💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'src' instead of 'tests' for testpaths.

Leaving testpaths empty or missing.

The 'testpaths' option in setup.cfg tells pytest where to find test files. Usually, tests are in the 'tests' folder.

Complete the code to add markers configuration in setup.cfg.

PyTest

[tool:pytest]
markers =
    slow: marks tests as slow (skip with -m "not slow")

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using unrelated marker names like 'fast' or 'ui' here.

Forgetting to add markers section.

Markers help categorize tests. 'db' is commonly used for tests needing database access.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Ignoring 'cache' instead of '__pycache__'.

Using unrelated folders like 'build' or 'dist'.

The '__pycache__' directory stores Python bytecode cache and should be ignored by pytest.

Fill both blanks to configure pytest to show detailed info and stop after first failure.

PyTest

[tool:pytest]
addopts = [1] [2]

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

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using '-q' which reduces output instead of '-v'.

Using '--maxfail=1' instead of '-x' for stopping early.

The '-v' option shows detailed test info, and '-x' stops testing after the first failure.

Fill all three blanks to configure pytest to add markers, ignore cache, and set test paths.

PyTest

[tool:pytest]
markers = [1]: marks tests needing network
addopts = --ignore=[2]
testpaths = [3]

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Mixing marker names or ignoring wrong folders.

Setting testpaths to wrong folder.

The 'network' marker labels network tests, '__pycache__' is ignored, and 'tests' is the folder with test files.
