pytest-testbook 1.4.3

Enables pytest to execute your Jupyter Notebook as a test

pytest-testbook

The Question:

What do you call a Jupyter Notebook filled with test cases?

The Answer:

a testbook !

Why invent this plugin?

Because it allows specification, test cases, and automation code to be recorded inside a single Jupyter Notebook. When specification, requirements, test cases, and automation code are written in one place, this place is called a testbook.

How to run the tests?

• Option 1: Follow the manual steps written in the testbook and perform each test steps manually.
• Option 2: Trigger the execution of automated test code by running each cell directly in Jupyter Notebook.
• Option 3: Use pytest to discover tests inside the testbook and run them. This your option when running testbook in CI/CD pipeline.

Features

• BDD-style specification, requirements, manual test steps, and test automation code.
• Auto-generated PDF reports to support auditing processes.
• Plugin managed playwright instance working on its own background thread but can be used inside Jupyter Notebook cells.
• Trigger automated tests execution in Jupyter.
• Upload testbook in CI/CD pipepline for auto-execution using pytest

Installation

You will need to install playwright to generate pdf test reports. The side-effect is that you get a free playwright instance that you can use in your Testbooks.

pip install pytest-testbook
pip install jupyterlab
playwright install chromium

Usage

Navigate to where your tests folder are located. Then either run:

jupyter lab

to run tests manually in Jupyter. Or you can run:

pytest -sv

instead to let pytest discover your tests, collect them and execute them.
