Notes about snapshot

Quick hint about snapshot. If you have many snapshots in your project and you need to change many with a code change, then you can run the tests without a snapshot change leading to an error, by set RAISE_SNAPSHOT_ERRORS=0 in your environment.

e.g.:

RAISE_SNAPSHOT_ERRORS=0 python3 -m unittest

Renew all snapshot files with:

make update-test-snapshot-files

v36 -> v37 - Outsourcing Django stuff

We split bx_py_utils and moved all Django related utilities into the separated project:

• https://github.com/boxine/bx_django_utils

So, bx_py_utils is better usable in non-Django projects, because Django will not installed as decency of "bx_py_utils"

developing

To start developing, just run make install to create a .venv and install all needed packages. The minimal requirements are only python3-venv and python3-pip (uv will be installed via pip in .venv)

e.g.:

~$ git clone https://github.com/boxine/bx_py_utils.git
~$ cd bx_py_utils
~/bx_py_utils$ make
help                       List all commands
install-base-req           Install needed base packages via apt
install                    Install the project in a Python virtualenv

lint                       Run code formatters and linter
fix-code-style             Fix code formatting
tox-listenvs               List all tox test environments
tox                        Run tests via tox with all environments
test                       Run tests
coverage                   Run tests with coverage
update-test-snapshot-files Update all snapshot files (by remove and recreate all snapshot files)
mypy                       Run mypy
pip-audit                  Run https://github.com/pypa/pip-audit
publish                    Release new version to PyPi
clean                      Remove created files from the test project
