4 min readIn order to test a class hierarchy in pytest, you can create test classes for each level of the hierarchy. These test classes should inherit from the corresponding classes in your hierarchy. By doing this, you can test the methods and properties specific to each class, as well as the inheritance relationship between the classes.You can use pytest fixtures to create instances of the classes and set up any necessary data for your tests.
-
5 min readTo print a message after capturing an exception in pytest, you can use the pytest.raises context manager along with the try-except block within your test function. First, wrap the code that you expect to raise an exception inside the with pytest.raises(ExceptionType) as exc_info: block. Then, you can access the exception information using exc_info and print a custom message if the exception is caught.
-
4 min readTo run a pytest method multiple times, you can use the @pytest.mark.parametrize decorator in combination with the @pytest.mark.repeat decorator.First, use the @pytest.mark.parametrize decorator to provide multiple sets of input arguments to the test method. Each set of input arguments will result in the test method being executed once.Next, use the @pytest.mark.repeat decorator to specify the number of times you want the test method to be repeated for each set of input arguments.
-
4 min readTo create an HTML report for pytest, you can use the pytest-html plugin. First, you need to install the plugin by running the command pip install pytest-html. Once the plugin is installed, you can generate an HTML report by running pytest with the --html=path/to/report.html flag. This will create an HTML report with detailed information about the test runs including test results, duration, and any failures or errors encountered.

4 min readTo mock a library class for pytest, you can use the pytest-mock library which provides a simple way to replace the normal behavior of classes or functions with custom behavior in your tests. By using the mocker fixture provided by pytest-mock, you can easily mock classes imported from libraries.To mock a library class in your test function, you can use the mocker.patch decorator provided by pytest-mock. This decorator allows you to replace the actual class with a mock object.
-
4 min readTo test a class method using pytest, you can do the following:Import the class that contains the method you want to test.Create a test function with a name that starts with "test_".Instantiate the class and call the method you want to test.Use assert statements to check if the method behaves as expected.
-
3 min readTo run a test marked skip in pytest, you can use the -k option followed by the marker name. For example, if you have a test marked as @pytest.mark.skip, you can run it by running the command pytest -k skip. This will run only the tests marked as skip and skip the rest of the tests. This can be useful when you want to focus on running specific tests or when you have tests that are not ready to be run but you want to keep them in the codebase.
-
6 min readIn pytest, you can handle sys.argv by using the built-in pytestconfig fixture. This fixture provides access to the command line arguments passed to pytest. You can access these arguments using the pytestconfig.getoption() method. For example, you can retrieve the value of a specific command line argument with pytestconfig.getoption('myargument').
-
4 min readIn pytest, you can call a fixture from another fixture by simply passing the name of the other fixture as an argument in the definition of the fixture you want to call. This allows you to reuse fixtures and create a hierarchy of fixtures to organize your test setup. By calling a fixture from another fixture, you can ensure that setup code is shared between multiple tests and keep your test code clean and maintainable.
-
5 min readTo add custom XML attributes at collection time in pytest, you can use the pytest_collection_modifyitems hook. This hook allows you to modify the collected items before running the tests. You can create custom attributes by adding them to the node.keywords dictionary.For example, you can create a custom attribute named 'custom_attribute' for a test item by adding the following code to your conftest.
-
4 min readIn order to pass parameters to a pytest test, you can use fixtures. Fixtures allow you to define reusable setup code that can be passed to one or more tests. You can pass parameters to fixtures using the @pytest.fixture decorator. Inside the fixture function, you can define parameters that will be passed to the test.For example, if you have a test function called test_example that requires a parameter param, you can define a fixture that provides the value for param.
