Funcargs look like the natural place for this, http://pytest.org/latest/funcargs.html > An example could be a logger that has been opened specially for that > test or conversely, the test could "attach" data which can be processed > by a hook (example: test notes containing measurements, etc.) One could > argue that the logger could be created by a factory but in this case, > the test is correlated to a specific test case ID on our test management > system (testlink) and this information is not available from a factory. Almost all information is available within funcarg factories and can thus be made available to the test through injection. For example, if you have a decorator with a testcase-id then the factory can read it and pass it along to the test etc. > In one of our plugin, I am currently attaching "metadata" to "items" to > convey information between hooks and I wished there was a way for the > test itself to access this. Maybe there is, I just don't know about it. I need some simple example to understand why funcargs would not work if they won't :) best, holger _______________________________________________ py-dev mailing list py-dev@codespeak.net http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/py-dev
