pytest
The pytest Python test framework (https://docs.pytest.org/).
Backend: pants.backend.python
Config section: [pytest]
Basic options
args
args
--pytest-args="[<shell_str>, <shell_str>, ...]", ... -- [<shell_str> [<shell_str> [...]]]
PANTS_PYTEST_ARGS
[]
Arguments to pass directly to Pytest, e.g. --pytest-args='-k test_foo --quiet'
.
False
If true, Pants will use pytest-xdist
(https://pytest-xdist.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) to parallelize tests within each python_test
target.
NOTE: Enabling pytest-xdist
can cause high-level scoped fixtures (for example session
) to execute more than once. See the pytest-xdist
docs for more info: https://pypi.org/project/pytest-xdist/#making-session-scoped-fixtures-execute-only-once
True
If true, export a virtual environment with Pytest when running ./pants export
.
This can be useful, for example, with IDE integrations to point your editor to the tool's binary.
Advanced options
pytest==7.0.1
Requirement string for the tool.
extra_requirements
extra_requirements
--pytest-extra-requirements="['<str>', '<str>', ...]"
PANTS_PYTEST_EXTRA_REQUIREMENTS
[ "pytest-cov>=2.12,!=2.12.1,<3.1", "pytest-xdist>=2.5,<3" ]
Any additional requirement strings to use with the tool. This is useful if the tool allows you to install plugins or if you need to constrain a dependency to a certain version.
<default>
Path to a lockfile used for installing the tool.
Set to the string <default>
to use a lockfile provided by Pants, so long as you have not changed the --version
and --extra-requirements
options, and the tool's interpreter constraints are compatible with the default. Pants will error or warn if the lockfile is not compatible (controlled by [python].invalid_lockfile_behavior
). See https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/blob/release_2.14.2rc2/src/python/pants/backend/python/subsystems/pytest.lock for the default lockfile contents.
Set to the string <none>
to opt out of using a lockfile. We do not recommend this, though, as lockfiles are essential for reproducible builds and supply-chain security.
To use a custom lockfile, set this option to a file path relative to the build root, then run ./pants generate-lockfiles --resolve=pytest
.
Alternatively, you can set this option to the path to a custom lockfile using pip's requirements.txt-style, ideally with --hash
. Set [python].invalid_lockfile_behavior = 'ignore'
so that Pants does not complain about missing lockfile headers.
pytest
The console script for the tool. Using this option is generally preferable to (and mutually exclusive with) specifying an --entry-point since console script names have a higher expectation of staying stable across releases of the tool. Usually, you will not want to change this from the default.
None
The entry point for the tool. Generally you only want to use this option if the tool does not offer a --console-script (which this option is mutually exclusive with). Usually, you will not want to change this from the default.
xunit2
The format of generated junit XML files. See https://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/reference.html#confval-junit_family.
None
If a non-empty string, the process execution slot id (an integer) will be exposed to tests under this environment variable name.
None
Path to a config file understood by Pytest (https://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/reference/customize.html#configuration-file-formats). Setting this option will disable [pytest].config_discovery
. Use this option if the config is located in a non-standard location.
True
If true, Pants will include all relevant Pytest config files (e.g. pytest.ini
) during runs. See https://docs.pytest.org/en/stable/customize.html#finding-the-rootdir for where config files should be located for Pytest to discover them.
Use [pytest].config
instead if your config is in a non-standard location.
Deprecated options
True
Deprecated, is scheduled to be removed in version: 2.15.0.dev1.
Use `timeouts` option in the `test` scope instead.
Enable test target timeouts. If timeouts are enabled then test targets with a timeout= parameter set on their target will time out after the given number of seconds if not completed. If no timeout is set, then either the default timeout is used or no timeout is configured.
None
Deprecated, is scheduled to be removed in version: 2.15.0.dev1.
Use `timeout_default` option in the `test` scope instead.
The default timeout (in seconds) for a test target if the timeout
field is not set on the target.
None
Deprecated, is scheduled to be removed in version: 2.15.0.dev1.
Use `timeout_maximum` option in the `test` scope instead.
The maximum timeout (in seconds) that may be used on a python_tests
target.
