Numerous useful plugins for pytest.

Fixtures

tmpworkdir

Run the test with the working directory set to a temporary directory. Similar to the pytest plugin tmpdir except working directory is changed.

smart_caplog

capture logs with a smarter interface than pytest's native caplog

print_logs

print all logs.

loop

asyncio loop.

Methods

(See below for usage examples).

mktree

Create a tree of files from a dictionary.

gettree

Return a dictionary depicting a directory tree.

Comparison Objects

All can be imported from pytest_toolbox.comparison.

CloseToNow

check that a date (or date-like object) is close to now

AnyInt

check tests that an object is an int

RegexStr

check that a string matches the regex

IsUUID

that that an object is an instance of UUID.

Used with equals as in my_date == CloseToNow(), these are useful when checking objects which contain a few unknown values are as expected

Eg.

assert {
    'details': {
        'user': 'foobar@example.com',
        'id': AnyInt(),
        'published': False,
        'event': 'an example',
        'created_ts': CloseToNow(),
    },
    'other_thing': [
        ...
    ],
    ...
} == obj

Usage

from pytest_toolbox import gettree, mktree

def test_whatever(tmpworkdir):
    mktree(tmpworkdir, {
        'foobar.txt': 'has this content'
    })
    assert gettree(tmpworkdir) = {'foobar.txt': 'has this content'}
