HA core version

Package to automatically extract testing plugins from Home Assistant for custom component testing. The goal is to provide the same functionality as the tests in home-assistant/core. pytest-homeassistant-custom-component is updated daily according to the latest homeassistant release including beta.

Usage:

tests/
   fixtures/
      some_data.json
   test_sensor.py
  • When using syrupy snapshots, add a snapshot fixture to conftest.py to make sure the snapshots are loaded from snapshot folder colocated with the tests.
    from pytest_homeassistant_custom_component.syrupy import HomeAssistantSnapshotExtension
    from syrupy.assertion import SnapshotAssertion


    @pytest.fixture
    def snapshot(snapshot: SnapshotAssertion) -> SnapshotAssertion:
        """Return snapshot assertion fixture with the Home Assistant extension."""
        return snapshot.use_extension(HomeAssistantSnapshotExtension)

More Info

This repository is set up to be nearly fully automatic.

  • Version of home-assistant/core is given in ha_version, pytest_homeassistant_custom_component.const, and in the README above.
  • This package is generated against published releases of homeassistant and updated daily.
  • PRs should not include changes to the pytest_homeassistant_custom_component files. CI testing will automatically generate the new files.

Version Strategy

  • When changes in extraction are required, there will be a change in the minor version.
  • A change in the patch version indicates that it was an automatic update with a homeassistant version.
  • This enables tracking back to which versions of pytest-homeassistant-custom-component can be used for extracting testing utilities from which version of homeassistant.

This package was inspired by pytest-homeassistant by @boralyl, but is intended to more closely and automatically track the home-assistant/core library.
