PyCharm 2023.2 Help

Tox Support

PyCharm integrates with tox and allows running tests in multiple environments.

Configure tox

  1. Create a Python project.

  2. Install tox for the project Python interpreter.

  3. Ensure that your project has the following files:

    • tox.ini

    • setup.py

    • test files

Execute tox tests

  1. Record the test requirements in the tox.ini file.

    Example:

    [tox] envlist = py37,py38 [testenv] deps = pytest commands = pytest

    See the tox documentation for more details.

  2. 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:

    Running tox tests

  3. Right-click any test result in the Test Runner to execute tox in a particular environment:

    Context menu to run a tox test

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