Parametrize From File is a library for reading unit test parameters from config files. It works with the pytest_ framework. Below is the basic workflow that this package enables:

  • Write test cases in a JSON_, YAML_, TOML_, or NestedText_ file:

    .. code-block:: yaml

    test_camelot.yml

    test_str_find:

    • str: sir lancelot sub: lance loc: 4

    • str: sir robin sub: brave loc: -1

  • Decorate the corresponding test functions with @parametrize_from_file:

    .. code-block:: py

    test_camelot.py

    import parametrize_from_file

    @parametrize_from_file def test_str_find(str, sub, loc): assert str.find(sub) == loc

  • Run pytest_ as usual::

    ============================= test session starts ============================== platform linux -- Python 3.10.0, pytest-7.4.0, pluggy-1.2.0 rootdir: /home/arthur/holy_grail collected 2 items

    test_camelot.py .. [100%]
