pytest-tm4j-reporter 0.1.2

Cloud Jira Test Management (TM4J) PyTest reporter plugin

Project summary

Pytest plugin which allows to upload test execution result to TM4J Cloud version. Plugin works on the top of the json-reporter pytest plugin and tm4j_reporter_api library.

Install and setup

How to build

python setup.py sdist

How to install

# PyPi
pip install pytest-tm4j-reporter
# Git
pip install git+ssh://[e-mail]:Klika-Tech/tm4j_reporter_pytest.git

Plugin configuration

Create pytest.ini within your project and put the variables there (see below table)

Param	Mandatory	Description	Example
tm4j_project_prefix	Yes	Jira / TM4J project prefix without trailing dash	QT
tm4j_api_key	Yes	API key to access TM4j. To get it see Instruction
tm4j_testcycle_key	No	TM4J existing test cycle key. A new test cycle created if not specified	R40
tm4j_testcycle_prefix	No	Prefix for new test cycle. Default: autoreport. Full test cycle name is " ". e.g. "14-Jul-2020 16:41:24 UTC"	Login autotests
tm4j_testcycle_description	No	Description for the new test cycle. A description for the existing test cycle won't be changed	Update v14.43.136
tm4j_project_webui_host	No	Jira server base host. If provided will generate a link to a newly created test cycle	klika-tech.atlassian.net
tm4j_result_mapping	No	How to map test result - Pytest vs TM4J. tm4j-default (default) or pytest. see "Result mapping" section	tm4j-default

Example:

[pytest]
tm4j_project_prefix = QT
tm4j_api_key = eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhb
tm4j_testcycle_key = R40
tm4j_testcycle_prefix = login tests
tm4j_testcycle_description = Update v14.43.136 
tm4j_project_webui_host = klika-tech.atlassian.net

Usage

Writing the tests

To be able to report your test to TM4J your test names should follow convetion: test_T<TM4J test id>_the_rest_of_test_name. So workflow will be:

• Create test case in TM4J (from UI)
• Notice it's unique id
• Create test in pytest with TM4J prefix in name.

Let's say in TM4J project with project key QT full test key is QT-T1234. In this case in pytest it should be created like

def test_T1234_login_as_user():
    ...test code goes here

Result mapping

Pytest has test result status names different from TM4J
The mapping is configured via tm4j_result_mapping parameter (optional)

Possible values: tm4j-default (default), pytest
By default, the statuses are mapped according to the following scheme:

Pytest	TM4J	Description
passed	Pass
failed	Fail
skipped	Not executed
xfailed	Pass	Failed, as it should
xpassed	Fail	Should fail, but was passed

TM4J test result statuses are configurable
For more precise mapping, pytest statuses can be added to TM4J via its UI

Pytest	TM4J
passed	Pass
failed	Fail
skipped	Skip
xfailed	xFail
xpassed	xPass

tm4j_result_mapping=pytest will activate this scheme

Metadata

It is possible to add and report additional metadata using tm4j_r fixture. Currently supported only comment. Example:

def test_T1701_my_test(tm4j_r):
    tm4j_r.comment = 'Here might be some comment for this test<br>second line here<br>third line here'

The published comment field will also contain a crash info in case if the test execution fails. Example:

crash info:
path: /opt/work/tm4j_reporter_pytest/tests/common/report_tests.py
lineno: 17
message: assert False

Please note that if you use tm4j_r fixture you won't be able to run the test without enabling plugin --tm4j

How to run

Finally we're ready to run our test(s) with reporting to TM4J. It is simple as just run pytest with --tm4j option
--tm4j-no-publish flag can be used if you don't want to publish your execution results to TM4J

pytest --tm4j

Result

• .report.json file created in CWD
• The file is overwritten each time
• Execution result is uploaded to TM4J

Developer notes

• Line wrapping border = 120 chars
