pytest plugin to run the tests with support of pyspark (Apache Spark).

This plugin will allow to specify SPARK_HOME directory in pytest.ini and thus to make “pyspark” importable in your tests which are executed by pytest.

Also it defines session scope fixture spark_context which can be used in your tests.

Install

$ pip install pytest-spark

Usage

Set Spark location

To run tests with required spark_home location just add “spark_home” value to pytest.ini in your project directory:

[pytest]
spark_home = /opt/spark

Or set the “SPARK_HOME” environmental variable.

pytest-spark will try to import pyspark from specified location.

Order of reading spark_home:

  1. pytest.ini

  2. “SPARK_HOME” environmental variable

  3. Try to find it in common locations (i.e. OS X Homebrew)

Using the spark_context fixture

Use fixture spark_context in your tests as a regular pyspark fixture. SparkContext instance will be created once and reused for the whole test session.

Example:

def test_my_case(spark_context):
    test_rdd = spark_context.parallelize([1, 2, 3, 4])
    # ...

Using the spark_session fixture (Spark 2.0 and above)

Use fixture spark_session in your tests as a regular pyspark fixture. A SparkSession instance with Hive support enabled will be created once and reused for the whole test session.

Example:

def test_spark_session_dataframe(spark_session):
    test_df = spark_session.createDataFrame([[1,3],[2,4]], "a: int, b: int")
    # ...
