You surly have but it is not accurate for the question title, we search this online to see how to setup pycharm community edition coz there is lot of posts available on the internet to work with pycharm professional edition. – Aylian Craspa Aug 14 '19 at 6:26. The next step is to download the Community version of PyCharm IDE by clicking here. The community version is free to use. You can download the Professional edition if you want(it has additional support for HTML, JS and SQL). If you are a beginner, then I would recommend you to use the community edition. Install the PyCharm as shown in the below animation: PyCharm requires you to reboot your computer.
The current situation
Just like in many other programming languages, in Python, there is a growing need to have automation tests written using the Gherkin DSL. Unlike IntelliJ which has JBehave support built into the Community Edition, PyCharm offers this plugin only in the payed version.
While this solution is far from perfect, it is a decent way of working with Behave in PyCharm and it might also work for Pytest-behave.
The setup
- Install the Gherkin plugin to at least have highlight and formatting in the .feature file
- Open the run config window and choose to add a new python configuration
- Set the Script path to the path for __main__.py in the behave package. For me: C:Python36Libsite-packagesbehave__main__.py, but it may vary for you depending on where you installed python or your OS
- Make sure your project is selected if you have multiple opened
- Add an Environment Variable APP_NAME=behave
- Select the main directory to be the Work directory
- Optionally add –format=plain –show-timings –junit in the Parameters field for cleaner console output
Sample configuration
Results
You can now use this configuration to either Run or Debug your tests using the PyCharm integrated runner/debugger
If you need to run only a subset or tests by either tag or feature file name just add the parameter in the Parameters field
Drawbacks of this solution over just purchasing PyCharm
As mentioned, this is not a perfect solution. Yes, you will be able to run and debug tests as normal, but you will not have steps string matching with the actual implementation in the IDE so that you can use autocomplete for .feature file writing or CTRL+Click or equivalent for fast navigation to the step implementation from the feature files.
So, if you can do without these and just need to run and debug tests in your IDE this solution will at least help you with that.
PyCharm by JetBrains is one of the most popular Python IDE available. In order to use PyCharm Community Version on Windows, it is necessary to make sure that you have Python installed on your Windows device. There are 2 main versions of PyChram available.
