This patch avoids an annoying warning
Warning: Unknown config ini key: flake8-ignore
when running one of the pytest-based test projects (cql-pytest,
alternator and redis) on recent versions of pytest.
In commit 2022da2405, we added to the
toplevel Scylla directory a "tox.ini" file with some intention to
configure Python syntax checking. One of the configurations in this
tox.ini is:
[pytest]
flake8-ignore =
E501
It turns out that pytest, if a certain test directory does not have its
own pytest.ini file, looks up in ancestor directory for various
configuration files (the configuration file precedence is described in
https://docs.pytest.org/en/stable/customize.html), and this includes
this tox.ini configuration section. Recent versions of pytest complain
about the "flake8-ignore" configuration parameter, which they don't
recognize. This parameter may be ok (?) if you install a flake8 pytest
plugin, but we do not require users to do this for running these tests.
Moreover, whatever noble intentions this commit and its tox.ini had,
nobody ever followed up on it. The three pytest-based test directories
never adhered to flake8's recommended syntax, and never intended to do
so. None of the developers of these tests use flake8, or seem to wish
to do so. If this ever changes, we can change the pytest.ini or undo this
commit and go back to a top-level tox.ini, but I don't see this happening
anytime soon.

Tests for Scylla with Redis API that should also pass, identically, against Redis.
Tests use the redis library for Redis API, and the pytest frameworks (both are available from Linux distributions, or with "pip install").
To run all tests against the local installation of Scylla with Redis API on
localhost:6379, just run pytest.
Some additional pytest options:
- To run all tests in a single file, do
pytest test_strings.py. - To run a single specific test, do
pytest test_strings.py::set. - Additional useful pytest options, especially useful for debugging tests:
- -v: show the names of each individual test running instead of just dots.
- -s: show the full output of running tests (by default, pytest captures the test's output and only displays it if a test fails)
