Description:
pytestinvolve 0.1.4
pytest-involve is a pytest plugin for running only tests which cover a given file
or set of files. It’s called pytest-involve because it lets you run only tests involving
modules or members from those modules.
Usually with pytest the test set to run is specified and coverage collected based on that set. When pytest-involve
is used, instead you specify the file(s) you want to cover, and test files are selected based
on whether they import from those file(s) or not.
Usages
pytest-involve adds one command line argument to pytest, namely --involving.
This can be provided a file path, a module import path (such as you would use in a
Python interpreter), or either of the above suffixed with :: and the name of something defined in there:
pytest --involving ./path/to/file.py
pytest --involving importable.module.path
pytest --involving ./path/to/file.py::member
pytest --involving importable.module.path::member
This will have the effect of only collecting and running tests which are defined in modules
whose imports overlap with the file(s) and member(s) specified with the --involving flag.
The plugin aims for recall over precision: It might run a few tests that
aren’t strictly necessary, but it shouldn’t ignore any tests that are.
The ::member syntax will only work for things with a __file__ attribute
(so, mostly classes and functions).
pytest-involve should play nicely with most other pytest plugins and command line tooling.
One useful example is as follows:
git status -s | cut -c4- | grep .py | sed "s/^/--involving /" | xargs pytest
This will take all *.py files mentioned in the output of git status and provide them
to pytest prefixed with --involving, which allows for quickly running unit tests
relevant to the current state of the repository.
This pytest plugin was generated with Cookiecutter along with @hackebrot’s cookiecutter-pytest-plugin template.
