pytest-reportlog

Replacement for the --resultlog option, focused in simplicity and extensibility.

Note

This plugin was created so developers can try out the candidate to replace the deprecated --resultlog option.

If you use --resultlog, please try out --report-log and provide feedback.

Usage

The --report-log=FILE option writes report logs into a file as the test session executes.

Each line of the report log contains a self contained JSON object corresponding to a testing event, such as a collection or a test result report. The file is guaranteed to be flushed after writing each line, so systems can read and process events in real-time.

Each JSON object contains a special key $report_type, which contains a unique identifier for that kind of report object. For future compatibility, consumers of the file should ignore reports they don't recognize, as well as ignore unknown properties/keys in JSON objects that they do know, as future pytest versions might enrich the objects with more properties/keys.

Example

Consider this file:

# content of test_report_example.py


def test_ok():
    assert 5 + 5 == 10


def test_fail():
    assert 4 + 4 == 1

$ pytest test_report_example.py -q --report-log=log.json
.F                                                                   [100%]
================================= FAILURES =================================
________________________________ test_fail _________________________________

    def test_fail():
>       assert 4 + 4 == 1
E       assert (4 + 4) == 1

test_report_example.py:8: AssertionError
------------------- generated report log file: log.json --------------------
1 failed, 1 passed in 0.12s

The generated log.json will contain a JSON object per line:
