pytest not working with PySide

Question

pytest seems to be ignoring tests that use PySide. For example, I have a file test_pyside.py with the contents

from PySide import QtGui

def test_dialog():
    dialog = QtGui.QDialog()
    assert False

The output for running python -m pytest test_pyside.py is:

============================ test session starts ============================ platform win32 -- Python 2.7.12, pytest-3.0.5, py-1.4.31, pluggy-0.4.0 rootdir: C:\Users\erik, inifile: collected 1 items

That's it. No Error report. I don't know why.

Your test segfaults because it creates a QDialog without creating a QApplication. I suggest using the pytest-qt plugin to take care of that for you.
