Virtualenv fixture for py.test
Project description
Create a Python virtual environment in your test that cleans up on teardown. The fixture has utility methods to install packages and list what’s installed.
Installation
Install using your favourite package installer:
pip install pytest-virtualenv
# or
easy_install pytest-virtualenvEnable the fixture explicitly in your tests or conftest.py (not required when using setuptools entry points):
pytest_plugins = ['pytest_virtualenv']Configuration
This fixture is configured using the following evironment variables

Fixture Attributes
Here’s a noddy test case to demonstrate the basic fixture attributes. For more information on path.py see https://pythonhosted.org/path.py
def test_virtualenv(virtualenv):
# the 'virtualenv' attribute is a `path.py` object for the root of the virtualenv
dirnames = virtualenv.virtualenv.dirs()
assert {'bin', 'include', 'lib'}.intersection(set(dirnames))
# the 'python' attribute is a `path.py` object for the python executable
assert virtualenv.python.endswith('/bin/python')Installing Packages
You can install packages by name and query what’s installed.
def test_installing(virtualenv):
virtualenv.install_package('coverage', installer='pip')
# installed_packages() will return a list of `PackageEntry` objects.
assert 'coverage' in [i.name for i in virtualenv.installed_packages()]Developing Source Checkouts
Any packages set up in the test runner’s python environment (ie, the same runtime that py.test is installed in) as source checkouts using python setup.py develop will be detected as such and can be installed by name using install_package. By default they are installed into the virtualenv using python setup.py develop, there is an option to build and install an egg as well:
def test_installing_source(virtualenv):
# Install a source checkout of my_package as an egg file
virtualenv.install_package('my_package', build_egg=True)Running Commands
The test fixture has a run method which allows you to run commands with the correct paths set up as if you had activated the virtualenv first.
def test_run(virtualenv):
python_exe_path = virtualenv.python
runtime_exe = virtualenv.run("python -c 'import sys; print sys.executable'", capture=True)
assert runtime_exe == python_exe_pathRunning Commands With Coverage
The test fixture has a run_with_coverage method which is like run but runs the command under coverage inside the virtualenv. This is useful for capturing test coverage on tools that are being tested outside the normal test runner environment.
def test_coverage(virtualenv):
# You will have to install coverage first
virtualenv.install_package(coverage)
virtualenv.run_with_coverage(["my_entry_point", "--arg1", "--arg2"])Changelog
