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

worked with doctest as well as with plain tests in one module. for a non-doctest test to be picked up, standard py.test discovery mechanism applies: a module name with test prefix, test function with test prefix.
