Parametrize From File is a library for reading unit test parameters from config files. It works with the pytest framework. Below is the basic workflow that this package enables:

  • Write test cases in a JSON, YAML, TOML, or NestedText file:

    # test_camelot.yml
    test_str_find:
    - str: sir lancelot
      sub: lance
      loc: 4
    
    - str: sir robin
      sub: brave
      loc: -1
  • Decorate the corresponding test functions with @parametrize_from_file:

    # test_camelot.py
    import parametrize_from_file
    
    @parametrize_from_file
    def test_str_find(str, sub, loc):
        assert str.find(sub) == loc
  • Run pytest as usual:
