Question

I\'m trying to use TDD (test-driven development) with pytest. pytest will not print to the console when I use print.

I originally came in here to find how to make PyTest print in VSCode's console while running/debugging the unit test from there. This can be done with the following launch.json configuration. Given .venv the virtual environment folder.

    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "PyTest",
            "type": "python",
            "request": "launch",
            "stopOnEntry": false,
            "pythonPath": "${config:python.pythonPath}",
            "module": "pytest",
            "args": [
                "-sv"
            ],
            "cwd": "${workspaceRoot}",
            "env": {},
            "envFile": "${workspaceRoot}/.venv",
            "debugOptions": [
                "WaitOnAbnormalExit",
                "WaitOnNormalExit",
                "RedirectOutput"
            ]
        }
    ]
}
