pytest-copie is a pytest plugin that comes with a copie fixture which is a wrapper on top the copier API for generating projects. It helps you verify that your template is working as expected and takes care of cleaning up after running the tests. 📒
It is an adaptation of the pytest-cookies plugin for copier templates.
It’s here to help templates designers to check that everything works as expected on the generated files including (but not limited to):
- linting operations
- testing operations
- packaging operations
- documentation operations
- …
pytest-copie is available on PyPI and can be installed with pip:
pip install pytest-copieThe copie fixture will allow you to copy a template and run tests against it. It will also clean up the generated project after the tests have been run.
def test_template(copie):
res = copie.copy(extra_answers={"repo_name": "helloworld"})
assert res.exit_code == 0
assert res.exception is None
assert result.project_dir.is_dir()Context and template location can be fully customized, see our documentation for more details.
