VS Code Pytest Extension

⚠️ This addon is in alpha. Functionality and elegance are still be developed. If you encounter any issues, bug reports would be appreciated. ⚠️

A VS Code extensions that adds IntelliSense support for pytest fixtures.

This is a shameless inspired to port Pycharm's pytest functionality over to VS Code.

Setup.

The addon requires you to set your pytest command (behind the scenes, the addon runs pytest /path/to/test_file --fixtures to get a list of fixtures)

If you are using a virtual environment, when inside of it, you can find the fully fledged path to pytest by running which pytest.

$ which pytest
/Users/cameron/.virtualenvs/demo-mLN-1lcH/bin/pytest

Then set pytest.command appropriately in your workspace settings.

{
  "pytest.command": "/Users/cameron/.virtualenvs/demo-mLN-1lcH/bin/pytest"
}

If you are using pipenv, your setting might look like....

{
  "pytest.command": "pipenv run pytest"
}

If you are running pytest instead of Docker compose, your setting might look similar too...

{
  "pytest.command": [
    "eval",
    "$(docker-machine env default);",
    "docker-compose",
    "run",
    "--no-deps",
    "api",
    "pytest"
  ]
}
