Usage

Install dependencies in Blender Python interpreter

Before execute it, you need to install your testing dependencies inside the builtin Blender Python interpreter. To get the interpreter location you can use the CLI utility pytest-blender, something like:

blender_python="$(pytest-blender)"
$blender_python -m ensurepip
$blender_python -m pip install -r test-requirements.txt

You can also get the intepreter for a custom Blender installation location with --blender-executable option:

pytest-blender --blender-executable ~/blender-2.91.2-linux64/blender

Execute tests

After installing dependencies, just call pytest as usually.

pytest -svv
