We have configured ``pytest`` to search for tests in the application package and in the ``tests`` package. -- ``.coveragerc`` - controls coverage config. +- The ``tool.coverage.run`` stanza of ``pyproject.toml`` controls coverage config. In our setup, it works with the ``pytest-cov`` plugin that we use via the ``--cov`` options to the ``pytest`` command. -- ``testing.ini`` - a mirror of ``development.ini`` and ``production.ini`` that contains settings used for executing the test suite. +- The ``testing.ini`` file is a mirror of ``development.ini`` and ``production.ini`` that contains settings used for executing the test suite. Most importantly, it contains the database connection information used by tests that require the database. -- ``project.optional-dependencies`` in ``pyproject.toml`` - controls the dependencies installed when testing. - When the list is changed, it is necessary to re-run ``$VENV/bin/pip install -e ".[testing]"`` to ensure the new dependencies are installed. - -- ``tests/conftest.py`` - the core fixtures available throughout our tests. +- The ``tests/conftest.py`` file defines the core fixtures available throughout our tests. The fixtures are explained in more detail in the following sections. Open ``tests/conftest.py`` and follow along.
