# The devel/py-test-datafiles port

## py3-test-datafiles-3.0.0p2 – create a 'tmp_path' with predefined files/directories

## Description

    pytest plugin to create a tmp_path containing a preconfigured set of files
    and/or directories.

    This plugin allows you to specify one or several files/directories that are
    copied to a temporary directory (tmp_path) before the execution of the test.
    This means the original files are not modified and every test runs on its own
    version of the same files.

    Files/directories can be specified either as strings or as pathlib.Path objects.

    To take advantage of the datafiles fixture in a test function, add datafiles as
    one of the test function parameters (per usual with pytest fixtures) and
    decorate the test function with
    @pytest.mark.datafiles(file1, file2, dir1, dir2, ...).

    The datafiles variable in your test function is a pathlib.Path object (tmp_path)
    where the copied files are located.
    Under OpenBSD systems this will most likely be some subdirectory of /tmp/.
