Pytest Helpers Namespace

This plugin does not provide any helpers to pytest, it does, however, provide a helpers namespace in pytest which enables you to register helper functions in your conftest.py to be used within your tests without having to import them.

Features

• Provides a helpers pytest_ namespace which can be used to register helper functions without requiring you to import them on your actual tests to use them.

Requirements

• None!

Installation

You can install "pytest-helpers-namespace" via pip_ from PyPI_::

$ pip install pytest-helpers-namespace

Usage

Consider the following conftest.py file:

.. code-block:: python

import pytest

@pytest.helpers.register def foo(bar): """ this dumb helper function will just return what you pass to it """ return bar

And now consider the following test case:

.. code-block:: python

def test_helper_namespace(): assert pytest.helpers.foo(True) is True

Pretty simple right?!

You can even nest namespaces. Consider the following conftest.py file:

.. code-block:: python

pytest_plugins = ["helpers_namespace"]

import pytest

@pytest.helpers.can.haz.register def foo(bar): """ this dumb helper function will just return what you pass to it """ return bar

And now consider the following test case:

.. code-block:: python

def test_helper_namespace(): assert pytest.helpers.can.haz.foo(True) is True

You can even pass a name to the register function and that will be the helper function name.
