Expand command-line shortcuts listed in pytest configuration

This pytest plugin was generated with Cookiecutter along with @hackebrot's cookiecutter-pytest-plugin template.

Getting Started

Install using your favourite python package manager:

$ pip install pytest-shortcuts

Add some shortcuts to your pytest configuration:

[pytest]
shortcuts =
    --live: -m "live and not slow"
    --slow: -m "live and slow"
    --offline: --disable-socket -m "not live"

Now when you run your tests with eg --live, it will be as if you provided -m "live and not slow".

Bonus: including dotenv files

For each shortcut, you can also define a dotenv file to load with custom configuration:

[pytest]
shortcuts =
    --live: -m "live and not slow" --envfile=.live.env
    --slow: -m "live and slow"

Note that this dotenv file loads the environment very early, but any pytest-plugins will have already been imported by then. Any plugin that relies on an environment variable during module import (and not eg at runtime) may not see values loaded from this file.
