[0.20.0] - 2024-05-09

Added

Fixture existing_db_factory to directly use database from databases subdirectory. It's not intended for use in Firebird QA, but it's necessary for other plugin users.

Fixed

Report test error also in cases when unexpected stderr is returned from tool execution while returncode is zero.
Select test marked for current platform also when it's not marked for Firebird version.

[0.19.3] - 2024-03-21

Fixed

Problem with ndiff in assert

[0.19.2] - 2024-02-20

Fixed

Remove fix for #21. The error was not caused by pytest 8.0, but by Error exception from firebird-base package that masked the absence of __notes__ attribute from pytest. Dependency to pytest reverted to >=7.4.

Changed

Updated documentation.

[0.19.1] - 2024-02-09

Fixed

Fix for #21. Dependency to pytest changed from >=8.0.0 to ~=7.4. Other dependecies changed from >= to ~=.

[0.19.0] - 2024-02-08

Changed

Switch from setuptools to hatch.
Updated dependencies.

[0.18.0] - 2023-02-14

Added

Added cache for empty databases. This works transparently and does not require any special configuration. Databases are stored in dbcache subdirectory (created automatically) for combination of ODS + page size + SQL dialect + character set.

Files in dbcache directory could be removed as needed (including whole directory) to fore creation of new database.

Cache is enabled by default. Use new --disable-db-cache option to disable it.

[0.17.3] - 2023-02-14

Added

Added --driver-config option to specify different filename for driver configuration.

[0.17.2] - 2023-01-17

Fixed

Trace session support in plugin now uses service query with timeout (provided by firebird-driver 1.8.0) and terminates the trace thread gracefuly even if terminating trace session fails.

[0.17.1] - 2022-11-21

Added

When database initialization script fails, the XML output is extended with dbinit-stderr property that contains stderr output with errors reported by ISQL.

Fixed

Uregistered bug in trace.TraceConfig - redundant flags definition.

[0.17.0] - 2022-06-30

Added

Added Mapping and mapping_factory.

Changed

Variable test_cfg renamed to QA_GLOBALS.

[0.16.0] - 2022-06-19

Added

Added support for configuration of tests. A configparser.ConfigParser instance is available as test_cfg. This instance is initialized with values from file test_config.ini located in files subdirectory.

[0.15.2] - 2022-06-13

Fixed

Fix problem with database init script. Now it uses the database charset instead default UTF8. The UTF8 is used only when database charset is not specified.

[0.15.1] - 2022-06-08

Added

Added encryption marker to mark test as requiring the encryption plugin

Changed

Package psutil is now a dependency, installed automatically with plugin.

[0.15.0] - 2022-06-05

Added

Added possibility to use databases aliases. The db_factory() parameter filename is now handled as database alias if it starts with #, for example #employee means alias employee. The alias must be defined in databases.conf file.

When filename is an alias, the Database.db_path property does not contain full pathlib.Path to the database, but this database alias.

Changed

To simplify portable use of databases with special configuration via databases.conf, the plugin initialization now ensures empty subdirectory QA in Firebird sample directory. To define your test databases in databases.conf, use next pattern:
```
  my_db = $(dir_sampleDB)/QA/my-db.fdb
  {
  ...
  }
```
On plugin initialization, the QA sub-directory is first emptied and removed, and then newly created. On non-Windows, full privileges are granted.

[0.14.0] - 2022-05-12
