Unit testing XSLT files in pycharm

Question

I wrote several xslt files. Within each file, I have multiple templates to modify strings, so I am trying to find a way to create unit tests for these templates. Is there is a way to test xslt files in PyCharm with pytest?

Answer 1

Answering this for anyone else who wants to test xslt files in python using pytest: I am using lxml.etree to parse the a sample XML file and the xslt file I have, then using lxml.etree.XSLT and transform() to transform the html output into an etree object. I can compare what I expect to be within certain tags to what is actually there based on the xslt transformation.
