How to get PyTest working in Visual Studio

Question

I want to integrate PyTest with Visual Studio so my tests show up in the Test Explorer. So far I have not found any way to do this while some old posts here suggest that people have done it before. As far as I can tell, as this article suggests, someone should develop an adapter interface for PyTest. However, other posts like this show that others were successful in getting this to work. But these two have not worked for me so far. Is there a way to get this working?

Answer 1

Support for Pytest in Visual Studio has been added on Visual Studio 2019 (16.3 Preview 2)

You have to change your project's test framework by right-clicking it and going to Properties -> Test

You can add a pytest.ini to your project to configure pytest further.

Answer 2

first you have to Ensure that pytest has been installed in the currently configured python environment. And then you have to configure it like following: Command line options for the pytest can be passed by adding the necessary options into the following section in the user or workspace settings file settings.json: Add the options as individual items as shown below:

"python.unitTest.pyTestArgs": [     "--exitfirst",     "--verbose" ], 

Plz tell me if it is working well
