testhide-unittest-plugin 0.1.3

Emit Testhide-format (JUnit-extended) test reports from Python's unittest.

testhide-unittest-plugin

Emit Testhide-format (JUnit-extended) test reports straight from Python's built-in unittest — so the Testhide build agent parses your results correctly and the dashboard/AI features get full data, with zero manual XML.

It produces the exact same contract as testhide-pytest-plugin: fail_id, test_resolution, docstr/attachment/info/jira properties, <system-out>, suite metadata, and testhide_schema_version=1. See the canonical spec: Testhide Report Format v1.

Install

pip install testhide-unittest-plugin
# optional Jira enrichment:
pip install "testhide-unittest-plugin[jira]"

Usage

CLI (recommended) — a thin wrapper over unittest

# discover & run, writing the report:
python -m testhide_unittest discover -s tests -p "test_*.py" --report-xml junittests.xml

# run specific modules/classes:
python -m testhide_unittest tests.test_login --report-xml junittests.xml

Anything unittest accepts is passed through; Testhide options are consumed by the wrapper:

Option	Meaning
--report-xml PATH	output report (default junittests.xml)
--suite-name NAME	<testsuite name="..."> (default unittest)
--quarantine-file PATH	skip listed test ids (also TESTHIDE_QUARANTINE_FILE / .testhide_quarantine_file)
--meta KEY=VALUE	add a suite <property> (repeatable; e.g. --meta build=1042 --meta branch=main)
--no-capture	do not capture stdout/stderr into <system-out>
--jira-url / --jira-username / --jira-password	optional Jira enrichment by fail_id

Exit code is 0 when all tests pass, 1 otherwise — drop it straight into CI.

Programmatic

import unittest
import testhide_unittest

runner = testhide_unittest.TesthideTestRunner(
    report_path="junittests.xml",
    metadata={"build": "1042", "branch": "main"},
)
unittest.main(testRunner=runner)

Enrich a test's report entry

import unittest
import testhide_unittest as th

class LoginTests(unittest.TestCase):
    def test_login(self):
        "User can log in with valid credentials."   # docstring -> docstr (automatic)
        th.attach("/tmp/screenshot.png")            # repeatable; images/logs/json
        th.set_info('{"env": "staging"}')           # free-form context
        th.set_jira("PROJ-123")                     # link a ticket
        ...

What it captures

• Outcomes: pass / fail / error / skip / @expectedFailure (→ Known Issue) / unexpected pass.
• fail_id = md5("module.class.function.ExceptionType(message)") — stable failure key for dedup + Jira linkage (identical to the pytest plugin).
• file / line (for code-impact matching), test duration, docstring, attachments, info, jira, and captured stdout/stderr in <system-out>.
• Suite metadata: hostname, ip, testhide_schema_version, plus your --meta properties.

Parallel / sharded runs

The writer is parallel-safe: each test is written to a temp chunk under .{report}_temp/, then atomically merged into the final report (file-locked). Counts are recomputed on merge.

Conformance

conformance/ vendors the canonical validator + golden fixture. CI runs the plugin against a sample suite and validates the output, guaranteeing the agent will parse it:

python conformance/validate_report.py junittests.xml

Publishing (maintainers)

Local publish (Windows):

copy .env.local.example .env.local   :: then edit .env.local and add PYPI_API_TOKEN
publish.bat

publish.bat loads .env.local (gitignored), runs the conformance tests, builds the sdist + wheel, and uploads to PyPI with twine.

.env.local:

PYPI_API_TOKEN=pypi-...      # https://pypi.org/manage/account/token/

CI publish (GitHub Actions): run the Publish to PyPI workflow (manual workflow_dispatch). Required repository secret:

• PYPI_API_TOKEN — PyPI API token (Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions).
