This is a py.test plugin that enables you to set environment variables in the pytest.ini file.
Install with pip:
pip install pytest-env
Uninstall with pip:
pip uninstall pytest-env
In your pytest.ini file add a key value pair with env as the key and the environment variables as a line separated list of KEY=VALUE entries. The defined variables will be added to the environment before any tests are run:
[pytest]
env =
HOME=~/tmp
RUN_ENV=test
You can use D: (default) as prefix if you don't want to override existing environment variables:
[pytest]
env =
D:HOME=~/tmp
D:RUN_ENV=test
Lastly, you can use existing environment variables using a python-like format:
[pytest]
env =
RUN_PATH=/run/path/{USER}
