python_tools

Setup

First, we need to remember that we primarily use the virtual environment tool pyenv.

We will need to take extra care to utilize this when we are working through the configuration of different tools as we are often hoping to utilize a single tool for the job in most cases

return {

• first, we calculate the python path currently being used by pyenv using a command shell with this very purpose in mind
• then we start the work of pulling everything together by starting the return

Enabling Neotest for Python

while the extra for lazy is pretty plug-and-play, one piece that seems to need configuration up-front is the neotest module so we will try to extend it quickly here

{
  "nvim-neotest/neotest",
  optional = true,
  dependencies = {
    "nvim-neotest/neotest-python",
  },
  opts = {
    adapters = {
      ["neotest-python"] = {
        -- Here you can specify the settings for the adapter, i.e.
        runner = "pytest",
        python = vim.g.python_host_prog,
      },
    },
  },
},

• first, note that we need to specify pytest as the runner.
  • ofcourse, this means pytest is one dependency on this work
• However the next line is the most important, since we use pyenv, we need to ensure we use whatever version we have currently set in pyenv and grab that python
  • to do this, we run the shell command pyenv which python which will give the absolute path to the current python interpreter and return that as the string that neotest will use when running our tests
  • This allows us to dynamically get the python environment as long as we have the proper setup for handling pyenv, handled earlier in the config

Ending it all

Finally, we remember to close the return
