This folder contains tests and support files for smoke testing popular plugins against the current pytest version.

|

|
The objective is to gauge if any intentional or unintentional changes in pytest break plugins.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As a rule of thumb, we should add plugins here:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. That are used at large. This might be subjective in some cases, but if answer is yes to
|
||
|
|
the question: *if a new release of pytest causes pytest-X to break, will this break a ton of test suites out there?*.
|
||
|
|
2. That don't have large external dependencies: such as external services.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Besides adding the plugin as dependency, we should also add a quick test which uses some
|
||
|
|
minimal part of the plugin, a smoke test. Also consider reusing one of the existing tests if that's
|
||
|
|
possible.
