Pytest plugin for Test Case Parametrization with CSV files
Project description
pytest-csv-params
A pytest plugin to parametrize data-driven tests by CSV files.
Requirements
- Python 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.11
- pytest >= 7.4
There's no operating system dependent code in this plugin, so it should run anywhere where pytest runs.
Installation
Simply install it with pip...
pip install pytest-csv-params
... or poetry ...
poetry add --dev pytest-csv-params
Documentation / User Guide
Detailed documentation can be found under docs.codebau.dev/pytest-plugins/pytest-csv-params/
Usage: Command Line Argument
Argument | Required | Description | Example |
---|---|---|---|
--csv-params-base-dir |
no (optional) | Define a base dir for all relative-path CSV data files (since 0.1.0) | pytest --csv-params-base-dir /var/testdata |
Usage: Decorator
Simply decorate your test method with @csv_params
(pytest_csv_params.decorator.csv_params
) and the following parameters:
Parameter | Type | Description | Example |
---|---|---|---|
data_file |
str |
The CSV file to use, relative or absolute path | "/var/testdata/test1.csv" |
base_dir |
str (optional) |
Directory to look up relative CSV files (see data_file ); overrides the command line argument |
join(dirname(__file__), "assets") |
id_col |
str (optional) |
Column name of the CSV that contains test case IDs | "ID#" |
dialect |
csv.Dialect (optional) |
CSV Dialect definition (see Python CSV Documentation) | csv.excel_tab |
data_casts |
dict (optional) |
Cast Methods for the CSV Data (see "Data Casting" below) | { "a": int, "b": float } |
header_renames |
dict (optional) |
Replace headers from the CSV file, so that they can be used as parameters for the test function (since 0.3.0) | { "Annual Amount of Bananas": "banana_count", "Cherry export price": "cherry_export_price" } |
CSV Format
The default CSV format is:
\r\n
as line ending- All non-numeric fields are surrounded by
"
- If you need a
"
in the value, use""
(double quote) - Fields are separated by comma (
,
)
Usage Example
This example uses the CSV example from above.
from pytest_csv_params.decorator import csv_params
@csv_params(
data_file="/data/test-lib/cases/addition.csv",
id_col="ID#",
data_casts={
"part_a": int,
"part_b": int,
"expected_result": int,
},
)
def test_addition(part_a, part_b, expected_result):
assert part_a + part_b == expected_result
Shorthand example (no ID col, only string values):
from pytest_csv_params.decorator import csv_params
@csv_params("/data/test-lib/cases/texts.csv")
def test_texts(text_a, text_b, text_c):
assert f"{text_a}:{text_b}" == text_c
More complex example
This example features nearly all things the plugin has to offer. You find this example also in the test cases, see tests/test_complex_example.py
.
The CSV file (tests/assets/example.csv
):
"Test ID","Bananas shipped","Single Banana Weight","Apples shipped","Single Apple Weight","Container Size"
"Order-7","1503","0.5","2545","0.25","1500"
"Order-15","101","0.55","1474","0.33","550"
The Test (tests/test_complex_example.py
):
from math import ceil
from os.path import join, dirname
from pytest_csv_params.decorator import csv_params
@csv_params(
data_file="example.csv",
base_dir=join(dirname(__file__), "assets"),
id_col="Test ID",
header_renames={
"Bananas shipped": "bananas_shipped",
"Single Banana Weight": "banana_weight",
"Apples shipped": "apples_shipped",
"Single Apple Weight": "apple_weight",
"Container Size": "container_size",
},
data_casts={
"bananas_shipped": int,
"banana_weight": float,
"apples_shipped": int,
"apple_weight": float,
"container_size": int,
},
)
def test_container_size_is_big_enough(
bananas_shipped: int, banana_weight: float, apples_shipped: int, apple_weight: float, container_size: int
) -> None:
"""
This is just an example test case for the documentation.
"""
gross_weight = (banana_weight * bananas_shipped) + (apple_weight * apples_shipped)
assert ceil(gross_weight) <= container_size
If you decide not to rename the columns, the test would look like this:
@csv_params(
data_file="example.csv",
base_dir=join(dirname(__file__), "assets"),
id_col="Test ID",
data_casts={
"Bananas_Shipped": int,
"Single_Banana_Weight": float,
"Apples_Shipped": int,
"Single_Apple_Weight": float,
"Container_Size": int,
},
)
def test_container_size_is_big_enough(
Bananas_Shipped: int, Single_Banana_Weight: float, Apples_Shipped: int, Single_Apple_Weight: float, Container_Size: int
) -> None:
