pytest-profiles 0.2.0

pytest plugin for configuration profiles

pytest_profiles

pytest plugin to create configuration profiles.

Installation

$ pip install pytest_profiles

Usage

Define your pytest configurations in a conftest.py.

# conftest.py
from pytest_profiles import profile
from _pytest.config import Config


@profile(autouse=True)
def default(config: Config) -> None:
    """
    sets pytest configuration options 
    which are always applied (autouse=True)
    """
    config.option.verbose = 1


@profile
def custom(config: Config) -> None:
    """
    sets pytest configuration options 
    only when `--profile custom` argument is applied.
    """
    config.option.newfirst = True
    config.option.failedfirst = True

activate profiles by passing command line arguments to pytest

# pytest runs with verbosity=1 by default
$ pytest

# pytest runs new and failed tests first
$ pytest --profile custom  

It is also possible to define dependencies between profiles

# conftest.py
from pytest_profiles import profile
from _pytest.config import Config


@profile
def base(config: Config) -> None:
    config.option.newfirst = True
    config.option.failedfirst = True


@profile(uses=["base"])
def sub(config: Config) -> None:
    """the sub profile also includes the configuration of the base profile."""
    config.option.verbose = 1

see conftest.py for more examples.
