Provide a gitconfig sandbox for testing

Getting started

Install pytest-gitconfig:

# pip
pip install pytest-gitconfig
# pipenv
pipenv install pytest-gitconfig
# PDM
pdm add pytest-gitconfig

Then in your conftest.py:

# All tests are using the sandboxed gitconfig
pytestmark = pytest.mark.usefixtures("gitconfig")

or if you want to customize or depend on it

from __future__ import annotations
from typing import TYPE_CHECKING

if TYPE_CHECKING:
  from pytest_gitconfig import GitConfig

@pytest.fixture
def git_user_name() -> str:
  return "John Doe"

@pytest.fixture
def fixture_depending_on_gitconfig(gitconfig: GitConfig) -> Whatever:
    # You can set values
    gitconfig.set(group={key: value})  # nested key-value form
    gitconfig.set(**{"othersome.key": True})  # dotted keys form
    # Or read them
    data = gitconfig.get("path.to.key")
    # If you need the path to the gitconfig file
    GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL = str(gitconfig)
    return whatever

Provided fixtures

All fixtures are session-scoped.

gitconfig -> pytest_gitconfig.GitConfig

This is the main fixture which is creating a new and clean git config file for the test session.

By default, it will set 3 settings:

• user.name
• user.email
• init.defaultBranch

The fixture when required provide a pytest_gitconfig.GitConfig object with the following methods:

• gitconfig.set() accepting either a dict with the parsed data sections or key-values with dotted key names.
• gitconfig.get() to get a setting given its dotted key.

It works by monkeypatching the GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL environment variable. So, if you rely on this in a context where os.environ is ignored, you should patch it yourself using this fixture.

git_user_name -> str

Provide the initial user.name setting. By default pytest_gitconfig.DEFAULT_GIT_USER_NAME. Override to provide a different initial value.

git_user_email -> str

Provide the initial user.email setting. By default pytest_gitconfig.DEFAULT_GIT_USER_EMAIL. Override to provide a different initial value.

git_init_default_branch -> str

Provide the initial init.defaultBranch setting. By default pytest_gitconfig.DEFAULT_GIT_BRANCH (main). Override to provide a different initial value.

sessionpatch -> pytest.MonkeyPatch

A pytest.MonkeyPatch session instance.
