A pytest plugin for end-to-end testing of language servers

Project description

pytest-lsp: End-to-end testing of language servers with pytest

pytest-lsp is a pytest plugin for writing end-to-end tests for language servers.

It works by running the language server in a subprocess and communicating with it over stdio, just like a real language client. This also means pytest-lsp can be used to test language servers written in any language - not just Python.

pytest-lsp relies on the pygls library for its language server protocol implementation.

See the documentation for details on getting started.
