Hi all, it's me again.
I'm wondering what's the common pattern of pytest users regarding the use of
monkey-patching and temporary directories in setup functions. I already have my
own "home-brewed" (again!) mechanism for that, but I want to "pytest-ify" the
way I write tests.
So far, the only solution I can come up with is to have all tests use the
funcarg(s) and pass them to the setup function when they're called. Example:
def my_setup(monkeypatch, tmpdir):
moneypatch.setattr(module, 'something', foo)
tmpdir.mkdir('bar')
def test1(monkeypatch, tmpdir):
my_setup(monkeypatch, tmpdir)
# test stuff
def test2(monkeypatch, tmpdir):
my_setup(monkeypatch, tmpdir)
# test stuff
This code works, but it seems repetitive to me, especially if only the setup
use the monkeypatching and tmpdir, not the tests themselves. What are other
pytest users doing in these situations? Is there some clever trick I'm unaware
of? I'm certainly not the only person in that situation, am I?
Thanks,
Virgil Dupras
