Handling single quotes in pytest parameter string

Question

Have one pytest parameter having single quote in the string value. For example,

@pytest.mark.parametrize(
    'message1, code, message2', [
    ('test_exception_message', 'error_code_example', ''apples' are in the 'basket'')])

message2 = 'apples' are in the 'basket'

How to handle the quotes? Thanks.

Just use double quotes for the parameter, e.g. `"'apples' are in the 'basket'"`. Or you could escape them: `'\'apples\' are in the \'basket\''`. — MrBean Bremen, Sep 18 '20 at 05:22
