1.0.0 (2020-03-03)

Important

  • live_server is now session-scoped by default. This can be changed by using the live-server_scope option in your pytest.ini (#113). Thanks @havok2063 for the initial patch and @TWood67 for finishing it up.
  • pytest 5.2 or later is now required.
  • Python 2.7 and 3.4 are no longer supported.

0.15.1 (2020-02-03)

  • Fix ImportError with Werkzeug 1.0.0rc1 (#105).

0.15.0 (2019-05-13)

  • Properly register the options marker (#97).

0.14.0 (2018-10-15)

  • New --live-server-host command-line option to set the host name used by the live_server fixture.

    Thanks @o1da for the PR (#90).

0.13.0 (2018-09-29)

  • JSONReponse now supports comparison directly with status codes:

    assert client.get('invalid-route', headers=[('Accept', 'application/json')]) == 404

    Thanks @dusktreader for the PR (#86).

0.12.0 (2018-09-06)

  • pytest-flask now requires pytest>=3.6 (#84).
  • Add new --live-server-port option to select the port the live server will use (#82). Thanks @RazerM for the PR.
  • Now live_server will try to stop the server cleanly by emitting a SIGINT signal and waiting 5 seconds for the server to shutdown. If the server is still running after 5 seconds, it will be forcefully terminated. This behavior can be changed by passing --no-live-server-clean-stop in the command-line (#49). Thanks @jadkik for the PR.
  • Internal fixes silence pytest warnings, more visible now with pytest-3.8.0 (#84).
