This extension allows you to run your Python Unittest, Pytest or Testplantests with the Test Explorer UI.
Run Code is provided by the extension Code Runner, which will only show result in OUTPUT and not accept input. While Run Python File in Terminal is provided by Python extension, it will open a terminal panel in which your Python interpreter is automatically activated, then runs python3 hello.py (macOS/Linux) or python hello.py (Windows). Running Python Scripts ¶. Create and select your python environment (See the instructions here.) Create a new file via ctrl+N. Press ctrl+s to save the file and give it a name with.py extension. Write down your python code in the file. Press ctrl+alt+N to run the code via Code Runner. Vanavil tamil software free. download full version. You should see your results in the integrated terminal 🛬. Python extensions support code completion and Intellisense. Intellisense is a general term for a number of features, including intelligent code completion (in-context method and variable suggestions) across all your files and for built-in and thirty-party modules.
Getting started
- Install the extension
- Configure Visual Studio Code to discover your tests(see Configuration section and documentation of a test framework of your choice:
- Open Test View sidebar
- Run your tests using the icon in the Test Explorer
- Use shortcut Ctrl+Alt+N. Or press F1 and then select/type Run Code, or right click the Text Editor and then click Run Code in editor context menu. Or click Run Code button in editor title menu. Or click Run Code button in context menu of file explorer.
- Run Python program in visual studio code on windows operating system.Hey, guys in this video I'm going to show you how you can configure visual studio code (.
Features
- Shows a Test Explorer in the Test view in VS Code's sidebar with all detected tests and suites and their state
- Convenient error reporting during test discovery
- Unittest, Pytest and Testplan debugging
- Shows a failed test's log when the test is selected in the explorer
- Re-run tests on save
- Supports multi-root workspaces
- Supports Unittest, Pytest and Testplan test frameworks and their plugins
Comparison to Python extension's Test View
- Better error reporting during the discovery stage. In case of errors, you will see such tests in an errored state, and by clicking on them, a complete error message would be shown in the Output panel. Python Extension, at best, won't show your tests that contain errors (syntax errors and invalid imports, for example).
- Works better with pytest plugins - Tavern, for example. Python Extension won't discover these tests.
- Based on Test Explorer UI. This fact may be useful if you have a workspace with projects in different languages/frameworks. Test Explorer UI has a lot of plugins, and you can conveniently discover and run tests at the same View.
- Shows you errors and a complete output of your tests just by clicking on a failed test.
- Shows only relevant folders from your workspace. Showing all workspace folders, as the Python Extension is doing, can be an issue when you have multiple workspace folders, but only a couple of them have any tests.
- There might be some configurations when this extension will discover and run your tests, but Python Extension - won't.
- User experience with both extensions is highly subjective. However, you might like the user interface of this extension better. Also, each discovery, test execution, and test cancellation won't require you to select a folder when you have multiple in your workspace.
Configuration
By default the extension uses the configuration from Python extension for Visual Studio Code.To configure Python for your project see Getting Started with Python in VS Code.
However, test framework used by this extension can be overridden by pythonTestExplorer.testFramework
configuration property.Right now, the two available option are unittest
, pytest
and testplan
. When property is set to null
, the configuration from Python extension is used.
Configuring Python test discovery and execution
List of currently used properties:
Property | Description |
---|---|
python.pythonPath | Path to Python. |
python.envFile | Path to environment variable definitions file. |
python.testing.cwd | Optional working directory for unit tests. |
python.testing.unittestEnabled | Whether to enable or disable unit testing using unittest (enables or disables test discovery for Test Explorer). |
python.testing.unittestArgs | Arguments used for test discovery (currently only -s and -p arguments are considered). |
python.testing.pyTestEnabled | Whether to enable or disable unit testing using pytest (enables or disables test discovery for Test Explorer). |
python.testing.pytestPath | Path to pytest executable or a pytest compatible module. |
python.testing.pyTestArgs | Arguments passed to the pytest. Each argument is a separate item in the array. |
python.testing.autoTestDiscoverOnSaveEnabled | When true tests will be automatically rediscovered when saving a test file. |
pythonTestExplorer.testFramework | Test framework to use (overrides Python extension properties python.testing.unittestEnabled and python.testing.pyTestEnabled ). |
pythonTestExplorer.testplanPath | Relative path to testplan main suite. |
pythonTestExplorer.testplanArgs | Arguments passed in. Each argument is a separate item in the array. |
pythonTestExplorer.testplanEnabled | Enable testing using Testplan. Note that Testplan is only supported for Python 3.7+. |
Configuration supports placeholders for workspace folder as ${workspaceFolder}
and environment variables in a form of ${env:YOUR_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE}
.
Configuring Test Explorer UI
The following configuration properties are provided by Test Explorer UI:
Property | Description |
---|---|
testExplorer.onStart | Retire or reset all test states whenever a test run is started |
testExplorer.onReload | Retire or reset all test states whenever the test tree is reloaded |
testExplorer.codeLens | Show a CodeLens above each test or suite for running or debugging the tests |
testExplorer.gutterDecoration | Show the state of each test in the editor using Gutter Decorations |
testExplorer.errorDecoration | Show error messages from test failures as decorations in the editor |
testExplorer.errorDecorationHover | Provide hover messages for the error decorations in the editor |
testExplorer.sort | Sort the tests and suites by label or location. If this is not set (or set to null), they will be shown in the order that they were received from the adapter |
testExplorer.showCollapseButton | Show a button for collapsing the nodes of the test tree |
testExplorer.showExpandButton | Show a button for expanding the top nodes of the test tree, recursively for the given number of levels |
testExplorer.showOnRun | Switch to the Test Explorer view whenever a test run is started |
testExplorer.addToEditorContextMenu | Add menu items for running and debugging the tests in the current file to the editor context menu |
testExplorer.mergeSuites | Merge suites with the same label and parent |
testExplorer.hideEmptyLog | Hide the output channel used to show a test's log when the user clicks on a test whose log is empty |
testExplorer.hideWhen | Hide the Test Explorer when no test adapters have been registered or when no tests have been found by the registered adapters. The default is to never hide the Test Explorer (some test adapters only work with this default setting). |
See Test Explorer UI documentation for the latest changes in configuration.

1. Disable duplicated Code Lenses
Test Explorer UI provides a set of Code Lenses to run and debug tests. However, the Python extension also provides a set of its own. As of now, there are no way to disable Code Lenses from the Python extension, see https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python/issues/10898. If you use only Python Test Explorer to run your tests, you can disable testing functionality by the Python extension with the following settings
2. How to use this extesion to run Django tests?
You can use pytest to discover and run Django tests with this extension. For this, install pytest-django
package and follow its Getting started guide. Acrok video converter crack for mac.

3. How to re-run tests on save?
How to download free adobe flash player for mac. Test Explorer UI allows to run tests on saving files in a workspace. To enable autorun, right-click on a test suite and select 'Enable autorun'. After that, any changes to files in a workspace will re-execute tests when files are saved. See the example below.
You can enable autorun for all tests by clicking on three dots in the Test explorer UI bar.
Troubleshooting
Whether no tests were discovered in the Test Explorer view or anything else doesn't work as expected, you can see logging output selecting Python Test Adapter Log
in the Output section.
