pytest-srcpaths

Add paths to sys.path.
A pytest plugin to help pytest find the code you want to test.

Installation

Install with pip:

pip install pytest-srcpaths

Usage

Add a line in your pytest.ini file with a key of srcpaths. It should contain a space-separated list of paths.

[pytest]
srcpaths = src lib

Paths are relative to the directory that pytest.ini is in.
You can include the top level directory with a dot.

[pytest]
srcpaths = .

Alternatively, use pythonpath

The option pythonpath also works the same.

[pytest]
pythonpath = src lib

pytest 7 (not released yet) is planned to include the pythonpath option.

For pytest 6.2.x, this plugin will work.

Changelog

• 1.2.1 - Add pythonpath as an alternative to srcpath option for pytest versions < 7.0.0
  • this is to allow this project to act as a temporary workaround until pytest 7 is released
