testhide-pytest-plugin 0.1.9

A pytest plugin for creating incremental XML test reports for Testhide system.

Testhide Pytest Plugin

A professional-grade pytest plugin that generates robust JUnit-style XML reports. This plugin was designed to solve real-world CI/CD challenges by ensuring data integrity during test failures and providing full support for parallel test execution.

Key Features

• Incremental Reporting: Every single test result is saved immediately, guaranteeing that partial results are available even if a test run is catastrophically interrupted.
• Full pytest-xdist Compatibility: The plugin uses a robust temporary file and merge strategy, enabling it to work flawlessly with parallel test execution (-n X).
• pytest-rerunfailures Support: Every rerun of a failing test is logged as a separate <testcase> in the final report, providing a complete and accurate picture of flaky tests.
• JIRA Integration: Automatically enriches failure reports with information from JIRA, linking test failures to known bugs and their statuses.
• Clean Stack Traces: Automatically removes internal "noise" from pytest and pluggy calls in stack traces, leaving only the relevant information from your application and test code.
• Atomic & Safe Writes: Uses a temporary directory and a final, atomic merge to ensure the report file is never corrupted, even under heavy load or across multiple concurrent builds on the same agent.

Installation

pip install testhide-pytest-plugin

Usage

Basic Run

To activate the plugin and generate a report, use the --report-xml option:

pytest --report-xml=junittests.xml

Parallel Execution (pytest-xdist)

The plugin is fully compatible with pytest-xdist out of the box. Simply add the -n flag to run tests in multiple processes. The plugin will automatically handle and merge the results from all worker nodes.

pytest -n auto --report-xml=junittests.xml

Rerunning Failed Tests (pytest-rerunfailures)

The plugin works seamlessly with pytest-rerunfailures. Every attempt of a failing test will be recorded in the final report, allowing for accurate tracking of test instability.

pytest --reruns 5 --report-xml=junittests.xml

JIRA Integration

To enable JIRA integration, simply provide the connection details as command-line options. Integration is enabled automatically when all three parameters are present.

• --jira-url: The URL of your JIRA instance.
• --jira-username: The username for the connection.
• --jira-password: The password or API token for the user.

pytest --report-xml=junittests.xml \
       --jira-url="[https://jira.yourcompany.com](https://jira.yourcompany.com)" \
       --jira-username="my-bot" \
       --jira-password="your-api-token"

Extending the Plugin (For Framework Developers)

testhide-pytest-plugin provides custom hooks for integration with your own plugins, allowing you to inject project-specific metadata into the report.

Example implementation in your plugin:

pytest_testhide_add_metadata(plugin)

This hook allows you to add metadata at the session level (e.g., build information, branch name, etc.). It must return a list of (name, value) tuples.

from pytest import hookimpl

class MyFrameworkPlugin:
    @hookimpl
    def pytest_testhide_add_metadata(self, plugin):
        return [
            ('build', '1.2.3'),
            ('branch', 'develop')
        ]

pytest_testhide_get_test_case_properties(item, report)

This hook allows you to add data at the individual test case level (e.g., a docstring, steps to reproduce, or artifact links). It must return a list of (name, value) tuples.

from pytest import hookimpl

class MyFrameworkPlugin:
    @hookimpl
    def pytest_testhide_get_test_case_properties(self, item, report):
        properties = []
        if item.obj and item.obj.__doc__:
            properties.append(('docstr', item.obj.__doc__.strip()))
        
        # Example of adding an artifact link
        if hasattr(item, 'artifact_url'):
            properties.append(('attachment', item.artifact_url))
            
        return properties
