pytest-env

This is a py.test plugin that enables you to set environment variables in the pytest.ini file.

Installation

Install with pip::

pip install pytest-env

Uninstall with pip::

pip uninstall pytest-env

Usage

In your pytest.ini file add a key value pair with env as the key and the environment variables as a line separated list of KEY=VALUE entries. The defined variables will be added to the environment before any tests are run:

[pytest]
env = 
    HOME=~/tmp
    RUN_ENV=test

You can use D: (default) as prefix if you don't want to override existing environment variables:

[pytest]
env = 
    D:HOME=~/tmp
    D:RUN_ENV=test
