.. deprecated:: 7.2.0
Support for running tests written for `nose `__ is now deprecated.
+
`nose` has been in maintenance mode-only for years, and maintaining the plugin is not trivial as it spills
over the code base (see :issue:`9886` for more details).
+setup/teardown
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+One thing that might catch users by surprise is that plain ``setup`` and ``teardown`` methods are not pytest native,
+they are in fact part of the ``nose`` support.
+
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ class Test:
+ def setup(self):
+ self.resource = make_resource()
+
+ def teardown(self):
+ self.resource.close()
+
+ def test_foo(self):
+ ...
+
+ def test_bar(self):
+ ...
+
+
+
+Native pytest support uses ``setup_method`` and ``teardown_method`` (see :ref:`xunit-method-setup`), so the above should be changed to:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ class Test:
+ def setup_method(self):
+ self.resource = make_resource()
+
+ def teardown_method(self):
+ self.resource.close()
+
+ def test_foo(self):
+ ...
+
+ def test_bar(self):
+ ...
+
+
+@with_setup
+^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Code using `@with_setup `_ will also need to be ported to a supported
+pytest style:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ from nose.tools import with_setup
+
+
+ def setup_some_resource():
+ ...
+
+
+ def teardown_some_resource():
+ ...
+
+
+ @with_setup(setup_some_resource, teardown_some_resource)
+ def test_foo():
+ ...
+
+One way to do it is using a fixture:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ import pytest
+
+
+ def setup_some_resource():
+ ...
+
+
+ def teardown_some_resource():
+ ...
+
+
+ @pytest.fixture
+ def some_resource():
+ setup_some_resource()
+ yield
+ teardown_some_resource()
+
+
+ def test_foo(some_resource):
+ ...
