pytest-zigzag 1.1.1

Extend py.test for RPC OpenStack testing.

pytest-zigzag

Extend py.test for RPC OpenStack testing.

Quick Start Guide

1. You can install “pytest-zigzag” via pip from PyPI

   $ pip install pytest-zigzag

2. Or you can install “pytest-zigzag” via pip from disk (assumes you’re in the root of the repo):

   $ pip install -e .

Usage

Once installed the plug-in will automatically be loaded by all py.test test runs executed in the Python environment in which the pytest-zigzag was installed.

Features

JUnitXML RPC Specific Properties

If a user executes py.test tests with the --junitxml and with this plug-in installed, the resulting XML log file will contain a test suite properties element. The properties element will contain information gathered about the test run fetched from the local environment.

Configuration

You can supply a json config to this plugin containing a dictionary. Each key / value will become a property name and value on the test suite node of the resulting xml. There is one required config: pytest_zigzag_env_vars. This should be a json object where the keys are the environment variable names to be collected, if you set value to a string that value will be used. If the value is null it will be pulled from the environment.

The location of the config file can be specified in two ways:

1. In a pytest ini file:

   [pytest]
   pytest-zigzag-config=/path/to/config/file

2. Explicitly on the command line:

   pytest /path/to/test_test.py --pytest-zigzag-config=/path/to/config/file

Any property defined in the config file can be overriden by creating an environment variable of the same name. see this config_property_overrides.md
