Instead of failing when an optional plugin isn't installed, enabler simply skips its configuration. You define plugin settings in your pyproject.toml under [tool.pytest-enabler.*] sections, and enabler activates them only if those plugins are present.\n\nThe plugin comes with a default configuration covering common pytest extensions like pytest-black, pytest-cov, pytest-flake8, pytest-mypy, pytest-ruff, pytest-xdist, and pytest-ignore-flaky. You can override or extend these defaults in your own config, and you can still disable any plugin at runtime using pytest's standard -p no:plugin_name flag.","worth_installing":"Yes. If you use pytest and manage optional plugins (formatters, linters, type checkers), enabler eliminates configuration friction by letting you define plugin settings that only apply when those plugins are installed. Low install friction, active maintenance, MIT license, and no known vulnerabilities make it a safe addition to any pytest workflow."},"id":"pytest-enabler","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pytest-enabler","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pytest-enabler.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pytest-enabler/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-05-16","license_spdx":"MIT","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pytest-enabler","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Enable installed pytest plugins"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":90868,"position":13559,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"3.4.0"}
