pytest-enabler

3.4.0 verified Sat May 09 auth: no python

pip install pytest-enabler

Common errors

error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pytest_enabler' ↓

cause Trying to import pytest_enabler explicitly in test code.

fix

Remove the import; pytest-enabler is a plugin, not a regular library. Just install it.

Warnings

gotcha pytest-enabler works automatically; there's no need to import it or register it in conftest.py. Attempting to import it directly does nothing special. ↓

fix Just install it; pytest finds it as a plugin.

breaking Version 3.0.0 dropped support for Python 3.7 and 3.8. Requires Python >=3.9. ↓

fix Upgrade Python to 3.9+ or stick with pytest-enabler <3.0.0.
