Is there any way to interfere with global variables from Class BaseCase?

[zxczxcdev]

Like title , My code :

good_count = 0
bad_count = 0


class MyTestClass(BaseCase):        
    def test_swag_labs(self):
        global good_count, bad_count
        try:
            #something here
            
            while True:
                if True:
                    good_count += 1
                    break
                elif False:
                    bad_count += 1
                    break
        finally:
            pass
        

if __name__ == "__main__":
    while True:
        BaseCase.main(__name__, __file__)
        print(good_count, bad_count)

print(good_count, bad_count) >>> good = 0 bad = 0
Please help me. Thank you!

That's more of a general Python question about global variables:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/423596/7058266
(Add global before the variable when using it inside functions.)

[zxczxcdev]

class MyTestClass(BaseCase):
def test_swag_labs(self):
global good_count, bad_count

i used

class MyTestClass(BaseCase):        
    def test_swag_labs(self):
        global good_count, bad_count

so is that true ?

According to the StackOverflow post, the global variable was first set before the function, and then set with the global keyword in the function:

globvar = 0

def set_globvar_to_one():
    global globvar    # Needed to modify global copy of globvar
    globvar = 1

def print_globvar():
    print(globvar)     # No need for global declaration to read value of globvar

set_globvar_to_one()
print_globvar()       # Prints 1

al variable was first set bef

According to the StackOverflow post, the global variable was first set before the function, and then set with the global keyword in the function:

globvar = 0

def set_globvar_to_one():
    global globvar    # Needed to modify global copy of globvar
    globvar = 1

def print_globvar():
    print(globvar)     # No need for global declaration to read value of globvar

set_globvar_to_one()
print_globvar()       # Prints 1

I think I actually did that. Please review my code in topic

**good_count = 0 <<< the global variable was first set before the function,
bad_count = 0 <<< the global variable was first set before the function,**


class MyTestClass(BaseCase):        
    def test_swag_labs(self):
        **global good_count, bad_count**
        try:
            #something here
            
            while True:
                if True:
                    good_count += 1
                    break
                elif False:
                    bad_count += 1
                    break
        finally:
            pass

Check the Syntax Formats. You're using a pytest structure. pytest handles global variables differently. If you're going to be using a pytest structure, see pytest-dev/pytest#3403 (comment) for handling global variables passed between tests.

You can avoid that by using Syntax Format 23: SeleniumBase SB (Python context manager) so that you're using pure Python format, rather than pytest.
