Welcome to pytest-home documentation!¶
- pytest_home.fixtures.tmp_home_dir(monkeypatch, tmp_path_factory)¶
A temporary home directory fixture.
Configures the home directory to a temporary directory, hiding the user’s dotfiles and other home-bound state.
Before the fixture is enacted, home resolves to the user’s usual home dir.
>>> import pathlib >>> orig = pathlib.Path('~').expanduser()
When the fixture is triggered, it alters the home directory, returning the altered directory.
>>> home = getfixture('tmp_home_dir')
Home is empty by default (feel free to inject state as needed).
>>> list(home.iterdir()) []
Now
~expands to the temporary home.>>> pathlib.Path('~').expanduser() == home True >>> pathlib.Path('~').expanduser() == orig False
