C++ tests not collected due to '*_test' mask on Windows about pytest-cpp HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi @1fabrism!

Hmmm weird. It should be able to run normal python test files alongside C++ test files without a problem.

You have both generator_demo_test.py and generator_demo_test.exe in the same directory, perhaps that might be the problem? Can you rename generator_demo_test.exe to something else (say my_demo_test.exe) and see if that makes a difference?

Also, any ideas about those warnings?

You can ignore those, I need to make a new pytest-cpp release to make it compatible with pytest>=5.4. 👍

Hi @nicoddemus, thanks for the help!

I tried renaming generator_demo_test.exe to my_generator_demo.exe but it made no difference. I also tried moving the .exe file to a child folder but that made no difference either.
What did make a difference was renaming the exe to test_demo.exe. After doing that and running again py.test --collect-only it found everything, even with the .exe file still inside the child folder:

collected 4 items
<Module generator_demo_test.py>
  <Function test_vout>
  <Function test_samples>
<CppFile captured_signals/test_demo.exe>
  <CppItem Addition_TEST_SUITE.AdderTest_SIMPLE>
  <CppItem Addition_TEST_SUITE.AdderTest_COMPLEX>

So I guess there is somewhere a setting for what pytest-cpp is looking for (indeed as mentioned in the ReadMe), however I'm still not sure where that file is...

Ahh OK I see what's happening.

The default masks are test_* and *_test.

*_test won't match generator_demo_test.exe on Windows because of the .exe extension, but test_* will, because * will match the extension.

On Windows we probably should add .exe explicitly to the masks here:

I will update the description.

Thanks for finding and reporting this!

1.2.1 released with this fix. 👍
