YAML anchors/references to reuse #276

Open nitzanav opened 6 years ago

Hi,

I think that YAML is coming with power of references to reuse tests.

For example complex tests with little difference in output, or even entire test suite.

Like they did in tavern (similar tool to pyresttest)- https://github.com/taverntesting/tavern/blob/master/example/advanced/test_server.tavern.yaml#L56

Since PyYAML is used, maybe it is supported out of the box and just not documented.

PyYAML supports it http://pyyaml.org/wiki/PyYAMLDocumentation

Any input?
