Pytest extension for adding test options

fixtopt

Extend your pytests with options that can be accessed as test fixtures.

Pytest allows declaring command line options for your tests. You specify this in a test hook defined in e.g. a file called conftest.py, inside your test directory.

Add the options:

# conftest.py
from fixtopt import Option, register

def pytest_addoption(parser):
    register(globals(), parser, (

        Option(
            name="message",
            default="message.txt",
            help="the message file"),

        Option(
            name="receiver",
            default="World",
            help="the receiver"),

    ))

Import the options in your tests like you would import a fixture:

import my_mailclient

def test_a_person_receives_a_message(message, receiver):
    with open(message) as f:
        assert my_mailclient.receiver(f.read()) == receiver

And you can run your tests with the declared options:

pytest . --message /path/to/messagefile --receiver mrs.X
