It provides fixtures (io_loop, http_server, http_client, base_url, http_port) and a gen_test marker that let you write tests for Tornado web applications using both generator-based coroutines (yield) and modern async/await syntax. The plugin manages the IOLoop lifecycle per test, spins up temporary HTTP/HTTPS servers, and handles timeouts automatically.\n\nYou define a Tornado application as a pytest fixture, then write test functions marked with @pytest.mark.gen_test that can yield or await HTTP requests. The plugin injects fixtures like http_client and base_url so your test can make requests to the test server and verify responses. It also supports HTTPS testing when you provide an ssl_options fixture.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are actively testing a Tornado application and want pytest integration\u2014it eliminates boilerplate for IOLoop and server setup. However, be cautious: the project is abandoned (last release June 2020, no commits since). It works for current Tornado and pytest versions, but you should monitor compatibility and be prepared to fork or switch if breaking changes occur in either dependency.
