pytest-cmake-presets 0.0.0.dev0

Execute CMake Presets via pytest

Overview

pytest-cmake-presets was written to find and "test" cmake-presets(7) as part of the IXM test harness. Each test is a single CMake preset that might be part of a larger project. There are two aspects to tests: running presets directly, and then testing the layout/result of the cmake-file-api(7) after the fact. These second tests are performed via normal pytest functions.

Tests can use the vendor.pytest-cmake-presets field to modify the expected outcome of some tests.

Specifically, fields like pass-regex, will-fail, etc., can all modify the behavior of an executed CMakePresetItem, allowing for some behavior to be modified in a data-oriented fashion, instead of requiring pytest fixtures to execute.
