- Installable PyPI package featuring a
setup.py. - Test suite running tox and pytest that makes sure your plugin is working as expected
- Working example code for a fixture, a cli option, as well as a pytest.ini option
- Comprehensive
README.rstfile that contains useful information about your plugin - Continuous integration configuration for Travis CI and AppVeyor
- Optional documentation with either Sphinx or MkDocs
- Choose from several licenses, such as MIT, BSD-3, Apache v2.0, GNU GPL v3.0, or MPL v2.0
If you plan on submitting your plugin to the pytest-dev organization you need to meet the following requirements:
- PyPI presence with a setup.py that contains a license, pytest- prefixed, version number, authors, short and long description.
- a tox.ini for running tests using tox.
- a README describing how to use the plugin and on which platforms it runs.
- a LICENSE file or equivalent containing the licensing information, with matching info in setup.py.
- an issue tracker unless you rather want to use the core pytest issue tracker.
Please see the official guidelines at Submit a Plugin.
Please consult the pytest docs for more information on hooks at pytest hook reference.
