How to use current file as parameter to Run configuration in pycharm
The answer by Ctrl+C already hints at $FileName$ and at least in the current version 2020.2 of PyCharm this works in Run Configurations.
- Create a run configuration as you desire, e.g.
Python
- In
Parameters
field you can simply use macros like$FileName$
or$FilePath$
. Or click on the+
at the right end for a full list - Hit the Run button or
Shift+F10
by default while your target file is opened
What you want to insert there is called a macro, which is a context-dependent variable: $FileName$
(current file in this case). Unfortunately this doesn't work yet in Run configurations.
Workaround - use External Tools
- Settings > Tools > External Tools
- [+]
- set "Program" as path to your script/program ('py.test')
- in "Arguments" use button [Insert Macro...] on the right. There will be a list of possibilities. For example you wanted
$FileName$
for the current file.
If you want both of those commands in one External Tool command, then create a bash script:
#!/bin/bash -exu
py.test -m mymarker $@
autopep8 $@
Finally you can use it via [Tools]>[External Tools], [Right click on a file]>[External Tools] or you can add a shortcut to the command.
