General

CLI command to approve last failed approval tests.
This kind of command is useful for semi-automated development workflows.

Example

Consider a failing approval test:

# test_example.py
def test_example():
    verify("Approve me please!")

$ pytest -q test_example.py
pytest -q test_example.py
F                                                                                                   [100%]
================================================ FAILURES =================================================
______________________________________________ test_example _______________________________________________

    def test_example():
>       verify("Approve me please!")
E       approvaltests.approval_exception.ApprovalException: Approval Mismatch, received != approved

...

Approve it with:

$ python -m approvaltests --approve test_example

  ✅ test_example.test_example approved

The test now passes:

$ pytest -q test_example.py
.                                                                                                   [100%]
