Pytest plugin for managing test artifacts

pytest-artifacts

Pytest plugin for managing test artifacts

Installation

You can install "pytest-artifacts" from PyPI:

pip install pytest-artifacts

Usage

Attach the artifacts fixture to your pytest test case. The attribute artifacts.dir is a dedicated directory for the test case.

import time
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

def test_benchmark(artifacts):
    times = range(1, 101, 10)
    elapsed = []
    for t in times:
        start_time = time.perf_counter()

        time.sleep(t)

        end_time = time.perf_counter()
        elapsed.append(end_time - start_time)

    plt.scatter(times, elapsed)
    with artifacts.open('benchmark.png') as f:
        plt.savefig(f)

.artifacts/
└── test_benchmark/
    └── benchmark.png

The test case directory is named after the test path, function name, and if any, the test parameter ID.

Configure

Configurations may be set in pyproject.toml or pytest.ini. Some options can also be set via CLI (use pytest --help)

Option	Type	Default	Description
artifacts_dir	str	.artifacts/	Directory to store test artifacts. Also settable via the --artifacts-dir CLI option, which takes precedence over the ini setting.
artifacts_use_subdir_for_parametrize	bool	false	When True, parametrized tests get a subdirectory per parameter ID (e.g. .artifacts/test_foo/param_id/). When False, all parameter variants share the same .artifacts/test_foo/ directory and overwrite each other.

# pyproject.toml
[tool.pytest.ini_options]
artifacts_dir = ".artifacts/"
artifacts_use_subdir_for_parametrize = false

# pytest.ini
[pytest]
artifacts_dir = .artifacts/
artifacts_use_subdir_for_parametrize = false

pytest --artifacts-dir .artifacts/ tests/

Parametrized test layout

@pytest.mark.parametrize("x", [1, 2])
def test_foo(artifacts, x):
    with artifacts.open("out.txt", "w") as f:
        f.write(str(x))

With artifacts_use_subdir_for_parametrize = false:

.artifacts/
└── test_foo[1]/
    └── out.txt
└── test_foo[2]/
    └── out.txt

With artifacts_use_subdir_for_parametrize = true:

.artifacts/
└── test_foo/
    ├── 1/
    │   └── out.txt
    └── 2/
        └── out.txt
