Pytest API and builtin fixtures
|
||||
================================================
|
||||
|
||||
This is a list of ``pytest.*`` API functions and fixtures.
|
||||
|
||||
Most of the information of this page has been moved over to :ref:`reference`.
|
||||
|
||||
For information on plugin hooks and objects, see :ref:`plugins`.
|
||||
|
||||
For information on the ``pytest.mark`` mechanism, see :ref:`mark`.
|
||||
|
||||
For the below objects, you can also interactively ask for help, e.g. by
|
||||
typing on the Python interactive prompt something like::
|
||||
For information about fixtures, see :ref:`fixtures`. To see a complete list of available fixtures, type::
|
||||
|
||||
$ pytest -q --fixtures
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
You can also interactively ask for help, e.g. by typing on the Python interactive prompt something like::
|
||||
|
||||
import pytest
|
||||
help(pytest)
|
||||
|
||||
.. currentmodule:: pytest
|
||||
|
||||
Invoking pytest interactively
|
||||
---------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
.. autofunction:: main
|
||||
|
||||
More examples at :ref:`pytest.main-usage`
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Helpers for assertions about Exceptions/Warnings
|
||||
--------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
.. autofunction:: raises
|
||||
|
||||
Examples at :ref:`assertraises`.
|
||||
|
||||
.. autofunction:: deprecated_call
|
||||
|
||||
Comparing floating point numbers
|
||||
--------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
.. autofunction:: approx
|
||||
|
||||
Raising a specific test outcome
|
||||
--------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
You can use the following functions in your test, fixture or setup
|
||||
functions to force a certain test outcome. Note that most often
|
||||
you can rather use declarative marks, see :ref:`skipping`.
|
||||
|
||||
.. autofunction:: _pytest.outcomes.fail
|
||||
.. autofunction:: _pytest.outcomes.skip
|
||||
.. autofunction:: _pytest.outcomes.importorskip
|
||||
.. autofunction:: _pytest.outcomes.xfail
|
||||
.. autofunction:: _pytest.outcomes.exit
|
||||
|
||||
Fixtures and requests
|
||||
-----------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
To mark a fixture function:
|
||||
|
||||
.. autofunction:: _pytest.fixtures.fixture
|
||||
:noindex:
|
||||
:decorator:
|
||||
|
||||
Tutorial at :ref:`fixtures`.
|
||||
|
||||
The ``request`` object that can be used from fixture functions.
|
||||
|
||||
.. autoclass:: _pytest.fixtures.FixtureRequest()

||||

||||
|

Builtin fixtures/function arguments
|
||||
-----------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
You can ask for available builtin or project-custom
|
||||
:ref:`fixtures <fixtures>` by typing::
|
||||
|
||||
$ pytest -q --fixtures
|
||||
cache
|
||||
Return a cache object that can persist state between testing sessions.
|
||||
|
||||
cache.get(key, default)
|
||||
cache.set(key, value)
|
||||
|
||||
Keys must be a ``/`` separated value, where the first part is usually the
|
||||
name of your plugin or application to avoid clashes with other cache users.
|
||||
|
||||
Values can be any object handled by the json stdlib module.
|
||||
capsys
|
||||
Enable capturing of writes to sys.stdout/sys.stderr and make
|
||||
captured output available via ``capsys.readouterr()`` method calls
|
||||
which return a ``(out, err)`` tuple. ``out`` and ``err`` will be ``text``
|
||||
objects.
|
||||
capsysbinary
|
||||
Enable capturing of writes to sys.stdout/sys.stderr and make
|
||||
captured output available via ``capsys.readouterr()`` method calls
|
||||
which return a ``(out, err)`` tuple. ``out`` and ``err`` will be ``bytes``
|
||||
objects.
|
||||
capfd
|
||||
Enable capturing of writes to file descriptors 1 and 2 and make
|
||||
captured output available via ``capfd.readouterr()`` method calls
|
||||
which return a ``(out, err)`` tuple. ``out`` and ``err`` will be ``text``
|
||||
objects.
|
||||
capfdbinary
|
||||
Enable capturing of write to file descriptors 1 and 2 and make
|
||||
captured output available via ``capfdbinary.readouterr`` method calls
|
||||
which return a ``(out, err)`` tuple. ``out`` and ``err`` will be
|
||||
``bytes`` objects.
|
||||
doctest_namespace
|
||||
Inject names into the doctest namespace.
|
||||
pytestconfig
|
||||
the pytest config object with access to command line opts.
|
||||
record_xml_property
|
||||
Add extra xml properties to the tag for the calling test.
|
||||
The fixture is callable with ``(name, value)``, with value being automatically
|
||||
xml-encoded.
|
||||
record_xml_attribute
|
||||
Add extra xml attributes to the tag for the calling test.
|
||||
The fixture is callable with ``(name, value)``, with value being automatically
|
||||
xml-encoded
|
||||
caplog
|
||||
Access and control log capturing.
|
||||
|
||||
Captured logs are available through the following methods::
|
||||
|
||||
* caplog.text() -> string containing formatted log output
|
||||
* caplog.records() -> list of logging.LogRecord instances
|
||||
* caplog.record_tuples() -> list of (logger_name, level, message) tuples
|
||||
monkeypatch
|
||||
The returned ``monkeypatch`` fixture 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)
|
||||
monkeypatch.chdir(path)
|
||||
|
||||
All modifications will be undone after the requesting
|
||||
test function or fixture has finished. 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
|
||||
|
||||
See http://docs.python.org/library/warnings.html for information
|
||||
on warning categories.
|
||||
tmpdir_factory
|
||||
Return a TempdirFactory instance for the test session.
|
||||
tmpdir
|
||||
Return a temporary directory path object
|
||||
which is 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.
