Requirements
------------

You will need the following prerequisites in order to use pytest-html:

- Python 2.7 or 3.6
- pytest-selenium >= 3.0.0

Installation
------------

To install axe-selenium-python:

.. code-block:: bash

$ pip install axe-selenium-python

Usage
-----
To run tests using pytest-selenium (a dependency of axe-selenium-python), tests must be marked with the non-destructive pytest decorator:

.. code-block:: python

@pytest.mark.nondestructive
def test_my_test_function:
. . .

Test suites using axe-selenium-python must import pytest and the Axe class.

Tests not using the axe pytest fixture must use the selenium pytest fixture.

pytest-selenium relies on the `**base_url** <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-base-url>`_ fixture, which can be set in a configuration file, or as a command line argument.

Configuration File
******************

.. code-block:: ini

[pytest]
base_url = http://www.example.com

Command Line Argument
*********************

.. code-block:: bash

$ pytest --base-url http://www.example.com

Example Test Function
*********************

*test_accessibility.py*

.. code-block:: python

import pytest
from axe_selenium_python import Axe

@pytest.mark.nondestructive
def test_accessibility(self, selenium):

axe = Axe(selenium)
response = axe.execute()

assert len(response['violations']) == 0, axe.report()
