A pytest plugin that helps developers build successful test cases by providing them with GitHub commit information when their test cases fail.

A Python Plugin for Tracking Test Case Status

---

Everyone uses pytest. Or at least, everyone should. It's a super useful testing program with an easy-to-use syntax. Pytest Blame is a pytest plugin that allows pytest to do a quick check to Github to make sure the most recent commit is passing your cases. If somebody broke your cases, pytest-blame will display all the commits pushed since the build broke as well as who pushed each commit. This keeps team workflow transparent and allows for semi-realtime updates from Github without having to open a browser. Since pytest-blame can check up on the online repository as frequently as every time you run your test suite, there is less risk of a broken commit going unnoticed until a merge conflict occurs.

Installation

---

To install pytest-blame you will need to clone the git repository <https://github.com/inTestiGator/pytest-blame>. Once the repository has been cloned you will need to run the install script to update your pytest configuration:

   pipenv run python setup.py install

After pytest-blame has been successfully installed you will need to generate a Github User Token. To do this you will need to go to settings in your github profile:

run pytest with the --track flag and you will see a report containing GitHub information at the top of your pytest report. pytest-blame will display the number of test cases that passed in the latest commit to GitHub, so you can compare it with your current rate.

To run: As of now there isn't a way to see the output in a standard way. To run you need to copy the contents of pytest_blame.py over to tests/conftest.py

   cp pytest_blame.py tests/conftest.py

then running pytest --track tests/ to see the output of the plugin.

Install the most recent version of this plugin with

   pip install pytest-blame
