pytest-tempdir

Adds support for a predictable and repeatable temporary directory.

This Pytest plugin was generated with Cookiecutter along with @hackebrot's Cookiecutter-pytest-plugin template.

Features

• Adds support for a predictable and repeatable temporary directory through the tempdir fixture which gets cleaned up in the end of the test run session(this behaviour can be disabled).

Requirements

• None!

Installation

You can install "pytest-tempdir" via pip from PyPI:

$ pip install pytest-tempdir

Usage

• Simply define a pytest_tempdir_basename function on your conftest.py which returns a string to define the basename or pass --tempdir-basename.
• If you wish to leave the temporary directory intact for further inspection after the tests suite ends, pass --tempdir-no-clean.
