What I do

I implement a complete Python pytest test generation workflow by extending the test-generator-framework:

1. Analyze Python Codebase: Scan Python application to identify functions, classes, and modules
2. Detect Python Testing Setup: Identify pytest version and Poetry availability
3. Generate Python-Specific Scenarios: Create comprehensive test scenarios covering:
   • Happy paths, edge cases, and error handling
   • Python-specific patterns (decorators, context managers, async functions)
4. Delegate to Framework: Use test-generator-framework for core test generation workflow
5. Ensure Executability: Verify tests run with poetry run pytest or pytest

When to use me

Use this workflow when:

• You need to create comprehensive pytest test files for a Python application
• You want to ensure all edge cases and error conditions are covered
• You need tests that integrate with Poetry environments
• You prefer a systematic approach to test generation with user confirmation
• You want to ensure tests run correctly with your project's pytest version

Framework: This skill extends test-generator-framework for core test generation workflow, adding Python-specific functionality.

Prerequisites

• Python project with Poetry (pyproject.toml) or pip (requirements.txt)
• Pytest installed and configured in project
• Python source code to test
• Appropriate file permissions to create test files

Note: Poetry is optional. If Poetry is installed and pyproject.toml exists, tests will use poetry run pytest. Otherwise, tests will use pytest directly.

Steps

Step 1: Analyze Python Codebase

• Use glob patterns to find Python files: **/*.py
• Exclude test files: **/test_*.py, **/*_test.py, **/tests/**/*.py
• Read each Python file to identify:
  • Functions: def function_name(parameters):
  • Classes: class ClassName:
  • Methods: def method_name(self, parameters):
  • Async functions: async def async_function():
  • Decorators: @decorator_name
  • Context managers: with context_manager():
• Identify import statements to understand dependencies
