gocept.pytestlayer 1.0

Integration of zope.testrunner-style test layers into the py.test framework

The gocept.pytestlayer distribution

Integration of zope.testrunner-style test layers into the py.test framework

This package is compatible with Python version 2.7.

Quick start

• Make sure your test files follow the conventions of py.test’s test discovery

  In particular, a file named tests.py will not be recognised.

• Add a buildout section to create the py.test runner:

  [buildout]
  parts += pytest
  
  [pytest]
  recipe = zc.recipe.egg
  eggs = gocept.pytestlayer
         pytest
         <YOUR PACKAGE HERE>

• Write a conftest.py creating fixtures for your layers:

  from gocept.pytestlayer import fixture
  
  globals().update(fixture.create(
      "mypackage.testing.Layer1",
      "mypackage.testing.Layer2",
      ))

  As long as there are any fixtures missing, the plugin will tell you about layers that need to be included. Calling py.test -x will make this process faster (as it makes the runner stop at the first error).

  Make sure to put the conftest.py inside a directory that is a parent of all directories that contain tests that use layers, so it is found by pytest whenever needed.
