Many of py.test's features are implemented as a plugin.

Loading plugins and specifying dependencies
|
|
============================================
|
|
|
|
py.test loads and configures plugins at tool startup:
|
|
|
|
* by reading the ``PYTEST_PLUGINS`` environment variable
|
|
and importing the comma-separated list of plugin names.
|
|
|
|
* by loading all plugins specified via one or more ``-p name``
|
|
command line options.
|
|
|
|
* by loading all plugins specified via a ``pytest_plugins``
|
|
variable in ``conftest.py`` files or test modules.
|
|
|
|
example: ensure a plugin is loaded
|
|
-----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
If you create a ``conftest.py`` file with the following content::
|
|
|
|
pytest_plugins = "pytest_myextension",
|
|
|
|
then all tests in that directory and below it will run with
|
|
an instantiated "pytest_myextension". Here is how instantiation
|
|
takes place:
|
|
|
|
* the module ``pytest_extension`` will be imported and
|
|
and its contained `ExtensionPlugin`` class will
|
|
be instantiated. A plugin module may specify its
|
|
dependencies via another ``pytest_plugins`` definition.
