Plugins

In the previous chapter, we explored one of the most important features of pytest: fixtures. We learned how we can use fixtures to manage resources and make our lives easier when writing tests.

pytest is constructed with customization and flexibility in mind, and allows developers to write powerful extensions called plugins. Plugins in pytest can do all sorts of things, from simply providing a new fixture, all the way to adding command line options, changing how tests are executed, and even running tests written in other languages.

In this chapter, we will do the following:

  • Learn how to find and install plugins
  • Have a taste of what plugins the ecosystem has to offer
