Example for using pyproject.toml for setting env vars

[setu4993]

Thanks for creating and maintaining this package!

Can you please provide an example of using this library with pyproject.toml files that pytest config supports? Neither of the below work. 1:

[tool.pytest.ini_options]
env =[
    "HOME=~/tmp",
    "RUN_ENV=test"
]

2:

[tool.pytest.ini_options]
env ="HOME=~/tmp\nRUN_ENV=test"

The first option works for me

env = [
  "environment=test",
  "api_key=foo"
]

[setu4993]

@nermand : Interesting. It still doesn't work for me. I'm probably doing something wrong.

pyproject.toml:

...
[tool.pytest.ini_options]
env = [
 "environment=test",
 "api_key=foo"
]

test_env.py:

from os import environ

def test_env_environment():
    assert environ["environment"] == "test"

def test_env_api_key():
    assert environ["api_key"] == "foo"

FWIW I am using python-dotenv for loading .env variables.
Not sure if that affects how envs are parsed

[setu4993]

No luck even after adding python-dotenv and pytest-dotenv for me :/.

The following works for me, and I'm not using python-dotenv:

[tool.pytest.ini_options]
env = '''
    HOME=~/tmp
    RUN_ENV=test
'''

[setu4993]

Thanks @nermand and @bosatsu! Good pointers. I can confirm that any of the below work without python-dotenv or pytest-dotenv: 1.

[tool.pytest.ini_options]
env = [
 "HOME=~/tmp",
 "RUN_ENV=test"
]

2. [tool.pytest.ini_options]
   env ="HOME=~/tmp\nRUN_ENV=test"

3. [tool.pytest.ini_options]
   env = """
   HOME=~/tmp
   RUN_ENV=test
   """

If it doesn't recommend rechecking the pytest version. My pytest version was downgraded to <6.0, without me noticing, and since pyproject.toml support was added in 6.0+, it wasn't working.
