pytest-pythonpath
This is a py.test plugin for adding to the PYTHONPATH from the pytests.ini file before tests run.
Installation
Install with pip::
pip install pytest-pythonpath
Uninstall with pip::
pip uninstall pytest-pythonpath
Usage
Add a line in your pytest.ini file with a key of python_paths and provide a space seperated list of paths
you want inserted to the beginning of the PYTHONPATH before any tests run:
[pytest]
python_paths = your/path/apps your/path/libs
If you'd like to have .pth files be processed too, use site_dirs instead:
[pytest]
site_dirs = your/path/apps your/path/libs
This will cause the addsitedir function to be called on each path instead of a simple sys.path.insert(0, path).
Note that using the site_dirs will not place your specified paths in front of existing paths.
Once this is added to your pytest.ini, you can use the py.test command as you normally would.
