Installation

pip install pytest-html-report

Usage

Basic Configuration

Create a pytest_html_report.yml file in your project root:

report:
  title: "My Test Report"
  img_url: "https://your-logo-url.png"
  report_dir: "reports"
  test_environment: "Development"

functional_specs:
  SPEC-001: "User Authentication"
  SPEC-002: "Data Processing"
  SPEC-003: "API Integration"

categories:
  unit: "Unit Tests"
  integration: "Integration Tests"
  regression: "Regression Tests"

Writing Tests

Use the provided markers to add metadata to your tests:

import pytest

@pytest.mark.reporting(
    developer="John Doe",
    functional_specification="SPEC-001",
    test_description="Validate user login flow"
)
@pytest.mark.category("integration", "regression")
def test_user_login(logger):
    """Test user authentication process"""
    logger.step("Setting up test data")
    # Test implementation
    logger.step("Validating results")
    assert True

@pytest.mark.reporting(
    developer="Jane Smith",
    functional_specification=["SPEC-002", "SPEC-003"],
    test_description="Complex data pipeline test"
)
@pytest.mark.category("integration")
def test_data_pipeline(logger):
    """Test data processing pipeline"""
    logger.step("Initializing pipeline")
    # Test implementation
    logger.step("Verifying output")
    assert 1 == 1
    # Test assertions
    logger.assertion("Output 1 matches expected result 1")

Running Tests

Run your tests with pytest as usual:

pytest 

The HTML report will be generated in the configured report directory (default: reports/). The report name is the report_date_time.html, e.g., reports/report_20250622_231929.html.

Example Report Output

Available Markers

• @pytest.mark.reporting: Add metadata about the test

  • developer: Test owner/developer
  • functional_specification: Link to functional specs
  • test_description: Brief description of the test

• @pytest.mark.category: Categorize tests

  • Multiple categories can be specified

Logging Steps

The plugin provides a logger fixture for detailed test steps:

def test_example(logger):
    logger.step("Starting test preparation")
    # Test setup
    logger.step("Executing main test logic")
    # Test execution
    logger.assertion("Asserting result 1 == 1")
    # Assertions

Customizing Report Theme

You can customize the report appearance in your config:

theme:
  primary_color: "#0052CC"
  success_bg: "#E3FCEF"
  error_bg: "#FFEBE6"
  warning_bg: "#FFFAE6"
  info_bg: "#DEEBFF"
