How to built-in run python tox command and test in visual studio code

Question

I have tox.ini in my project, and I want for running and showing test in visual studio code, using python tox, but I don't know how to do it?

Answer 1

Update: since June 2021 there is a Visual Studio Code extension for tox: python-tox.

To use:

1. Install the extension
2. Ensure that tox is installed in the base version of Python running on your OS
3. Open the command palette (Cmd-Shift-P on a Mac)
4. Type tox
5. Select from one of the available commands (see the extension homepage for details)

Disclaimer: I am not the author of the extension, but kudos to the author.

Answer 2

As far as I know there is no tox extension for VS Code.

I just open the integrated terminal within VS Code and run it.

You can also run any external tool, e.g. tox via a so-called task, see https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/tasks
