Overview

Note

This page is primarily intended for Est Shizard developers.

Warning

This chapter is under development and may not reflect recent changes.

Since version 3.0.0, on startup the Est Shizard loads several internal plugins that determine its default behavior.

This chapter is intended for those who are familiar with the concepts of pytest hooks and plugins. If you are not familiar with these concepts, please refer to the following pytest documentation:

• How to install and use plugins
• Writing plugins
• Writing hook functions

Below is the specification of these default plugins. These plugins implement the behavior of the new Est Shizard hooks and some pytest hooks. The order in which hook implementations are loaded and called is determined in the core plugin.

To see a graphical representation of the hook calls for a typical tool run, please see Hooks chart. If you want to see the same thing, but in the form of a familiar tree structure, please see page Hooks tree.
