pytest-stepper-plugin

A Pytest plugin created to help with making simple tests.

Installation

If you need the plugin, just copy the stepper.py file to your project and add it to pytest_plugins in conftest.py like this:

pytest_plugins = [
    "stepper",
    # other plugins...
]

Also, since this is a template repository, you can generate a new project based on this one.

Usage

A example module with steps for a test is located here, in steps.py.

Here's one another simple step:

def my_simple_step():
    def my_simple_step(vars):
        print('hello, world!')
    return my_simple_step

Steps consist of 2 function: "configuration" function and the actual step, which is nested in it.
I made it like this because some steps can require configuration.
For example, if you're using Selenium, you could have a step go_to that accepts the URL as a parameter.

The actual step function takes only 1 argument vars: a dict where you can save variables for use in other steps.
Continuing the Selenium example, you can have a open_browser step that opens the browser window and saves it in vars for later use.

Here's the code for these 2 steps:

def open_browser():
    def open_browser(vars):
        window = Chrome()
        vars['browser'] = window
    return open_browser

def go_to(url):
    def go_to(vars):
        window = vars['browser']
        window.get(url)
    return go_to
