About This Skill
What it does
The pytest skill enables AI agents to run and manage Python unit tests using the popular pytest framework. It allows users to execute test suites, generate reports, and identify failures or errors in code. This is particularly useful for developers who need automated testing capabilities within their workflows.
When to use it
- You want to automate running Python unit tests as part of a CI/CD pipeline.
- You're debugging an application and need detailed feedback from test runs.
- Your development workflow requires integration with pytest for continuous testing.
Key capabilities
- Execute pytest commands in a controlled environment.
- Generate test reports and summaries.
- Identify failing tests and provide error details.
Example prompts
- "Run all unit tests in the current directory using pytest."
- "Generate an HTML report of the latest test run."
- "Identify which tests failed in the last pytest execution."
Tips & gotchas
- Ensure that pytest is installed in your environment before using this skill.
- Test files must be structured correctly (e.g., named
test_*.py) for pytest to recognize them.
