===========
pytest-html is a plugin for `pytest `_ that generates a
HTML report for the test results.

Requirements
------------
You will need the following prerequisites in order to use pytest-html:
- Python 2.7, 3.6, PyPy, or PyPy3
Installation
------------
To install pytest-html:
.. code-block:: bash
$ pip install pytest-html
Then run your tests with:
.. code-block:: bash
$ pytest --html=report.html
ANSI codes
----------
Note that ANSI code support depends on the
`ansi2html `_ package. Due to the use
of a less permissive license, this package is not included as a dependency. If
you have this package installed, then ANSI codes will be converted to HTML in
your report.
Creating a self-contained report
--------------------------------
In order to respect the `Content Security Policy (CSP)
`_,
several assets such as CSS and images are stored separately by default.
You can alternatively create a self-contained report, which can be more
convenient when sharing your results. This can be done in the following way:
.. code-block:: bash
$ pytest --html=report.html --self-contained-html
Images added as files or links are going to be linked as external resources,
meaning that the standalone report HTML-file may not display these images
as expected.
The plugin will issue a warning when adding files or links to the standalone report.
Enhancing reports
-----------------
Appearance
~~~~~~~~~~
Custom CSS (Cascasding Style Sheets) can be passed on the command line using
the :code:`--css` option. These will be applied in the order specified, and can
be used to change the appearance of the report.
.. code-block:: bash
$ pytest --html=report.html --css=highcontrast.css --css=accessible.css
Environment
~~~~~~~~~~~
The *Environment* section is provided by the `pytest-metadata
`_, plugin, and can be accessed
via the :code:`pytest_configure` hook:
.. code-block:: python
def pytest_configure(config):
config._metadata['foo'] = 'bar'
The generated table will be sorted alphabetically unless the metadata is a
:code:`collections.OrderedDict`.
Additional summary information
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can edit the *Summary* section by using the :code:`pytest_html_results_summary` hook:
.. code-block:: python
import pytest
from py.xml import html
def pytest_html_results_summary(prefix, summary, postfix):
prefix.extend([html.p("foo: bar")])
Extra content
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can add details to the HTML reports by creating an 'extra' list on the
report object. Here are the types of extra content that can be added:
========== ============================================
Type Example
========== ============================================
Raw HTML ``extra.html('Additional HTML
')``
`JSON`_ ``extra.json({'name': 'pytest'})``
Plain text ``extra.text('Add some simple Text')``
URL ``extra.url('http://www.example.com/')``
Image ``extra.image(image, mime_type='image/gif', extension='gif')``
Image ``extra.image('/path/to/file.png')``
Image ``extra.image('http://some_image.png')``
========== ============================================
**Note**: When adding an image from file, the path can be either absolute
or relative.
**Note**: When using ``--self-contained-html``, images added as files or links
may not work as expected, see section `Creating a self-contained report`_ for
more info.
There are also convenient types for several image formats:
============ ====================
Image format Example
============ ====================
PNG ``extra.png(image)``
JPEG ``extra.jpg(image)``
SVG ``extra.svg(image)``
============ ====================
The following example adds the various types of extras using a
:code:`pytest_runtest_makereport` hook, which can be implemented in a plugin or
conftest.py file:
.. code-block:: python
import pytest
@pytest.hookimpl(hookwrapper=True)
def pytest_runtest_makereport(item, call):
pytest_html = item.config.pluginmanager.getplugin('html')
outcome = yield
report = outcome.get_result()
extra = getattr(report, 'extra', [])
if report.when == 'call':
# always add url to report
extra.append(pytest_html.extras.url('http://www.example.com/'))
xfail = hasattr(report, 'wasxfail')
if (report.skipped and xfail) or (report.failed and not xfail):
# only add additional html on failure
extra.append(pytest_html.extras.html('Additional HTML
'))
report.extra = extra
You can also specify the :code:`name` argument for all types other than :code:`html` which will change the title of the
created hyper link:
.. code-block:: python
extra.append(pytest_html.extras.text('some string', name='Different title'))
Modifying the results table
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can modify the columns by implementing custom hooks for the header and
rows. The following example :code:`conftest.py` adds a description column with
the test function docstring, adds a sortable time column, and removes the links
column:
.. code-block:: python
from datetime import datetime
from py.xml import html
import pytest
def pytest_html_results_table_header(cells):
cells.insert(2, html.th('Description'))
cells.insert(1, html.th('Time', class_='sortable time', col='time'))
cells.pop()
def pytest_html_results_table_row(report, cells):
cells.insert(2, html.td(report.description))
cells.insert(1, html.td(datetime.utcnow(), class_='col-time'))
cells.pop()
@pytest.hookimpl(hookwrapper=True)
def pytest_runtest_makereport(item, call):
outcome = yield
report = outcome.get_result()
report.description = str(item.function.__doc__)
You can also remove results by implementing the
:code:`pytest_html_results_table_row` hook and removing all cells. The
following example removes all passed results from the report:
.. code-block:: python
import pytest
def pytest_html_results_table_row(report, cells):
if report.passed:
del cells[:]
The log output and additional HTML can be modified by implementing the
:code:`pytest_html_results_html` hook. The following example replaces all
additional HTML and log output with a notice that the log is empty:
.. code-block:: python
import pytest
def pytest_html_results_table_html(report, data):
if report.passed:
del data[:]
data.append(html.div('No log output captured.', class_='empty log'))
Display options
---------------
By default, all rows in the **Results** table will be expanded except those that have :code:`Passed`.
This behavior can be customized with a query parameter: :code:`?collapsed=Passed,XFailed,Skipped`.

Releasing a new version
-----------------------
Follow these steps to release a new version of the project:
