enablePytestSupport for files other than test_*.py

[Chikowitz]

Hello, I have a problem with enablePytestSupport setting. For me it only works in files that are named like test_*.py. Can I make it so it will work for all the *.py files in a specific folder? I can't influence the name change of the test files, but I want the feature to work for the current workspace configuration.

We call pytest itself to ask what pattern it uses to discover tests. The default is test_*py. If your pytest configuration is set to something different it should pick up other files.

@rchiodo thank you for clarifying, but I'm not sure where should I set the pytest configuration for pylance specifically. I have built-in TestUI working, it picks up all of my tests, I use python.testing.pytestArgs setting for this. I tried to use pytest.ini before I posted the question, but it didn't help. I also use multi-root workspace. So I'm a bit confused of where to specify the test files so pylance would pick it up and use to call pytest.

Thank you, will try it tomorrow and write back 👍good to know that it should work with pytest.ini.

Looks like it doesn't work for me, I've put pytest.ini in each of the root workspace with contents:

[pytest]
python_files = *.py

The script outputs:

Python classes: ['Test']
Python files: ['*.py']    
Python functions: ['test']

So I guess it sees the pytest.ini. But the annotations and "go to" doesn't work for files other than test_*. If I rename the file then it works immediately. So either I'm doing something wrong or pylance doesn't see my pytest.ini somehow.

I've created a sample workspace to test pytest.ini file, and it doesn't work for me (see the difference between 123.py and 123_test.py)

Okay let me try and see if I can reproduce the problem.

Yeah I can reproduce the problem. I'll open an issue.
