`pytest-smoke` is a `pytest` plugin designed to quickly perform smoke testing on large test suites. It allows you to
scale down test execution by limiting the number of tests run from logical groupings (*smoke scopes*) to a smaller
subset defined by `N`.

## Installation

```bash
pip install pytest-smoke
```

## Quick Start

For a quick smoke test with all default options, simply run:
```bash
pytest --smoke
```
This will run a small subset of tests from your test suite to quickly check basic functionality.

## Usage

This plugin provides the following command options:
```
$ pytest -h

Smoke testing:
--smoke=[N] Run only N tests from each smoke scope.
N can be a number (e.g. 5) or a percentage (e.g. 10%).
If not provided, the default value is 1.
--smoke-scope=SCOPE Specify the scope at which the value of N from the above options is applied.
The plugin provides the following predefined scopes, as well as custom user-defined scopes via a hook:
- function: Applies N to each test function
- class: Applies N to each test class
- file: Applies N to each test file
- directory: Applies N to each directory a test file is stored
- all: Applies N to the entire test suite
- auto (default): Dynamically determines an ideal scope per parent node (module or class) based on the presence
of parametrized tests. Uses function scope if any parameterized tests exist under the parent node. Otherwise,
falls back to file scope for test functions or class scope for test methods.
--smoke-select-mode=MODE
Specify the mode for selecting tests from each scope.
The plugin provides the following predefined values, as well as custom user-defined values via a hook:
- first: The first N tests (default)
- last: The last N tests
- random: N randomly selected tests
```

> [!NOTE]
> - The `--smoke` option is always required to use any `pytest-smoke` plugin functionality
> - The `--smoke-scope` and `--smoke-select-mode` options also support any custom values, as long as they are handled in the hook. See the "Hooks" section below
> - You can override the plugin's default values for `N`, `SCOPE`, and `MODE` using INI options. See the "INI Options" section below
> - When using the [pytest-xdist](https://pypi.org/project/pytest-xdist/) plugin for parallel testing, you can configure the `pytest-smoke` plugin to replace the default scheduler with a custom distribution algorithm that distributes tests based on the smoke scope

## Examples

Given you have the following test code:

```python
import pytest

def test_something1():
pass

@pytest.mark.parametrize("p", range(10))
def test_something2(p):
pass

@pytest.mark.parametrize("p", range(20))
def test_something3(p):
pass
```

You can run smoke tests on subsets of different sizes with the `--smoke` option.
Here are some basic examples:

- Run only the first test from each test function
```
$ pytest -v --smoke
======================== test session starts ==========================

collected 31 items / 28 deselected / 3 selected

tests/test_something.py::test_something1 PASSED [ 33%]
tests/test_something.py::test_something2[0] PASSED [ 66%]
tests/test_something.py::test_something3[0] PASSED [100%]

=================== 3 passed, 28 deselected in 0.02s ===================
```

- Run up to 3 tests from each test function (`N`=3)
```
$ pytest -v --smoke 3
======================== test session starts ==========================

collected 31 items / 24 deselected / 7 selected

tests/test_something.py::test_something1 PASSED [ 14%]
tests/test_something.py::test_something2[0] PASSED [ 28%]
tests/test_something.py::test_something2[1] PASSED [ 42%]
tests/test_something.py::test_something2[2] PASSED [ 57%]
tests/test_something.py::test_something3[0] PASSED [ 71%]
tests/test_something.py::test_something3[1] PASSED [ 85%]
tests/test_something.py::test_something3[2] PASSED [100%]

=================== 7 passed, 24 deselected in 0.02s ===================
```

- Run 20% of tests from each test function (`N`=20%)
```
$ pytest -v --smoke 20%
======================== test session starts ==========================

collected 31 items / 24 deselected / 7 selected

tests/test_something.py::test_something1 PASSED [ 14%]
tests/test_something.py::test_something2[0] PASSED [ 28%]
tests/test_something.py::test_something2[1] PASSED [ 42%]
tests/test_something.py::test_something3[0] PASSED [ 57%]
tests/test_something.py::test_something3[1] PASSED [ 71%]
tests/test_something.py::test_something3[2] PASSED [ 85%]
tests/test_something.py::test_something3[3] PASSED [100%]

=================== 7 passed, 24 deselected in 0.02s ===================
```

## Markers

### `@pytest.mark.smoke(*, mustpass=False, runif=True)`
When the feature is explicitly enabled via the `smoke_marked_tests_as_critical` INI option, collected tests marked with
`@pytest.mark.smoke` are considered "critical" smoke tests while ones without this marker are considered "regular"
smoke tests. Additionally, if the optional `mustpass` keyword argument is set to `True` in the marker, the test is
considered a "must-pass" critical smoke test.

The plugin will apply the following behavior:
- All collected critical tests with `runif=True` are automatically included, in addition to the regular tests selected as part of `N` (Ones with `runif=False` will be deselected)
- Execute critical smoke tests first, before any regular smoke tests
- If any "must-pass" test fails, all subsequent regular smoke tests will be skipped

> [!NOTE]
> - The marker will have no effect on the plugin until the feature has been enabled
> - When enabled, the plugin assumes that tests will run sequentially. It will not work when running tests in parallel using a plugin like `pytest-xdist`

## Hooks

The plugin provides the following hooks to customize or extend the plugin's capabilities:

### `pytest_smoke_generate_group_id(item, scope)`
This hook allows you to implement your own custom scopes for the `--smoke-scope` option, or override the logic of the
predefined scopes. Items with the same group ID are grouped together and are considered to be in the same scope,
at which `N` is applied.
Any custom values passed to the `--smoke-scope` option must be handled in this hook.

### `pytest_smoke_include(item, scope)`
Return `True` for tests that should be included as "additional" tests. These tests will not be counted towards the
calculation of `N`.

### `pytest_smoke_exclude(item, scope)`
Return `True` for tests that should not be selected. These items will not be included in the total number of tests to
which `N`% is applied. An example use case is to prevent tests that are marked with `skip` and/or `xfail` from being
selected.
Note that this hook takes precedence over any other options provided by the plugin.

### `pytest_smoke_sort_by_select_mode(items, scope, select_mode)`
This hook allows you to implement your own custom select modes for the `--smoke-select-mode` option. Return sorted items
to implement a test selection logic for the custom select mode. The plugin will pick `N` tests from each scope group
based on the sorted items, meaning that an item appearing earlier in the same scope group has a higher chance of being
selected.
Any custom values passed to the `--smoke-select-mode` option must be handled in this hook.
Note that the hook does not affect the test execution order.

## INI Options

You can override the plugin's default values by setting the following options in a configuration
file (pytest.ini, pyproject.toml, etc.).

### `smoke_default_n`
The default `N` value to be applied when not provided to the `--smoke` option.
Plugin default: `1`

### `smoke_default_scope`
The default smoke scope to be applied when not explicitly specified with the `--smoke-scope` option.
Plugin default: `auto`

### `smoke_default_select_mode`
The default smoke select mode to be applied when not explicitly specified with the `--smoke-select-mode`
option.
Plugin default: `first`

### `smoke_default_xdist_dist_by_scope`
When using the [pytest-xdist](https://pypi.org/project/pytest-xdist/) plugin (>=2.3.0) for parallel testing, this
option replaces the default scheduler with a custom distribution algorithm that distributes tests based on the smoke
scope. When enabled, the custom scheduler will be automatically used when the `-n`/`--numprocesses` option is used
without a dist option (`--dist` or `-d`).
Plugin default: `false`

### `smoke_marked_tests_as_critical`
Treat tests marked with `@pytest.mark.smoke` as "critical" smoke tests.
Plugin default: `false`
