pytest-copie 0.2.0

Overview

pytest-copie is a pytest plugin that comes with a copie fixture which is a wrapper on top the copier API for generating projects. It helps you verify that your template is working as expected and takes care of cleaning up after running the tests. :ledger:

It is an adaptation of the pytest-cookies plugin for copier templates.

It’s here to help templates designers to check that everything works as expected on the generated files including (but not limited to):

• linting operations

• testing operations

• packaging operations

• documentation operations

• …

Installation

pytest-copie is available on PyPI and can be installed with pip:

pip install pytest-copie

Usage

The copie fixture will allow you to copy a template and run tests against it. It will also clean up the generated project after the tests have been run.

def test_template(copie):
    res = copie.copy(extra_answers={"repo_name": "helloworld"})

    assert res.exit_code == 0
    assert res.exception is None
    assert result.project_dir.is_dir()

Context and template location can be fully customized, see our documentation for more details.
