Temporary directory management in PyTest - Interactive Code Practice

Practice - 5 Tasks

1fill in blank

easy

Complete the code to use pytest's temporary directory fixture.

PyTest

def test_create_file([1]):
    file_path = tmp_path / "test.txt"
    file_path.write_text("hello")
    assert file_path.read_text() == "hello"

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

Atmp_path

Btempfile

Ctemp_dir

Dtmpdir

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'tmpdir' which is a different fixture returning py.path.local object.

Using undefined fixture names like 'temp_dir' or 'tempfile'.

The pytest fixture for a temporary directory path object is named 'tmp_path'.

2fill in blank

medium

Complete the code to create a file inside the pytest temporary directory.

PyTest

def test_write_file(tmp_path):
    file = tmp_path / [1]
    file.write_text("data")
    assert file.read_text() == "data"

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

Aoutput.txt

B"output.txt"

C'output.txt'

Doutput

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Not quoting the file name causing syntax errors.

Using a variable name without quotes.

File names must be strings with quotes in Python, so use "output.txt".

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the test that tries to check if a directory exists in the pytest temp path.

PyTest

def test_dir_exists(tmp_path):
    dir_path = tmp_path / "subdir"
    dir_path.mkdir()
    assert dir_path.[1]()

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

Aisfile

Bexists

Cis_dir

Disdir

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'exists()' which returns True for files and directories.

Using 'isdir()' which is not a valid pathlib method.

Using 'isfile()' which checks for files, not directories.

The correct method to check if a path is a directory is 'is_dir()' with an underscore.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a file and check its size in the pytest temporary directory.

PyTest

def test_file_size(tmp_path):
    file = tmp_path / [1]
    file.write_text("abc")
    size = file.[2]
    assert size == 3

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

A"data.txt"

Bstat

Cstat().st_size

Dstat().st_size()

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'stat' which returns the stat object, not the size.

Using 'stat().st_size()' which is invalid because 'st_size' is an attribute, not a method.

Not quoting the file name.

Trying to get size directly without 'stat()'.

The file name must be a string literal. To get file size, use 'stat().st_size' which directly returns the integer size.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a file, write text, and verify the file exists in pytest temp directory.

PyTest

def test_file_creation(tmp_path):
    file = tmp_path / [1]
    file.[2]("hello world")
    assert file.[3]()

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

A"hello.txt"

Bwrite_text

Cexists

Dread_text

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'read_text()' instead of 'exists()' in the assertion.

Not quoting the file name.

Using wrong method names.

Use a string file name, write_text() to write, and exists() to check file presence.
