pytest imp[rovements] is a PyCharm plugin offering a bit more editor integration with pytest than PyCharm currently provides.
- Support for custom
python_classesandpython_functionsin eitherpytest.iniorpyproject.toml(this means little green arrows next to your tests) - Support for completion/typing of fixtures from nested classes
- Support for lambda fixtures from pytest-lambda
pytest imp was originally written to scratch a personal itch: to have support for lambda fixtures, the main gimmick of pytest-lambda (I'm the author), which I use every day.
Eventually, a coworker wanted run line markers (i.e. gutter icons) next to our tests, which were inside test classes that didn't start with Test, with names that didn't start with test_. So I added support for custom python_classes and python_functions configuration in pytest.ini. Later, by request, support for pyproject.toml configs was added.
All of this is to say: we all know how it feels to love PyCharm and use it every day with pytest, and yet it doesn't integrate with <insert feature here>, which is a huge part of my workflow. Well, I, too, know that feel, and I've come to know a thing or two about PyCharm plugin development, so SEND ME YOUR FEATURE REQUESTS!
... and if you want to write a pull request to implement something yourself, I just want to apologize for the messy state of the codebase. It's been more of a plugin development learning testbed than a maintainable product. And Kotlin, while an absolute pleasure to develop with, does offer lots of rope to hang yerself with.
