You might want to restrict sockets to during tests to ensure network calls are prevented. There's a plugin for pytest to do this, called pytest_socket.
The microsoft/vscode-python extension for Visual Studio Code fails when sockets are blocked by the test suite. The culprit appears to early, in "Test Results":
vscode_pytest.VSCodePytestError: Error attempting to connect to extension communication socket[vscode-pytest]: A test tried to use socket.socket.connect() with host "localhost" (allowed: "localhost").
As of vscode 1.83.1 and vscode-python v2023.19.13031019, tests will work if you disable
the pythonTestAdapter
experiment in Settings:
"python.experiments.optOutFrom": ["pythonTestAdapter"],
-
Setup — standard, whatever you like. E.g.:
-
Install dependencies
pdm install
-
"Select Interpreter…" and pick
./.venv/bin/activate
-
-
Open
test_always_fail.py
-
"Run Tests in Current File" (⌘; F)
-
View results in "Test Results" and Test Explorer
-
Setup — standard, whatever you like. E.g.:
-
Install dependencies
pdm install
-
"Select Interpreter…" and pick
./.venv/bin/activate
-
-
Open
pyproject.toml
and uncomment line 16 (--disable-socket
) and optionally 17-18:# "--disable-socket", # Disable network in test with pytest-socket # "--allow-unix-socket", # Allow unix sockets for async # "--allow-hosts=localhost",

Open
test_init_option_fail.py

VSCode appears to run the test suite using run_pytest_script.py
. E.g.,
$HOME/.vscode/extensions/ms-python.python-2023.19.13031019/pythonFiles/vscode_pytest/run_pytest_script.py
This script invokes pytest
using pytest.run()
in the same process and assumes it can
open ports in the same process as the test runner.

tests/test_always_fail.py Error attempting to connect to extension communication socket[vscode-pytest]: A test tried to use socket.socket.
If you are on a Windows machine, this error may be occurring if any of your tests clear environment variables as they are required to communicate with the extension. Please reference https://docs.pytest.org/en/stable/how-to/monkeypatch.html#monkeypatching-environment-variablesfor the correct way to clear environment variables during testing.
