What is this

 

This is a pytest plugin provides a couple of fixtures to match test output against patterns stored in files. Expectations/pattern files are stored in a base directory, and additional paths are based on the test module name, test class name, and test function name:

<base-dir>/<test-module-name>/[test-class-name/]<test-function-name>[[<callspec-id>]]

Having output expectations/pattern files separate from tests helps to reduce the code of the latter and match the output more than just a few lines.
