A Django plugin for py.test.
Project description
pytest-django is a plugin for py.test that provides a set of useful tools for testing Django applications and projects.
Requirements
These packages are required to use pytest-django, and should be installed separately.
Django 1.3+ (1.4 is supported)
py.test
Quick Start
pip install pytest-django
Invoke your tests with the py.test command.
(Optionally) If you put your tests under a tests directory (the standard Django application layout), and your files are not named test_FOO.py, see the FAQ
Documentation
Why would I use this instead of Django’s manage.py test command?
Running the test suite with py.test offers some features that are not present in Djangos standard test runner:
Smarter test discovery (no need for from .foo import * in your test modules).
Less boilerplate: no need to import unittest, create a subclass with methods. Just write tests as regular functions.
No need to run all tests, it is easy to specify which tests to run.
All your existing unittest-style tests will still work without any modifications.
There are a lot of other nice plugins available for py.test.
See the py.test documentation for more information on py.test.
