pytest-code-review

Pytest code review audits test files for async pattern weaknesses, fixture misuses, and mocking pitfalls. It identifies problems like incorrect AsyncMock usage, improper coroutine awaiting, fixture scope violations, and wrong patch targets to improve test reliability.

Verify that async test functions properly await coroutines, use AsyncMock instead of Mock for async callables, and handle fixture lifecycle correctly. This prevents race conditions and ensures async tests execute as intended.

Use @pytest.mark.parametrize to run the same test logic across multiple input sets, eliminating repetitive test functions. Code review identifies gaps where parametrization could consolidate redundant tests into a single, maintainable case.

The review detects incorrect patch targets, mismatched Mock vs. AsyncMock usage, missing coroutine awaits, and fixture cleanup oversights. Fixing these prevents tests from passing despite production bugs.

Yes, apply the checklist to any test_*.py file and run pytest to surface issues. The review works with existing test suites to identify async, fixture, parametrization, and mocking problems incrementally.

Yes, it validates fixture scope and cleanup strategies—function, class, module, and session scopes—ensuring fixtures initialize and tear down correctly for each test execution.
