pytest-item-dict 1.3.0

Get a hierarchical dict of session.items

Get a hierarchical dict of session.items Used code from pytest-collect-formatter

---

This pytest plugin was generated with Cookiecutter along with @hackebrot’s cookiecutter-pytest-plugin template.

Features

• Builds a hierarchical dict mirroring the pytest collection tree (directory → module → class → test function) from session.items

• Provides two live dicts:

  • collect_dict — pure structure populated after collection, with optional marker annotations

  • test_dict — populated incrementally during the run; records outcomes, durations, markers, and aggregated @counts

• Every parent node automatically receives a @counts dict that sums the outcomes of all leaf tests beneath it (passed, failed, skipped, unexecuted, executed, total) and a @total_duration float

• Configurable via pytest.ini / pyproject.toml options:

  • create_item_dict — enable/disable the plugin entirely (default: true)

  • set_collect_dict_markers — annotate collect_dict nodes with marker names (default: false)

  • set_test_dict_markers — annotate test_dict nodes with marker names (default: false)

  • set_test_dict_outcomes — record @outcome on each test node (default: true)

  • set_test_dict_durations — record @duration per test and @total_duration on parent nodes (default: false)

  • update_dict_on_test — update test_dict after every individual test in real-time (default: true)

  • set_test_dict_setup_teardown — record setup/teardown phase outcomes as separate nodes in test_dict (default: false)

• Self-registers via the pytest11 entry point — no conftest.py changes required for basic use

• Dicts are accessible from any hook via the plugin manager
