How to set up bash completion¶
When using bash as your shell, pytest
can use argcomplete
(https://kislyuk.github.io/argcomplete/) for auto-completion.
For this argcomplete
needs to be installed and enabled.
Install argcomplete using:
sudo pip install 'argcomplete>=0.5.7'
For global activation of all argcomplete enabled python applications run:
sudo activate-global-python-argcomplete
For permanent (but not global) pytest
activation, use:
register-python-argcomplete pytest >> ~/.bashrc
For one-time activation of argcomplete for pytest
only, use:
eval "$(register-python-argcomplete pytest)"
