`pytest`_ is a mature full-featured Python testing tool that provides easy
no boilerplate testing. Its hook-based customization system supports integration
of external plugins such as **pytest-cookies**.

This plugin comes with a ``cookies`` fixture which is a wrapper for the
`cookiecutter`_ API for generating projects. It helps you verify that your
template is working as expected and takes care of cleaning up after running the
tests.

Installation
------------

**pytest-cookies** is available for download from `PyPI`_ via `pip`_::

    $ pip install pytest-cookies

It will automatically install `pytest`_ along with `cookiecutter`_.

Usage
-----

The ``cookies.bake()`` method generates a new project from your template based on the
default values specified in ``cookiecutter.json``:

.. code-block:: python

    def test_bake_project(cookies):
        result = cookies.bake(extra_context={'repo_name': 'helloworld'})

        assert result.exit_code == 0
        assert result.exception is None
        assert result.project.basename == 'helloworld'
        assert result.project.isdir()

It accepts the ``extra_context`` keyword argument that will be
passed to cookiecutter. The given dictionary will override the default values
of the template context, allowing you to test arbitrary user input data.

Please see the `Injecting Extra Context`_ section of the
official cookiecutter documentation.

Features
--------

``cookies.bake()`` returns a result instance with a bunch of fields that
hold useful information:

* ``exit_code``: is the exit code of cookiecutter, ``0`` means successful termination
* ``exception``: is the exception that happened if one did
* ``project``: a `py.path.local`_ object pointing to the rendered project

The returned ``LocalPath`` instance provides you with a powerful interface
to filesystem related information, that comes in handy for validating the generated
project layout and even file contents:

.. code-block:: python

    def test_readme(cookies):
        result = cookies.bake()

        readme_file = result.project.join('README.rst')
        readme_lines = readme_file.readlines(cr=False)
        assert readme_lines == ['helloworld', '==========']

Issues
------

If you encounter any problems, please `file an issue`_ along with a detailed description.

Contributing
------------
Contributions are very welcome! Tests can be run with `tox`_, please make sure
all of the tests are green before you submit a pull request.
