It automatically detects test binaries built with Google Test, Boost.Test, or Catch2, and integrates them into your pytest workflow.\n\nThe plugin lets you run mixed Python and C++ test suites with a single pytest command, apply pytest's standard filtering (like -k for keyword matching), generate unified JUnit XML reports, and parallelize C++ test execution using pytest-xdist. It supports configuration options for specifying which files to test, passing arguments to C++ test binaries, and wrapping test execution with tools like valgrind or emulators for cross-compilation scenarios.","worth_installing":"Yes. If you maintain a multi-language project with C++ and Python tests, this plugin eliminates the need for separate test runners and reporting pipelines. It has low install friction, active maintenance, no known vulnerabilities, and a permissive MIT license. The only prerequisite is having compiled C++ test binaries; the plugin does not compile code itself."},"id":"pytest-cpp","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pytest-cpp","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pytest-cpp.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pytest-cpp/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-09-18","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pytest-cpp","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Use pytest's runner to discover and execute C++ tests"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":277298,"position":8148,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.6.0"}
