inline-snapshot is a new tool that I am trying out for python testing. It
takes snapshots of your outputs and places them inline with the test.
Here is the most basic starter.
import inline_snapshot
def test_one():
assert 1 == snapshot()
Now when I run pytest my tests will fail because my assert has no value, but if I
run pytest --inline-snapshot=create it will fill out my snapshot values and the
file will then look like this.
import inline_snapshot
def test_one():
assert 1 == snapshot(1)
It also works with pydantic models.
class MyModel(BaseModel):
name: str
age: int
nickname: str | None = None
def test_my_model_instance():
assert MyModel(name="Waylon", age=1) == snapshot(MyModel(name="Waylon", age=1))
def test_my_model_fields():
me = MyModel(name="Waylon", age=1, nickname='Waylon')
assert me.name == snapshot("Waylon")
assert me.age == snapshot(1)
assert me.nickname == snapshot("Waylon")
