Nox

Flexible test automation with Python

Documentation: https://nox.readthedocs.io
Source Code: https://github.com/wntrblm/nox

Overview

nox is a command-line tool that automates testing in multiple Python environments, similar to tox. Unlike tox, Nox uses a standard Python file for configuration:

import nox


@nox.session
def tests(session: nox.Session) -> None:
    session.install("pytest")
    session.run("pytest")

@nox.session
def lint(session: nox.Session) -> None:
    session.install("flake8")
    session.run("flake8", "--import-order-style", "google")

Installation

Nox is designed to be installed globally (not in a project virtual environment), the recommended way of doing this is via pipx, a tool designed to install python CLI programs whilst keeping them separate from your global or system python.

To install Nox with pipx:

pipx install nox

You can also use pip in your global python:

python3 -m pip install nox

You may want to user the user-site to avoid messing with your Global python install:

python3 -m pip install --user nox

Usage

List all sessions

nox -l/--list

Run all sessions

nox

Run a particular session

nox -s/--session test
