pytest plugin for efficiently checking PEP8 compliance

Usage

Install it into a test environment, then run tests with the option.

.. code-block:: bash

pytest --flake8

Every file ending in .py will be discovered and checked with flake8.

.. note::

If optional flake8 plugins are installed, those will
be used automatically. No provisions have been made for
configuring these via `pytest`_.

.. warning::

Running flake8 tests on your project is likely to cause a number 
of issues. The plugin allows one to configure on a per-project and
per-file basis which errors or warnings to ignore, see
flake8-ignore_.

.. _flake8-ignore:

Configuring Flake8

See the Flake8 docs on configuring <https://flake8.pycqa.org/en/latest/user/configuration.html>_.

FAQs

All the Flake8 tests are skipping! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

By design, results are cached and only changed files are checked.

To bypass this caching mechanism, run the following command:

.. code-block:: bash

pytest --cache-clear --flake8

Run tests with tox (e.g. pipx run tox).

For more information, take a look at the skeleton <https://blog.jaraco.com/skeleton/>_.
