This is a cool snapshot testing tool that automatically creates, and updates test values for you.
Starting with some test code.
``` python
from inline_snapshot import snapshot
def something():
return 1548 * 18489
def test_something():
assert something() == snapshot()
```
now if I run `pytest` my tests will fail because my assert will fail, but if I run `pytest --inline-snapshot=create` it will fill out my snapshot values and the file will then look like this.
``` python
from inline_snapshot import snapshot
def something():
return 1548 * 18489
def test_something():
assert something() == snapshot(28620972)
```
