Installation
pytest-cookies is available for download from PyPI via pip:
$ pip install pytest-cookies
It will automatically install pytest along with cookiecutter.
Usage
The cookies.bake()
method generates a new project from your template based on the
default values specified in cookiecutter.json
:
def test_bake_project(cookies):
result = cookies.bake(extra_context={'repo_name': 'helloworld'})
assert result.exit_code == 0
assert result.exception is None
assert result.project.basename == 'helloworld'
assert result.project.isdir()
It accepts the extra_context
keyword argument that will be
passed to cookiecutter. The given dictionary will override the default values
of the template context, allowing you to test arbitrary user input data.
Please see the Injecting Extra Context section of the official cookiecutter documentation.
