How to rename a local branch to new branch

To rename a branch both locally and remotely in Git, you can use the following commands:

Rename the local branch

git branch -m old_branch new_branch

Delete the old remote branch

git push origin :old_branch

Push the new branch to remote

git push origin new_branch

Reset the upstream branch for the new local branch

git push origin -u new_branch

In this example, old_branch is the name of the branch you want to rename and new_branch is the new name you want to give to the branch

NOTE: How To Install Venv

-- In Windows, we can install it by going to the python installation directory, then type <python.exe -m venv < path-to-install-the-package>

-- In Windows, the file is located inside the directory, while in Mac/Linux, it may be inside the directory

How To Govern Test Search In Pytest

---

- Create a file name <pytest.ini> or hidden version <.pytest.ini>
- 
    > [pytest] # This should be the first line
    > python_files = test_*
    > python_classes = Tests*
    > python_functions = test_*
    -   add more as needed

How to initialize webdriver instance

---

from selenium import webdriver from selenium.webdriver.firefox.service import Service from webdriver-manager import GeckoDriverManager

driver = webdriver.Firefox(service=Service(executable_path=GeckoDriverManager().install())) driver.maximize_window()

driver.get('url.to.test.website')

pytest.ini

A concise and comprehensive pytest.ini file for Selenium tests might include settings for configuring test runs, plugins, and output formats. Here's an example:

[pytest]
# Test discovery
python_files = test_*.py
python_classes = Test*
python_functions = test_*

# Output settings
addopts = -ra -v --html=reports/report.html --self-contained-html
norecursedirs = .git .tox venv

# Plugins
filterwarnings =
    ignore::DeprecationWarning
    ignore::UserWarning

# HTML report customization
render_collapsed = True
render_module = true
render_class = true
render_instance = true

In this pytest.ini file:

• python_files, python_classes, and python_functions define patterns to discover test files, classes, and functions, respectively.
• addopts specifies additional command-line options for pytest, including generating an HTML report (--html=reports/report.html) with verbose output (-v) and showing all test results (-ra). The --self-contained-html option ensures that the report is self-contained.
• norecursedirs excludes specific directories from test discovery.
• filterwarnings suppresses certain types of warnings during test execution.
• HTML report customization options (render_collapsed, render_module, render_class, render_instance) control the level of detail in the HTML report.

Adjust these settings according to your project's needs.
