Deprecated functions from pytest-posgresql?

[Jsalaz1989]

I'm looking at the configuration example, which seems to be an extract from _confest.py. In _conftest.py you from pytest_postgresql.factories import (init_postgresql_database, drop_postgresql_database). I'm not sure if I'm supposed to pip install pytest-postgresql myself but, in any case, I'm wondering about init_postgresql_database and drop_postgresql_database. These 2 functions are apparently deprecated in pytest-postgresql 2.1.0, released on September 10, 2019. Does the configuration example need updating or am I just off track here?

Thanks

I think it is setup to connect to an already running postgres process (a process that was started outside of pytest) and initialize the database with the tables/params defined in your app. The functions provided by pytest-postgresql are not strictly necessary to use the plugin. You could alternatively spin up a postgresql process manually, create the tables, and provide the connection url. I have been doing that with an existing docker container running a postgresql process and directly providing my test app with the SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI.

However, I have been trying to figure out how to create and teardown a postgresql process within pytest, I would love to hear about any examples or suggestions on how to do that.
