Fixture request object in PyTest - Interactive Code Practice

Practice - 5 Tasks

1fill in blank

easy

Complete the code to access the test function name using the request fixture.

PyTest

def test_example(request):
    test_name = request.[1]
    assert test_name == 'test_example'

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'request.param' which is for parameterized fixtures.

Trying to access 'request.config' which is for pytest config.

Using 'request.fixturename' which is not a valid attribute.

The request fixture's node.name attribute gives the current test function's name.

2fill in blank

medium

Complete the code to get the current test module's filename using the request fixture.

PyTest

def test_module_name(request):
    module_file = request.node.[1]
    assert module_file.endswith('.py')

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Amodule.__file__

Bmodule.file

Cmodule.filename

Dmodule.path

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'module.file' which does not exist.

Using 'module.filename' which is not a valid attribute.

Using 'module.path' which is not correct.

The request.node.module.__file__ attribute gives the filename of the test module.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the code to correctly access the test class name using the request fixture.

PyTest

def test_class_name(request):
    cls_name = request.node.[1]
    assert cls_name == 'TestExample'

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Aparent.__name__

Bclass.__name__

Ccls.__name__

Dmodule.__name__

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'class' keyword which is reserved in Python.

Using 'parent' which is not an attribute of request.node.

Using 'module.__name__' which gives module name, not class name.

The test class name is accessed via 'request.node.cls.__name__'.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a fixture that uses the request object to print the current test function name and module.

PyTest

@pytest.fixture
def print_test_info(request):
    print('Running:', request.node.[1])
    print('Module:', request.node.[2].__file__)

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Aname

Bmodule

Ccls

Dparent

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'cls' instead of 'name' for function name.

Using 'parent' which is not valid.

Mixing up module and class attributes.

request.node.name gives the test function name; request.node.module gives the module object.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to write a fixture that skips a test if the test function name contains 'skip'.

PyTest

import pytest

@pytest.fixture(autouse=True)
def skip_if_name_contains_skip(request):
    if 'skip' in request.node.[1]:
        pytest.[2](reason='Skipped because test name contains skip')

    yield

    # Post-test code can go here

# Example test

def test_skip_example():
    assert True

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Aname

Bskip

Cskipif

Dskip(reason='')

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'skipif' as a function instead of a decorator.

Trying to call 'skip' with parentheses in options.

Using wrong attribute instead of 'name'.

Use 'request.node.name' to get the test name, and 'pytest.skip' to skip the test during runtime.
