SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Async testing for Python projects, enabling reliable tests for async code with pytest, pytest-asyncio, and httpx, along with fixtures and built-in coverage reporting.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Async test support with pytest-asyncio for coroutines and async functions.
  • HTTP client testing with httpx to exercise API endpoints.
  • Reusable fixtures (db_session, client, and auth_token) to streamline setup and support test-first development.
  • Coverage reporting to quantify test quality and guide improvements.

Quick Start

Run the test suite with pytest to execute async tests and generate coverage reports.

Frequently Asked Questions about pytest-testing

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I test async Python functions with pytest?

To test async Python functions with pytest, you use pytest-asyncio to handle coroutine execution. This Skill provides the necessary pytest.ini settings and conftest.py fixtures to run async tests reliably without manual event loop management.

How do I set up shareable fixtures for test-first development in Python?

Shareable fixtures for test-first development are defined in a conftest.py file. This Skill provides reusable fixtures like db_session, client, and auth_token to streamline setup across your test suite.

Can I use httpx to test API endpoints in an async pytest environment?

Yes, you can use httpx to test API endpoints within an async pytest environment. This Skill includes httpx integration to exercise API endpoints asynchronously alongside pytest-asyncio fixtures.

How do I generate coverage reports for async tests in pytest?

Coverage reports for async tests are generated by configuring addopts in pytest.ini. This Skill declares integrated coverage reporting settings to quantify test quality when the test suite runs.

What is the best way to configure pytest.ini for asyncio mode and test paths?

Configuring pytest.ini for asyncio mode involves setting asyncio_mode and testpaths directives. This Skill satisfies this requirement by declaring these specific settings to ensure correct behavior under async conditions.
