How to make pytest run doctests as well as normal tests directory?

Question

We currently have pytest with the coverage plugin running over our tests in a tests directory.

What\'s the simplest way to also run doctest

Answer 1

Now it is implemented :-).

To use, either run py.test --doctest-modules command, or set your configuration with pytest.ini:

$ cat pytest.ini
# content of pytest.ini
[pytest]
addopts = --doctest-modules
