However, for <a class="reference external" href="https://pypi.python.org/pypi/mirakuru/">mirakuru</a>, which we use to govern processes in tests, and by extension <a class="reference external" href="https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pytest-dbfixtures/">pytest-dbfixtures</a>, which has predefined process fixtures for pytest, we wanted to run tests also on osx. Travis.ci for a long time had option to configure osx workers and linux, however python builds on osx are kind of broken by default.</p> <p>Travis.ci has a long standing <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/travis-ci/travis-ci/issues/2312">bug report</a> for this issue, which will get 2 years old in this May. Apparently, just setting python as a language and osx among the system to test on won't work for apple's operating system.</p> <p><a href="https://fizyk.dev/blog/running-python-tests-on-traviss-osx-workers/">Read more…</a> (2 min remaining to read)</p></div>osxpythonteststravishttps://fizyk.dev/blog/running-python-tests-on-traviss-osx-workers/Sun, 20 Mar 2016 20:44:55 GMT
