How can I set up continuous integration for my Python tests?

You can use tools like GitHub Actions, Travis CI, or CircleCI to set up continuous integration for your Python tests. Do you have a specific tool in mind?

I'm considering GitHub Actions. How do I configure it?

To configure GitHub Actions, create a .github/workflows directory in your repository and add a YAML file for your workflow. You can define the steps to install dependencies, run tests, and specify triggers for when the workflow should run.

What should I include in the YAML file?

In the YAML file, include the name of the workflow, the trigger events (like push or pull_request), and the jobs that define the steps to set up Python, install dependencies, and run your tests.

Can you provide a sample YAML configuration?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

name: Python CI
on: [push, pull_request]
jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Set up Python
        uses: actions/setup-python@v2
        with:
          python-version: '3.8'
      - name: Install dependencies
        run: |
          python -m pip install --upgrade pip
          pip install -r requirements.txt
      - name: Run tests
        run: |
          pytest
