context_container
The pytest_houdini.tools.context_container() context manager provides an appropriate parent node (container) for which
you can create a child node of a particular type. Pass the node type category of the type you wish to create
and use the returned node to create a node under.
with context_container(hou.sopNodeTypeCategory()) as container:
container.createNode("box")
# Attempting to access 'container' will result in a hou.ObjectWasDeleted exception.
A new node of the container type will always be created. Unless specified when the container node is created, it will be destroyed after the end of the scope.
with context_container(hou.sopNodeTypeCategory(), destroy=False) as container:
container.createNode("box")
# 'container' is not destroyed and can still be accessed
