A pytest plugin that limits the output to just the things you need.

pytest-tldr

A pytest plugin that limits the output of pytest to just the things you need to see.

One of my biggest personal complaints about pytest is that its console output is very, very chatty. It tells you it's starting. It tells you it's working. It tells you it's done. And if a test fails, it doesn't just tell you which test failed. It dumps pages and pages of code onto your console.

And it does all this in Glorious Technicolor. Better hope you have perfect color vision, and your console color choices are contrast compatible.

Yes: pytest has many, many command line options. And some of these behaviors can be configured or turned off with feature flags. But there are some people (presumably, at the very least, the pytest core team) who like pytest's output format. So if you're the odd-one-out on a team who doesn't like pytest's output, you can't commit "better" options into a default configuration - you have to manually specify your options every time you run the test suite.

Luckily, pytest also has a plugin system, so we can fix this.

pytest-tldr is plugin that gives you minimalist output, in monochrome, while still giving an indication of test suite progress.

Installation

You can install "pytest-tldr" via pip from PyPI:

$ pip install pytest-tldr

Then you can just run your test suite as normal:

$ pytest tests

hookspec UserWarning on use

I tried out using pytest-tldr on Python 3.7 and it worked, but produced an odd warning:

/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pytest_tldr.py:282: UserWarning: Argument(s) ('config',) which are declared in the hookspec can not be found in this hook call terminalreporter=self, exitstatus=exitstatus

Is this a bug?

Improve configurability of verbosity behavior

Hello! My team loves pytest-tldr, but we recently ran into some issues where diff truncation in the non-verbose output of pytest was interfering with debugging flaky tests. We want a way to have the tldr functionality, but have verbose output for fail/error/unexpected pass reports.

I was able to get this functionality by ripping out the "verbosity" sensitivity from pytest-tldr all together, and then running pytest in verbose mode. The blunt force version is forked on my github account.

If I were to clean this up (read: restore original functionality and make it configurable) would you consider accepting a PR to add this mode?

Thanks for your work!

Enable TLDR with a flag?

Hi there,
This is a great plugin! Is there a way to either enable the plugin with a flag (e.g. pytest --tldr) or alternatively disable it with a flag (e.g. pytest --no-tldr) while it is installed?

It would be nice to have the option to look at the TLDR output during test development, and complete (e.g. native pytest, or even pytest-sugar or pytest-cov) output in other cases such as in a CI dashboard, as sometimes the additional context there in the default/sugared output is helpful.

Ideally in order to play nicely with other plugins that may be installed, it would be great if config could be specified in setup.cfg to indicate whether TLDR should be enabled or disabled in a default pytest invocation, and then the flags --tldr and --no-tldr could toggle it at runtime, depending on the default value.

Suppresses Collection Errors

When there is an error in Test Collections such as SyntaxError, it would be nice to be reminded of that.

Basically, shows

----------------------------------------------------------------------

OK

when running pytest with syntax error code such as print 'hello' in python3.

Support Python2

No write to terminal,

With pytest-tldr==0.2.2 and pytest==6.0.1, I'm seeing behaviour that turns up no output in the terminal at all, until either the tests are completed or I abort the test process – then, all collected output is printed at once. (FWIW, this doesn't happen with pytest-sugar)

It would be nice if this would produce pytest-cov report as well.

This seems like the likely source (from 7.2.0 release notes):

pytest-dev/pytest#10396: pytest no longer depends on the py library. pytest provides a vendored copy of py.error and py.path modules but will use the py library if it is installed. If you need other py.* modules, continue to install the deprecated py library separately, otherwise it can usually be removed as a dependency.

Conflict with pytest-profiling?

I am not getting the profile table at the end of the tests.

$ pip freeze |grep pytest

pytest==3.6.1
pytest-runner==2.11.1
pytest-tldr==0.1.1
$ python --version
Python 3.6.5

Installing pytest-xdist fixes it.

print calls should always use report.longreprtext

due to https://github.com/freakboy3742/pytest-tldr/blob/master/pytest_tldr.py#L303
we received pytest-dev/pytest#7626

i believe the best solution to prevent that in future is to either use longreprtext instead of longrepr for printing or to use totermainal where applicable

raise RuntimeError(f"Failed to collect tests from {entry.path}

Hi, I'm having a bit of trouble using the tool.
When I try to run the pytest_web_ui like so: 'python3 -m pytest_web_ui {path_to_my_project_folder}'
I get an error message: Failed to collect tests from {path_to_my_project_folder}/conftest.py
I can't figure out why it's searching in conftest.py for tests.
The project contains 6 tests in a file named test_program not in a class.
I have no idea why this happens.. Any help will be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
