`python3 setup.py test` fails

[risner]

File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/unittest/loader.py", line 205, in loadTestsFromName
test = obj()
TypeError: run_program() missing 3 required positional arguments: 'program', 'args', and 'operator_lookup'

Are tests not wired/written for setup.py yet?

Correct, tests aren't wired for setup.py. Using py.test tests works for now. A PR to connect the two would be great.

Thanks for the reply. I’m afraid I’m more a perl/php/C programmer than python. I’ve spent endless hours trying to read python code and have made virtually no progress. So It’d take me weeks to be able to do so. Risner

Hi! I guess the most "ad hoc" way to do this is to add test_suite="tests" inside setup() (thanks SO), as well as adding the version as being said in issue #93 . However, doing setup.py test is deprecated according to pypa/setuptools#1684 .

Another Edit: pytest can be connected to setup.py via pytest-runner. However this time, the command is setup.py pytest (not test). So, test or pytest (or both)? Take note that pytest-runner is also deprecated according to https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-runner/ .
