AltWalker 0.4.0: Support for python 3.12, new fixtures and LiveViewer release

Support for python 3.12

The load_module() method has been deprecated and is scheduled for removal in Python 3.12. AltWalker has transitioned to using exec_module instead. Additionally, the verify, walk, and online commands now include the --import-mode option, offering the following values:

• importlib: This mode employs importlib to import test modules.
• prepend: The directory containing each module is prepended to the end of sys.path if not already there.
• append: The directory containing each module is appended to the end of sys.path if not already there.

New fixtures

Two new fixtures have been introduced:

• beforeStep: Will be executed before every step.
• afterStep: Will be executed after every step.

You can define these fixtures in your test code like this:

# tests/test.py

def beforeStep():
    """Will be executed before every step."""

def afterStep():
    """Will be executed after every step."""


class ModelA:

    def beforeStep():
        """Will be executed before every step from this model."""

    def afterStep():
        """Will be executed after every step from this model."""

    # ...

These fixtures offer you the flexibility to customize behavior before and after individual steps, enhancing the control and functionality of your test suite.

Check out the documentation for more details.
