pytest failure if run on an openqa server already configured with non-default in config file

I am not familiar with pytest, so I basically called it on my PowerPC machine with not specific arguments, and it is reporting errors similar to exemples below (2)

Is there specific syntax/arguments to pass to handle the local hostname by pytest ?

(2) my PowerPC host is "abanc.test.toulouse-stg.fr.ibm.com"
and failures report it as a problem (with or without http prefix)

E               AssertionError: assert 'http://abanc...tg.fr.ibm.com' == 'openqa.fedoraproject.org'
E                 - http://abanc.test.toulouse-stg.fr.ibm.com
E                 + openqa.fedoraproject.org

Ah, hm; I think basically the tests aren't 'safe' if you run them in
such a way that a config file which sets certain values will be read.
The tests assume those values will be their defaults in the absence of
a config file.

Can you file an issue on this? I'll think about the best way to fix it.

Hello @adamwill, I do not know how to solve this issue,

My understanding is that we should mock the openqa_hostname and openqa_baseurl methods, but they have property decorator, so my trial code to mock openqa_hostname in test/test_consumer.py (1) is failing misarably (2)
I do not know how to manage that between the class and the instance.

Do you have a suggestion for correction ?

$pytest -v -x --full-trace tests/test_consumers.py
...
E           AttributeError: <module 'fedora_openqa.consumer' from '/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/fedora_openqa-3.0.0-py2.7.egg/fedora_openqa/consumer.pyc'> does not have the attribute u'openqa_hostname'

/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mock/mock.py:1343: AttributeError

Sorry, I've had more urgent stuff to work on recently. The short term workaround is just 'run the tests in such a way that the config file doesn't kick in' - move it out of the way temporarily, or run them as another user. For a real fix, my first instinct is to tweak things a bit so the tests don't use the 'real' config files but instead use ones shipped with the source. I just need to get around to it.

Not much use, but just to note, I just spent like two hours thinking about how to fix this and it's actually kinda hard to come up with anything very clean. Will keep working on it...
