N/A (plugin auto-discovered)

✓ No direct import needed

pytest-pikachu is an auto-discovered pytest plugin and does not expose specific Python symbols for direct import into user code. Its functionality is activated automatically when `pytest` is run with the plugin installed.

Install the `pytest-pikachu` plugin along with `pytest`. Create a test file with only passing tests. When `pytest` is run on this file, if all tests complete successfully, a surprised Pikachu will be displayed in the terminal output.

import pytest # test_example.py def test_passing_example(): assert True def test_another_passing_case(): assert 1 + 1 == 2 # To run this example after installing pytest and pytest-pikachu: # 1. Save the above code as 'test_example.py' # 2. Open your terminal in the same directory # 3. Run: pytest test_example.py # If all tests pass, a surprised Pikachu will appear in your terminal output.

Debug

Known issues

gotchaPikachu only appears if *all* tests pass. If even one test fails, is skipped, or errors, the Pikachu animation will not be displayed.

fix

Ensure your entire test suite passes to see the Pikachu animation. Use `pytest -v` to inspect individual test outcomes.

affects: 1.0.0

gotchaThis plugin is purely visual and provides no programmatic hooks, configuration options, or command-line arguments to modify its behavior or appearance.

fix

Understand that the plugin's behavior is fixed. If you require customizable test feedback or integrations, consider other pytest plugins that offer such features.
