Do you know of a way in which fil can be used with pytest?

[krishraghuram]

Use-Case: Run fil as part of a test to verify that memory usage doesnt (drastically) increase from one commit to another

I read https://pythonspeed.com/fil/docs/how-it-works.html, and it does mention that,

This is why Fil can’t be used as regular library and needs to be started in a special way: it requires setting up the correct environment before Python starts.

So I thought I'd ask if its possible to setup this special environment from within a pytest test function.

https://pythonspeed.com/fil/docs/api.html documents how to profile Python functions, so at minimum you can do:

from filprofiler.api import profile

def test_yourcode():
     profile(_test_yourcode, "/tmp/your-profiling)    

def _test_yourcode():
    # the real test code goes here.
