Thanks for the tip about conftest.py. That wasn't mentioned in the documentation. From the link to the past discussion I was able to figure it out and the info about conftest.py was key. Here's my setup now and how it differs from the documentation:
1. The test() function added to myimporter__init__.py is unnecessary. It can be removed. 2. Add `conftest.py` to base directory with the contents # This adds the --generate option. # pylint: disable=invalid-name pytest_plugins = "beancount.ingest.regression_pytest" 3. Don't put your test files in the same directory as the __init__.py file. Otherwise, the tests will attempted to be run on all files, not just files that match identity(). Instead make a sub directory under the importer and place files there. 4. Create a `test_importer.py` file with the following contents: from pathlib import Path from beancount.ingest import regression_pytest as regtest from importers.fidelity import Importer IMPORTER = Importer() @regtest.with_importer(IMPORTER) @regtest.with_testdir(Path(__file__).parent / 'testdata') class TestImporter(regtest.ImporterTestBase): pass In summary, my file directory setup looks like this beancount/ beancount/my.beancount beancount/conftest.py beancount/importers/fidelity/__init__.py # Importer code beancount/importers/fidelity/testdata/ # directory for files to test beancount/importers/fidelity/testdata/my_sample.csv Then run the following to generate the output files to be used by the tests. pytest --gen This will show the tests as skipped.
