Installation

Requirements​

  • Python 3.9 or newer
  • pytest 7.0+
  • A project that already uses pytest

pytest-web installs pytest-xdist automatically as a dependency — you don't need to install it separately.

Install from PyPI​

pip install pytest-web
important

pytest-web must be installed in the same Python environment as your project's pytest. If your project uses a virtualenv, activate it first.

Installing into a virtualenv​

# Activate your project's virtualenv first
source .venv/bin/activate        # macOS / Linux
.venv\Scripts\activate           # Windows

# Then install
pip install pytest-web

Installing into a conda environment​

conda activate my-env
pip install pytest-web

Verify the install​

pytest-web --version

You should see the installed version number. If you get command not found, check that your virtualenv is activated and its bin/ (or Scripts/ on Windows) is on your PATH.

Upgrading​

pip install --upgrade pytest-web

Uninstalling​

pip uninstall pytest-web

This removes pytest-web but leaves pytest and pytest-xdist untouched.
