A new command: poetry test

• I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate.
• I have searched the documentation and believe that my question is not covered.

Feature Request

Implement a poetry test command.

Background

I’ve been using Makefiles (and sometimes just snippets of code) to manage testing over CIs and I’d like a poetry test command to manage centralize this (for some systems don’t have GNU Make).

Demonstration

To configure it, there should be a new section in the pyproject.toml stating what poetry test does, like this:

[tool.poetry.test]
command = "pytest -vvv --cov=package_name"
after_success = 'echo "Yay! All tests have passed!" '

Implementation

Basically, poetry will run that command in a virtual environment (which does not include the package itself) that has installed all the dependancies.

Poetry is a package and dependency manager, not a task manager. This feature is beyond the scope and the original purpose of Poetry and will likely never be integrated into it.

I’d say (as I commented on many other feature requests), wait until poetry gets its plugin system (scheduled for v1.2), and this feature could hopefully be made into a poetry plugin.
