pytest-junit-xray-xml 0.2.0

Export test results in an augmented JUnit format for usage with Xray ()

pytest-junit-xray-xml

This plugin for pytest exports test results in an extended JUnit format for consumption by the Xray plugin for Jira.

This plugin aims to also be a drop-in replacement for pytest's built-in JUnit support, so all non-Xray-related functionality will (hopefully soon) be supported.

Rationale

The JUnit support in pytest does not allow for the following features:

• it is not possible to generate <item> elements as subnodes of a <property> tag (needed for storing test evidence)
• it is not possible to store text in a property tag

Installation

This package is available on pypi.org

python -m pip install pytest-junit-xray-xml

Usage

[!NOTE] You need to explicitly import all fixtures that you want to use, e.g. from pytest_junit_xray_xml import record_test_key

To export the results as Xray-compatible JUnit, please start pytest with the parameter --junit-xray-xml <filename.xml>, e.g.

python -m pytest tests/examples.py --junit-xray-xml xray.xml

(All examples are available in tests/examples.py and can be run via the command above)

The following fixtures are supported.

record_test_key

stores the test key in a property named test_key. Xray will attach the test results to the test case identified by this key.

[!ALERT] Only a single test key is supported at the moment

example

def test_record_test_key(record_test_key):
    record_test_key("JIRA-1234")
    assert True

output

<property name="test_key" value="JIRA-1234" />

record_test_id

stores the test ID in a property named test_id. Xray will attach the test results to the test case identified by this key.

[!ALERT] Only a single test key is supported at the moment

example

def test_record_test_key(record_test_key):
    record_test_key("JIRA-1234")
    assert True

output

<property name="test_key" value="JIRA-1234" />

record_test_description

stores the (potentially multi-line) test description as the text of a property named test_description. This cannot be accomplished with base pytest fixtures.

example

def test_record_multiple_descriptions(record_test_description):
    record_test_description("This is my test description line 1")
    record_test_description("and line 2.")
    assert True

output

<property name="test_description">This is my test description line 1
and line 2.</property>

record_test_evidence

stores the test evidence with base64 encoding inside the XML. Xray will attach this file to the corresponding Jira ticket.

Multiple files with evidence can be stored for a single test case (not shown in the example below).

example

def test_store_test_evidence(record_test_evidence):
    with record_test_evidence("file1.txt", "w", encoding="UTF-8") as f:
        f.write("My file content is text")
    assert True

output

<property name="testrun_evidence">
                <item name="file1.txt">TXkgZmlsZSBjb250ZW50IGlzIHRleHQ=</item>
            </property>

example

def test_store_test_evidence_xml(record_test_evidence):
    xml_content = ElementTree(Element("my_root", my_attribute="1"))
    with record_test_evidence("file1.xml", "wb") as f:
        xml_content.write(f)
    assert True

output

<property name="testrun_evidence">
    <item name="file1.xml">PG15X3Jvb3QgbXlfYXR0cmlidXRlPSIxIiAvPg==</item>
</property>
