Flake8-AAA¶
A linter for Python tests.
- Pytest and unittest styles supported.
- Tests are linted against the Arrange Act Assert pattern.
- Provides a Flake8 interface to automatically lint test files as part of your Flake8 run.
- Provides a command line interface for custom (non-Flake8) usage and debugging.
Integration with Flake8¶
Given that you already have Flake8 installed in the same environment, check
that Flake8-AAA was installed correctly by asking flake8
for its version
signature:
$ flake8 --version
3.6.0 (aaa: 0.4.0, mccabe: 0.6.1, pycodestyle: 2.4.0, pyflakes: 2.0.0) CPython 3.6.7 on Linux
The (aaa: 0.4.0, ...
part of that output tells you flake8
found this
plugin. Now you can run flake8
as usual against your project and Flake8-AAA
will lint your tests via its plugin:
$ flake8
