bootstrap-tests

To bootstrap pytest test infrastructure for a Python project, generate pytest configuration, conftest.py, and common fixtures. This scaffolding creates reusable fixtures and sample tests to ensure immediate test execution.

Setting up pytest fixtures and conftest.py when no tests exist starts with inspecting the project layout. The bootstrap process generates essential fixtures, configuration files, and a starter test suite as a repeatable foundation.

You do not need existing test dependencies declared to generate a pytest configuration. The bootstrap process generates dependency declarations alongside sample tests and fixtures when test dependencies are missing.

You can extend generated sample tests as your codebase evolves. The bootstrap creates a repeatable, extendable foundation with reusable fixtures that grows with evolving testing needs and project complexity.

Use a test infrastructure bootstrap instead of manual pytest setup when conftest.py is missing, no tests exist, or test dependencies are undeclared. It builds complete scaffolding to ensure tests can run immediately.

Bootstrapping test infrastructure works by inspecting the project layout to create the scaffolding. It applies the detected structure to generate reusable fixtures and pytest configuration suited to the specific Python project.
