-url URL
- set indexserver url (if URL is of form name=url set the url for the 'name' indexserver, specifically) (default: None)
- --pre
- install pre-releases and development versions of dependencies. This will pass the --pre option to install_command (pip by default). (default: False)
- -r, --recreate
- force recreation of virtual environments (default: False)
- --result-json PATH
- write a json file with detailed information about all commands and results involved. (default: None)
- --hashseed SEED
- set PYTHONHASHSEED to SEED before running commands. Defaults to a random integer in the range [1, 4294967295] ([1, 1024] on Windows). Passing 'noset' suppresses this behavior. (default: None)
- --force-dep REQ
- Forces a certain version of one of the dependencies when configuring the virtual environment. REQ Examples 'pytest<2.7' or 'django>=1.6'. (default: None)
- --sitepackages
- override sitepackages setting to True in all envs (default: False)
- --alwayscopy
- override alwayscopy setting to True in all envs (default: False)
- -s [val], --skip-missing-interpreters [val]
- don't fail tests for missing interpreters: {config,true,false} choice (default: config)
- --workdir PATH
- tox working directory (default: None)
