can you please use --numprocesses it's more explicit and I'm trying to get upstream ci-helpers to detect that to auto install pytest-xdist.

Sure. I'll just let this build complete and then push.

@kain88-de That doesn't work. I don't think there is anything like --numprocesses

utkbansal · 2017-06-21T19:44:57Z

@kain88-de Should be ready to merge. No drop in coverage.

richardjgowers

Looks like coverage isn't working in parallel

Coverage.py warning: Module MDAnalysis was never imported. (module-not-imported)

Coverage.py warning: No data was collected. (no-data-collected)

utkbansal · 2017-06-22T13:38:04Z

This is weird, I think I saw no drop in coverage last night. Let me cross check.

utkbansal · 2017-06-22T14:23:52Z

I wonder how pytest shows the percentage of coverage when it did not collect data.

utkbansal · 2017-06-22T16:44:30Z

@richardjgowers @jbarnoud @kain88-de @mnmelo I have a wild theory - the warnings might just be meaningless.

I ran pytest on the lib module with coverage, once serially and once in parallel - both times the coverage reported was the same. I assumed that the difference might be too small and it might be a round off error since the coverage was an integer.

So, I ran the coordinates module - because it is large in terms of the number of tests. The reasoning was that the difference in coverage would be larger and there should be a tangible difference even after rounding off to the nearest integer. I still got the same coverage in both cases - 41%

Commands I used -

Parallel: py.test --cov=MDAnalysis coordinates --cov-report=html -q --disable-pytest-warnings -n 2
Serial: py.test --cov=MDAnalysis coordinates --cov-report=html -q --disable-pytest-warnings

Can someone run these commands locally (off the port coordinates PR) and confirm my findings?

utkbansal · 2017-06-22T17:35:38Z

So the build passed. The coverage is still at 88.837% Was there a drop? The button on the README file shows the same number.

Could you please remove the version pinning. I'm trying to get everything updated to we can take use of ci-helpers magic to autoinstall things for us. You should be able to remove the pytest explicit dependency as well.

I'm hijacking this PR to clean up some installations of pytest.

utkbansal · 2017-06-23T15:04:18Z

@kain88-de @jbarnoud @richardjgowers I don't really like the way pytest displays its output (listing each file and the other stuff). I'd like it to be more like what nose does currently. Can I add the -q flag to minimize the noise?

richardjgowers

Yeah, looks like we are getting two coverage reports, despite being told for the pytest version that we didn't gather coverage. Maybe it's a screw up between the parallel processes in pytest not communicating with each other.

@utkbansal you should also be able to drop the pytest-cov package as an explicit dependency. See astropy/ci-helpers#216

So here do we need to list pytest-cov? And don't we need to list pytest?

richardjgowers · 2017-06-24T11:26:18Z

@utkbansal rebase this and we're good to go

utkbansal · 2017-06-24T11:55:26Z

@richardjgowers The rebase for this depends on what we want to do about #1414

It wasn't supposed to be merged yet.

Should I open a new PR for the coordinates module and fix coverage in that? Then I can drop coordinates from NOSE_TEST_LIST here
Or if we will revert Port coordinates module #1414 then, I have to drop coordinates from PYTEST_TEST_LIST.

utkbansal · 2017-06-24T12:06:29Z

@richardjgowers @jbarnoud @kain88-de Something has gone wrong while merging my PRs.

All the builds on the develop branch and my PR are failing with the following error -

import MDAnalysis as mda
E     File "/Users/utkbansal/Code/mdanalysis/package/MDAnalysis/__init__.py", line 148
E       import logging
E            ^
E   SyntaxError: invalid syntax

jbarnoud · 2017-06-24T12:13:09Z

@kain88-de @richardjgowers This is the commit responsible for the error. Line 146 of __init__.py is broken.

jbarnoud · 2017-06-24T12:14:15Z

I forgot to paste the link to the commit: d99abba

richardjgowers · 2017-06-24T12:45:24Z

We won't revert 1414

utkbansal · 2017-06-25T10:15:53Z

This should be ready too once the build completes.

richardjgowers · 2017-06-25T10:36:34Z

@utkbansal needs a rebase thanks to utils

utkbansal · 2017-06-25T11:13:09Z

Now how did utils slip away!

richardjgowers

This reverts utils

utkbansal · 2017-06-25T11:19:10Z

@richardjgowers Got it back.

utkbansal · 2017-06-25T13:02:53Z

@richardjgowers Looks good to go. The full build fails due to the time limit though.
