Create or check file/directory trees described by YAML

----

This `Pytest`_ plugin was generated with `Cookiecutter`_ along with `@hackebrot`_'s `Cookiecutter-pytest-plugin`_ template.


Features
--------

* Monkey-patches `py.path.local`_ class (the one behind `tmpdir`_ fixture) to append `yaml_create` and `yaml_check` methods for easy access.
* Use it like this::

    def test_foo(tmpdir):
        tmpdir.yaml_create("""
            directory_one:
                file1: Hello World
                file2: "Including\nLine\nBreaks\n"
                subdir:
                    file3: |
                        Some raw content here.
                        It is probably better readable.
            directory_two:
                arrow.gif: !!binary |
                    R0lGODlhDAAMAIQAAP//9/X17unp5WZmZgAAAOfn515eXvPz7Y6OjuDg4J+fn5

        """)

        # now these files are created under tmpdir
        assert tmpdir.join('directory_one', 'file1').read() == 'Hello World'

        # also can check that directory structure corresponds to the declaration
        tmpdir.yaml_check("""
            directory_one:
                file1: Content
            directory_two: {}  # empty mapping means empty directory
        """)
