6 min readWhen running pytest, temporary files are often generated as part of the testing process. To automatically delete these temporary files after the tests have completed, you can utilize built-in pytest fixtures such as tmpdir or tmp_path. These fixtures provide a convenient way to create temporary directories or files during testing, and they are automatically cleaned up at the end of the test run.

6 min readIn order to add an environment variable to pytest, you can use the pytest command followed by the --env flag and the name of the environment variable you want to set. For example, to add an environment variable named MY_ENV_VAR with a value of testing, you can run pytest --env MY_ENV_VAR=testing. This will make the environment variable available to your pytest tests during execution.[rating:b1c44d88-9206-437e-9aff-ba3e2c424e8f]How to store environment variables securely in pytest.

5 min readTo get rid of pytest warnings, you can try the following approaches:Upgrade pytest to the latest version to ensure compatibility with your code and dependencies.Check for any warnings in your test cases or test fixtures and update them accordingly.Use the "--disable-warnings" flag when running pytest to suppress all warning messages.Look for deprecated functions or outdated syntax in your test code and update them to the latest version.
-
5 min readTo capture print statements inside pytest hooks, you can use the capsys fixture provided by pytest. This fixture captures the stdout and stderr streams from the test function and allows you to access them for inspection.You can use the capsys.readouterr() method to capture the captured output as a tuple of stdout and stderr strings. This allows you to assert on the printed output within your test function.
-
5 min readIn pytest, you can skip tests based on a condition by using the skipif decorator. This decorator takes a condition as an argument and skips the test if the condition evaluates to True. You can use any valid Python expression as the condition.For example, if you only want to run a test on certain operating systems, you can use the platform module to check the current operating system and skip the test if it doesn't match: import platform import pytest @pytest.mark.skipif(platform.system() .
-
6 min readIn pytest, tests can be executed from inside a class by using the pytest.mark.parametrize decorator to mark the test function with specific parameters. This allows for multiple test cases to be run using the same test function. Additionally, test functions within a class can be marked with the @pytest.mark.parametrize decorator to run multiple test cases with different parameters. Finally, the pytest fixture decorator can be used to set up and tear down any necessary resources for the test.

6 min readTo inject pygame events from pytest, you can create a custom pytest fixture that simulates the desired events. This fixture can be used in your test functions to inject events such as key presses, mouse clicks, and joystick movements.First, you will need to import the necessary modules for pytest and pygame in your test file. Then, define a fixture that initializes the pygame event queue and generates custom events using pygame.event.post().
-
6 min readTo pass a parameter to a pytest fixture, you can declare the fixture with a parameter in its definition. When you use the fixture in a test function, you can specify the value for the parameter. This allows you to customize the behavior of the fixture for different test scenarios. Additionally, you can use fixture factories to dynamically create fixtures with different parameter values.

4 min readTo read an XML node text with spaces using PowerShell, you can use the Select-Xml cmdlet to select the specific node and then access its InnerText property to get the text value, even if it contains spaces. Use the following code snippet as an example: $xml = [xml](Get-Content "path/to/xmlfile.xml") $node = Select-Xml -Xml $xml -XPath "//node/with/spaces" $nodeValue = $node.Node.
-
6 min readTo export output from PowerShell to a CSV file, you can use the Export-CSV cmdlet. This cmdlet allows you to create a CSV file containing the output of a command or script. You can pipe the output of a command to Export-CSV and specify the file path where you want to save the CSV file. This way, you can easily store the output of PowerShell commands in a format that can be easily shared and analyzed in other applications.
-
4 min readTo copy folder structure only with PowerShell, you can use the following command: Get-ChildItem -Path "source_folder_path" -Recurse | Where-Object { $_.PSIsContainer } | foreach { $_.FullName.Replace("source_folder_path", "destination_folder_path") } Replace "source_folder_path" with the path of the folder you want to copy and "destination_folder_path" with the path of the destination folder where you want to copy the folder structure.
