Visual Studio Code - Tox Runner

tox runner is a visual studio code extension to collect and run tox environments within Visual Studio Code. It collects the different environments defined in a tox.ini file and presents them as tests in the test tab of visual studio code, allowing them to be run easily from within your IDE.

Motivation

tox runner is first and foremost a personal project of myself to learn how to write Visual Studio Code extensions. It provides the necessary functionality that I need within my own workflows. For a more battle-tested extension, I recommend taking a look at python-tox.

Functionality

Currently, the following functionality is supported within tox runner:

• Collect the different tox environments defined in a tox.ini file and nest them according to their factors.
• Run the tests either from within the tox.ini file or from within the Visual Studio Code test tab.
• Collect the results of the test run and display them within Visual Studio Code

Development

Contributions

Because this project is primarily a hobby project, I do not currently accept any code contributions. If you require particular functionality that you believe tox runner should support, or if you encountered a bug, I would appreciate issue reports however. These can be opened on within this repository and should follow the respective templates. Keep in mind that this is not a commercial project, and as such I cannot make any guarantees about time tables.

If you require specific changes, I recommend forking this repository, and building your own version. The development notes should help you set the environment. If this process is not clear, feel free to open a discussion for help.
