conftest.py (pytest fixtures)

What it is​

  • A pytest configuration module that provides a reusable fixture returning a YAML-like configuration string for tests.

Public API​

  • test_configuration() (pytest fixture)
    • Returns a multiline string containing test configuration data (workspace, CORS, and service adapter settings).

Configuration/Dependencies​

  • Depends on:
    • pytest (from pytest import fixture)
  • Intended usage:
    • Discovered automatically by pytest when placed in a test directory tree (as conftest.py).

Usage​

# test_example.py
import yaml

def test_can_load_config(test_configuration):
    cfg = yaml.safe_load(test_configuration)
    assert cfg["workspace_id"] == "1234567890"
    assert "services" in cfg

Caveats​

  • The fixture returns a raw string; parsing/validation is the responsibility of the test.
  • The string includes a templated secret reference ({{ secret.OXIGRAPH_URL }}) that may require additional processing in the system under test.
