pytest-argus-reporter 0.16.0

A simple plugin to report results of test into argus

pytest-argus-reporter

A plugin to send pytest tests results to Argus, with extra context data

Features

• Report each test result into Argus as they finish
• Automatically append contextual data to each test:
  • git information such as branch or last commit and more
  • all of CI env variables
    • Jenkins
    • Travis
    • Circle CI
    • Github Actions
  • username if available
• Report a test summary to Argus for each session with all the context data
• Append any user data into the context sent to Argus

Requirements

• having pytest tests written

Installation

You can install "pytest-argus-reporter" via pip from PyPI

pip install pytest-argus-reporter

Usage

Run and configure from command line

pytest --argus-post-reports --argus-base-url http://argus-server.io:8080 --argus-api-key 1234 --extra-headers '{"X-My-Header": "my-value"}'

Configure from code (ideally in conftest.py)

from pytest_argus_reporter import ArgusReporter

def pytest_plugin_registered(plugin, manager):
    if isinstance(plugin, ArgusReporter):
      # TODO: get credentials in more secure fashion programmatically, maybe AWS secrets or the likes
      # or put them in plain-text in the code... what can ever go wrong...
      plugin.base_url = "https://argus.scylladb.com"
      plugin.api_key = "123456" # get it from your user page on Argus
      plugin.test_type = "dtest"
      plugin.extra_headers = {}

see pytest docs for more about how to configure pytest using .ini files

Collect context data for the whole session

In this example, I'll be able to build a dashboard for each version:

import pytest

@pytest.fixture(scope="session", autouse=True)
def report_formal_version_to_argus(request):
    """
    Append my own data specific, for example which of the code under test is used
    """
    # TODO: programmatically set to the version of the code under test...
    my_data = {"formal_version": "1.0.0-rc2" }

    elk = request.config.pluginmanager.get_plugin("argus-reporter-runtime")
    elk.session_data.update(**my_data)

Collect data for specific tests

import requests

def test_my_service_and_collect_timings(request, argus_reporter):
    response = requests.get("http://my-server.io/api/do_something")
    assert response.status_code == 200

    argus_reporter.append_test_data(request, {"do_something_response_time": response.elapsed.total_seconds() })
    # now, a dashboard showing response time by version should be quite easy
    # and yeah, it's not exactly a real usable metric, but it's just one example...

Or via the record_property built-in fixture (that is normally used to collect data into junit.xml reports):

import requests

def test_my_service_and_collect_timings(record_property):
    response = requests.get("http://my-server.io/api/do_something")
    assert response.status_code == 200

    record_property("do_something_response_time", response.elapsed.total_seconds())

TODO: Split tests based on their duration histories

One cool thing that can be done now that you have a history of the tests, is to split the tests based on their actual runtime when passing. For long-running integration tests, this is priceless.

In this example, we're going to split the run into a maximum of 4 min slices. Any test that doesn't have history information is assumed to be 60 sec long.

# pytest --collect-only --argus-splice --argus-max-splice-time=4 --argus-default-test-time=60
...

0: 0:04:00 - 3 - ['test_history_slices.py::test_should_pass_1', 'test_history_slices.py::test_should_pass_2', 'test_history_slices.py::test_should_pass_3']
1: 0:04:00 - 2 - ['test_history_slices.py::test_with_history_data', 'test_history_slices.py::test_that_failed']

...

# cat include000.txt
test_history_slices.py::test_should_pass_1
test_history_slices.py::test_should_pass_2
test_history_slices.py::test_should_pass_3

# cat include000.txt
test_history_slices.py::test_with_history_data
test_history_slices.py::test_that_failed

### now we can run each slice on its own machine
### on machine1
# pytest $(cat include000.txt)

### on machine2
# pytest $(cat include001.txt)
