Fix customization of pytest-astropy-header when running with tox #439

Closed astrofrog closed 1 year ago

astrofrog commented 4 years ago

In https://github.com/astropy/package-template/pull/438 @mhvk pointed out that the pytest-astropy-header isn't picking up the custom configuration in conftest.py in time and the header is therefore not being customized, so this issue is a reminder to fix this.

One idea mentioned in #438 was to make setup.cfg the primary place to specify the packages to show in the pytest-astropy-header and to somehow have that be copied into the package, either by generating/modifying the conftest.py file or by generating a secondary file, e.g. conftest.header that gets read in by conftest.py. An argument against just generating conftest.py is that that file can also be used for other purposes/customizations.

One elegant solution would be to do something along the lines of what https://github.com/noirbizarre/setuptools-meta does - because it means we don't actually create additional files but the installed distribution can be given access to more of the metadata in setup.cfg.
