A plugin for loading environment variables from a .envrc file when tests are executed.
While running pytest from your terminal will likely do this on its own, this plugin is
useful when you are using an external test harness (e.g. the "Testing" panel in Visual
Studio Code).
This plugin expects direnv to be installed and configured. For more information on direnv see [direnv.net].
simply install this plugin in your pytest-enabled project and you are good to go!
pip install pytest-direnv
poetry add --dev pytest-direnv
This plugin hooks into pytest_load_initial_conftests so it runs on test startup. When
loaded, it will use direnv in an external shell process to load the .envrc file for
your test directory and export any environment variables set in that shell to your test
environment.
Any variables exported by .envrc that are already present in your test environment
will not be overwritten. Presumably you have set these explicitly in your test runner.
