Edit the source code of a failed test with `pytest --edit`.
Project description
pytest-edit
A simple Pytest plugin for opening editor on the failed tests.
Installation & usage
Install with:
pip install pytest-edit
After installing the plugin, you need to rerun your tests before the plugin will be able to open them for edition.
Usage:
pytest --edit
This will open your $EDITOR
at the first line of the last failed test. Not
all editors are capable of opening a file at a given line, and not all editors
that do are supported by pytest-edit
. See below.
You can also specify the test using its index in the shortreport, for example:
pytest --edit=2 # will open the third failed test from the last run.
pytest --edit=-2 # will open the second-to-last failed test from the last run.
Setting the right editor & editor support
Use $EDITOR
environment variable to set the editor that should be opened.
E.g. you can add export EDITOR=vim
line to your .bashrc
or .zshrc
to set
the editor to vim
.
If no editor is set, the defaults are vi
for POSIX platforms and notepad
for Windows.
The plugin tries to be cleaver about the options given to the detected editor. If something is not working properly for you, don't hesitate to open an issue.
If an editor is not supported, the file of the specified test will be opened without specifying the line the editor should place the cursor at.
I have not tested 90% of the editor support - there are at least 3 platforms with tens of different editors. Issues & PRs welcome.
