Bake Result

cookies.bake() returns a result instance with a bunch of fields that hold useful information:

• exit_code: is the exit code of cookiecutter, 0 means successful termination
• exception: is the exception that happened if one did
• project: a py.path.local object pointing to the rendered project
• context: is the rendered context

The returned LocalPath instance provides you with a powerful interface to filesystem related information, that comes in handy for validating the generated project layout and even file contents:

def test_readme(cookies):
    result = cookies.bake()

    readme_file = result.project.join('README.rst')
    readme_lines = readme_file.readlines(cr=False)
    assert readme_lines == ['helloworld', '==========']
