446 tests fail with neo-0.10.0

[TheChymera]

This is the full build and test log: https://ppb.chymera.eu/f0c5ba.log
I assume some failures at least are due to network access (is there any way to easily skip tests which require network access), and some due to missing dependencies.

One thing I spotted is ipython — this is an interactive shell. Is any functionality of python-neo really dependent on an interactive Python shell?

Hi @TheChymera.
Thank also for this packaging.

f you have any environment variable in mind to check if the test suite is running on your gentoo build box, tell us.
We can easily add then to skip theses test.

Hi @samuelgarcia thank you for looking into this! The way many packages do this is that they either:

1. have an environment variable such as PACKAGENAME_TESTS_NONETWORK (datalad for instance uses DATALAD_TESTS_NONETWORK)
2. mark the tests with e.g. @pytest.mark.network so that they can be deselected when running pytest via pytest -m "not network".

[samuelgarcia]

OK
I put that on my todo list.
I won't do it immediatly because I am a bit busy next 3 weeks but will do it soon.

@samuelgarcia Any news on this?

Still failing very many tests (506) on 0.11.1: https://ppb.chymera.eu/65897d.log

Just to update, though it's probably “as expected” given the milestone, network tests still fail in a network sandbox and I can't see how to auto-disable them on
0.12.0 https://ppb.chymera.eu/6fae8d.log
