pytest-fixture-config 1.2.11

# Py.test Fixture Configuration

Simple configuration objects for Py.test fixtures.
Allows you to skip tests when their required config variables aren't set.

## Installation

Install using your favourite package manager:

```bash
pip install pytest-fixture-config
# or..
easy_install pytest-fixture-config
```

Enable the fixture explicitly in your tests or conftest.py (not required when using setuptools entry points):

```python
pytest_plugins = ['pytest_fixture_config']
```


## Specifying Configuration

To specify your variables you create a class somewhere in your plugin module,
and a singleton instance of the class which reads the variables from wherever
you want. In this example we read them from the shell environment:

```python
import os
from pytest_fixture_config import Config

class FixtureConfig(Config):
__slots__ = ('log_dir', 'log_watcher')

CONFIG=FixtureConfig(
log_dir=os.getenv('LOG_DIR', '/var/log'), # This has a default
log_watcher=os.getenv('LOG_WATCHER'), # This does not
)
```

## Using Configuration

Simply reference the singleton at run-time in your fixtures:

```python
import pytest

@pytest.fixture
def log_watcher():
return subprocess.popen([CONFIG.log_watcher, '--log-dir', CONFIG.log_dir])

def test_log_watcher(watcher):
watcher.communicate()
```

## Skipping tests when things are missing

There are some decorators that allow you to skip tests when settings aren't set.
This is useful when you're testing something you might not have installed
but don't want your tests suite to fail:

```python
from pytest_fixture_config import requires_config

@requires_config(CONFIG, ['log_watcher', 'log_dir'])
@pytest.fixture
def log_watcher():
return subprocess.popen([CONFIG.log_watcher, '--log-dir', CONFIG.log_dir])
```

There is also a version for yield_fixtures:

```python
from pytest_fixture_config import yield_requires_config

@yield_requires_config(CONFIG, ['log_watcher', 'log_dir'])
@pytest.fixture
def log_watcher():
watcher = subprocess.popen([CONFIG.log_watcher, '--log-dir', CONFIG.log_dir])
yield watcher
watcher.kill()
```
