Learning by examples
=====================
adding custom options
----------------------
py.test supports adding of standard optparse_ Options.
A plugin may implement the ``addoption`` hook for registering
custom options::
def pytest_addoption(parser):
parser.addoption("-M", "--myopt", action="store",
help="specify string to set myopt")
def pytest_configure(config):
if config.option.myopt:
# do action based on option value
#
.. _optparse: http://docs.python.org/library/optparse.html
Working Examples
================
managing state at module, class and method level
------------------------------------------------------------
Here is a working example for what goes on when you setup modules,
classes and methods::
# [[from py/documentation/example/pytest/test_setup_flow_example.py]]
def setup_module(module):
module.TestStateFullThing.classcount = 0
class TestStateFullThing:
def setup_class(cls):
cls.classcount += 1
def teardown_class(cls):
cls.classcount -= 1
def setup_method(self, method):
self.id = eval(method.func_name[5:])
def test_42(self):
assert self.classcount == 1
assert self.id == 42
def test_23(self):
assert self.classcount == 1
assert self.id == 23
def teardown_module(module):
assert module.TestStateFullThing.classcount == 0
For this example the control flow happens as follows::
import test_setup_flow_example
setup_module(test_setup_flow_example)
setup_class(TestStateFullThing)
instance = TestStateFullThing()
setup_method(instance, instance.test_42)
instance.test_42()
setup_method(instance, instance.test_23)
instance.test_23()
teardown_class(TestStateFullThing)
teardown_module(test_setup_flow_example)
Note that ``setup_class(TestStateFullThing)`` is called and not
``TestStateFullThing.setup_class()`` which would require you
to insert ``setup_class = classmethod(setup_class)`` to make
your setup function callable. Did we mention that lazyness
is a virtue?
