pytest builtin helpers
|
|
================================================
|
|
|
|
builtin pytest.* helpers
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
You can always use an interactive Python prompt and type::
|
|
|
|
import pytest
|
|
help(pytest)
|
|
|
|
to get an overview on available globally available helpers.
|
|
|
|
.. automodule:: pytest

:members:
|
|
|
|
builtin function arguments
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
You can ask for available builtin or project-custom
|
|
:ref:`function arguments` by typing::
|
|
|
|
$ py.test --funcargs
|
|
pytestconfig
|
|
the pytest config object with access to command line opts.
|
|
capsys
|
|
captures writes to sys.stdout/sys.stderr and makes
|
|
them available successively via a ``capsys.readouterr()`` method
|
|
which returns a ``(out, err)`` tuple of captured snapshot strings.
|
|
|
|
capfd
|
|
captures writes to file descriptors 1 and 2 and makes
|
|
snapshotted ``(out, err)`` string tuples available
|
|
via the ``capsys.readouterr()`` method. If the underlying
|
|
platform does not have ``os.dup`` (e.g. Jython) tests using
|
|
this funcarg will automatically skip.
|
|
|
|
tmpdir
|
|
return a temporary directory path object
|
|
unique to each test function invocation,
|
|
created as a sub directory of the base temporary
|
|
directory. The returned object is a `py.path.local`_
|
|
path object.
|
|
|
|
monkeypatch
|
|
The returned ``monkeypatch`` funcarg provides these
|
|
helper methods to modify objects, dictionaries or os.environ::
|
|
|
|
monkeypatch.setattr(obj, name, value, raising=True)
|
|
monkeypatch.delattr(obj, name, raising=True)
|
|
monkeypatch.setitem(mapping, name, value)
|
|
monkeypatch.delitem(obj, name, raising=True)
|
|
monkeypatch.setenv(name, value, prepend=False)
|
|
monkeypatch.delenv(name, value, raising=True)
|
|
monkeypatch.syspath_prepend(path)
|
|
|
|
All modifications will be undone when the requesting
|
|
test function finished its execution. The ``raising``
|
|
parameter determines if a KeyError or AttributeError
|
|
will be raised if the set/deletion operation has no target.
|
|
|
|
recwarn
|
|
Return a WarningsRecorder instance that provides these methods:
|
|
|
|
* ``pop(category=None)``: return last warning matching the category.
|
|
* ``clear()``: clear list of warnings
|
|
