Tox Support

IntelliJ IDEA integrates with tox and allows running tests in multiple environments.

Configure tox

Ensure that Python is downloaded and installed on your machine.
Download tox.
Create a Python project.
Ensure that at least one Python SDK is configured.
Install tox for the Python SDK.
Ensure that your project has the following files:
- tox.ini
- setup.py
- test files

Execute tox tests

Record the test requirements in the tox.ini file.
Example:
[tox] envlist = py37,py38 [testenv] deps = pytest commands = pytest
See https://pypi.org/project/tox/ for more details.
Right-click the file tox.ini and choose Run. The dedicated tox run/debug configuration is launched.
The results show up in the test runner tab of the Run tool window:
Right-click any test result in the Test Runner to execute tox in a particular environment:

The test tree view shows only for those runners that IntelliJ IDEA is aware of. If IntelliJ IDEA doesn't understand the test runner, then the interpreter name only is written.
