当使用Python的pytest框架进行测试时，Pycharm会为测试生成奇怪的代码模板

Question

Why is PyCharm generating the following code template, when clicking "Create New Test..:", even though I have pytest as my default test runner?

If my function is create_training_data , then PyCharm will generate the following code for this:

from unittest import TestCase

class TestCreate_training_data(TestCase):
    def test_create_training_data(self):
    self.fail()

Yet pytest neither needs the import, nor the subclassing, having

class TestCreate_training_data(object):
    def test_create_training_data(self):
    self.fail()

would be enough as already the getting started page shows: https://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/getting-started.html

Answer 1

PyCharm only knows how to create unittest tests at the moment. Please vote for the corresponding feature request: PY-15021 .
