pytest-cpp 1.2.0

Use pytest's runner to discover and execute C++ tests

Use pytest runner to discover and execute C++ tests.

Supports both Google Test and Boost::Test:

This brings several benefits:

• Allows you to run all your tests in multi-language projects with a single command;

• Execute C++ tests in parallel using pytest-xdist plugin;

• Use --junitxml option to produce a single and uniform xml file with all your test suite results;

• Filter which tests to run using standard test filtering capabilities, such as by file names, directories, keywords by using the -k option, etc.;

Usage

Once installed, when py.test runs it will search and run tests found in executable files, detecting if the suites are Google or Boost tests automatically.

Configuration Options

cpp_files

You can configure which files are tested for suites by using the cpp_files ini configuration option:

[pytest]
cpp_files = test_suite*

By default matches test_* and *_test executable files.

cpp_arguments

New in version 1.1.

Arguments to the C++ tests can be provided with the cpp_arguments ini configuration option.

For example:

[pytest]
cpp_arguments =-v --log-dir=logs

You can change this option directly in the command-line using pytest’s -o option:

$ pytest -o cpp_arguments='-v --log-dir=logs'

cpp_ignore_py_files

New in version 1.2.

This option defaults to True and configures the plugin to ignore *.py files that would otherwise match the cpp_files option.

Set it to False if you have C++ executable files that end with the *.py extension.

[pytest]
cpp_ignore_py_files = False

Install

Install using pip:

$ pip install pytest-cpp
