Hi I was talking to ronny on IRC about wanting a generic funcarg hook and he asked me to post my use case here as you are still thinking about the API for it. Since there is no generic funcarg hook now this is how I currently create the tests:
def pytest_funcarg__tdata(request): fname = os.path.join(DATADIR, requst.function.__name__+'.ext') with file(fname) as fd: obj = fd.read() return obj def test_spam(tdata): assert func_under_test(tdata) == 'foo' def test_eggs(tdata): assert func_under_test(tdata) == 'bar' Before I started writing it this way I was looking for a generic funcarg hook since I think this would have been clearer if I could have used "spam" and "eggs" as funcargs and still create the object for them from one function rather then having to spell it out for each one. So I'm hoping that in a future version you might add an API to do allow something like this. -- Debian GNU/Linux -- The Power of Freedom www.debian.org | www.gnu.org | www.kernel.org _______________________________________________ py-dev mailing list py-dev@codespeak.net http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/py-dev
