Migrate to pytest

Open MarcSkovMadsen opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

I would like to contribute an (ibis) test to hvplot. When I look at testnetworkx.py I can see this framework is using unittest!

Everyone uses pytest these days and have been for a long time. It would make it so much easier for contributors if hvplot was using pytest.

Please convert this project to pytest. Thanks.

The test suite is actually being executed by pytest so contributors are free and encouraged to write pytest-flavored tests. Migrating the test suite to pytest would be a good thing for contributors, as it's likely they're used to it.

For what it's worth I know at least two projects that don't use pytest but unittest. There's Numba, and CPython itself!

@MarcSkovMadsen please do not assign milestones directly on hvPlot, I prefer to do that manually to keep track of that.
