If I run pytest
inside of Emacs, using M-X compile
, $TERM
gets set to "dumb", and this seems to confuse pytest's attempt to draw a line of =
s across the full width of the screen. It gets the width one too high, resulting in hard to read output with extra folded lines.
Running unset COLUMNS; pytest
helps a little, but it's still trying to do some fancy overwriting by issuing raw carriage-returns, and messing that up. I've also tried setting various values for $TERM
(ansi
, glass-tty
, etc). I even tried, unset TERM
.
Any way to convince pytest to just produce dumb output and not try to do any fancy output formatting?
I'm also open to ideas on how to pistol-whip emacs into setting the environment correctly :-)
I'm running:
- GNU Emacs 22.1.1
- Python 3.6.2
- pytest version 3.4.0
- MacOS 10.12.6 (16G1212)
- Terminal Version 2.7.3 (388.1.1)
Try pytest.el, or at least check how it invokes
py.test
. I use it with Spacemacs (it's included in the Python layer), and have never seen any issues with its terminal handling.
