markdown-pytest

Pytest plugin for running tests directly from Markdown files.

Markdown:

<!--- name: test_assert_true -->
```python
assert True
```

assert True

Code split

You can split test to the multiple blocks with the same test name:

Markdown:

This block performs import:

<!--- name: test_example -->
```python
from itertools import chain
```

`chain` usage example:

<!--- name: test_example -->
```python
assert list(chain(range(2), range(2))) == [0, 1, 0, 1]
```

from itertools import chain

assert list(chain(range(2), range(2))) == [0, 1, 0, 1]

Fictional Code Examples

Code without <!--- name: test_name --> comment will not be executed.

```python
from universe import antigravity, WrongPlanet

try:
    antigravity()
except WrongPlanet:
    print("You are on the wrong planet.")
    exit(1)
```

from universe import antigravity, WrongPlanet

try:
    antigravity()
except WrongPlanet:
    print("You are on the wrong planet.")
    exit(1)
