Incompatible changes

Prepend the class name to the default test name for test class methods. This fixes a potential name conflict, see #6.

If your code uses test classes and you reference test methods by their default name, you must add the class name. E.g. if you have something like:

class TestClass(object):

    @pytest.mark.dependency()
    def test_a():
        pass

    @pytest.mark.dependency(depends=["test_a"])
    def test_b():
        pass

you need to change this to:

class TestClass(object):

    @pytest.mark.dependency()
    def test_a():
        pass

    @pytest.mark.dependency(depends=["TestClass::test_a"])
    def test_b():
        pass

If you override the test name in the pytest.mark.dependency() marker, nothing need to be changed.

Bug fixes and minor changes

#11: show the name of the skipped test. (Thanks asteriogonzalez!)
#13: Do not import pytest in setup.py to make it compatible with pipenv.
#15: tests fail with pytest 3.3.0.
#8: document incompatibility with parallelization in pytest-xdist.
Clarify in the documentation that Python 3.1 is not officially supported because pytest 2.8 does not support it. There is no known issue with Python 3.1 though.

New features

#2: Add documentation.
#4: Add a depend() function to add a dependency to a test at runtime.

0.1 (2017-01-29)

Initial release as an independent Python module.

This code was first developed as part of a larger package, python-icat, at Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie.
