You can do this using pm.register() and pm.unregister() like this: from datasette import hookimpl from datasette.app import Datasette from datasette.plugins import pm import pytest @pytest.mark.asyncio async def test_using_test_plugin(): class TestPlugin: __name__ = ""TestPlugin"" # Use hookimpl and method names to register hooks @hookimpl def register_routes(self): return [ (r""^/error$"", lambda: 1 / 0), ] pm.register(TestPlugin(), name=""undo"") try: # The test implementation goes here datasette = Datasette() response = await datasette.client.get(""/error"") assert response.status_code == 500 finally: pm.unregister(name=""undo"")","[""Testing plugins""]",[]
