pytest-datatest
The development version of datatest's pytest integration.
Typically, only developers working on datatest's pytest plugin
should install this package. Other users are encouraged to install
just datatest
—this plugin comes bundled with it.
Minimum Requirements
Installation
For Developers
Clone the git repositories and use pip to perform an editable install from the cloned project directory:
git clone git@github.com:shawnbrown/datatest.git git clone git@github.com:shawnbrown/pytest-datatest.git pip install --editable ./datatest pip install --no-deps --editable ./pytest-datatest
For Users Without Special Requirements
Don't install this package—install datatest instead:
pip install datatest
For Users With Special Requirements
If you need bug-fixes or features that are not yet available from the main datatest project, you can install "pytest-datatest" via pip from PyPI:
pip install pytest-datatest
And if the version on PyPI isn't new enough for your needs, you can install the plugin directly from the live GitHub repository. But be warned, the live development version is a work in progress and you should use it with care:
pip install --upgrade https://github.com/shawnbrown/pytest-datatest/archive/master.zip
Usage
When installed, this development version automatically overrides datatest's bundled pytest integration. If you want to revert back to the bundled plugin, simply uninstall this version.
To disable the development version (and temporarily enable the bundled version) use:
pytest -p no:datatest_devel
To disable both the development and bundled versions use:
pytest -p no:datatest_devel -p no:datatest
Features

- Provides an '--ignore-mandatory' command line option to override the default 'mandatory' behavior.
