Installing the PyTest HTML plugin<\/h3>\n

To generate HTML reports with the Pytest framework we have to install a plugin. For the installation, we shall execute the command pip install pytest-html<\/b>. Next to generate the report we shall run the command pytest \u2013html=report.html.<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/b><\/p>\n

The output shows four test cases got passed, one test case skipped, one test case xpassed and one warning. Also a new file named report.html <\/b>got generated inside the project folder.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Next if we copy the report.html file path and open it in a browser, we shall get the below report:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The report contains information on the Environment<\/b> on which the execution has taken place with details on the path of the JAVA_HOME, packages we have installed, platform, plugins and the Python version.<\/p>\n

It contains the test Summary <\/b>information like total test cases, execution duration, and number of test cases passed, failed, errors and so on. It also contains the test Result <\/b>information in details.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/strong> Thus we have discussed how to generate HTML reports with Pytest. For more details, you can refer to the link:<\/p>\n

In the next section we shall discuss how to pass command line options in Pytest.<\/p>\n

Passing run time data to the test method from the command line in PyTest<\/b><\/h3>\n

We can pass run time data to the test method from the command line. We have to add a hook in the conftest file<\/b> which contains the key value pairs to pass options from the command line.<\/p>\n

Let us see how to pass command line options in key value pairs in conftest.py.<\/p>\n

import pytest<\/b><\/p>\n

           # declare runtime variable browser_name and storing it<\/b><\/p>\n

def pytest_addoption(parser):<\/b><\/p>\n

    parser.addoption(<\/b><\/p>\n

        <\/b>“–browser_name”, action=”store”, default=”chrome”<\/b><\/p>\n

    )    <\/b><\/p>\n

# fixture method<\/b><\/p>\n

@pytest.fixture()<\/b><\/p>\n

def setup(request):<\/b><\/p>\n

    browser_name = request.config.getoption(“browser_name”)<\/b><\/p>\n

    if browser_name == “chrome”:<\/b><\/p>\n

         print(“Browser value passed from command line: ” + browser_name)<\/b><\/p>\n

    elif browser_name == “firefox”:<\/b><\/p>\n

         print(“Browser value passed from command line: ” + browser_name)<\/b><\/p>\n

    yield<\/b><\/p>\n

         print(“Postcondition”) <\/b><\/p>\n

Implementation of actual test scenario in test_fixture.py.<\/p>\n

import pytest<\/b><\/p>\n

# actual test method with fixture method name passed as parameter<\/b><\/p>\n

def test_commanlinefixture(setup):<\/b><\/p>\n

    print(“Actual scenario on command line options”)<\/b><\/p>\n

To declare and initialize a runtime variable from the command line, we have sent the command line key browser_name <\/b>from the conftest.py file. <\/b>Also we have set action=”store”, <\/b>since the key browser_name is being stored. In case, we don’t send any option from the command line, it shall take the value set in the default <\/b>parameter. Here we have set the default as chrome<\/b>.<\/p>\n

In this way whatever value we pass from the command line has been registered within the addoption<\/b> method. To retrieve the command line key value in the fixture test method we have to use the request<\/b> instance and use the method request.config.getoption(“browser_name”). <\/b>Please note we have passed the key browser_name as a parameter to that method.<\/p>\n

Now let us run the command py.test test_fixture.py \u2013browser_name firefox \u2013s.<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The output shows that at first Browser value passed from command line: firefox <\/b>got printed in the console since it is part of the fixture setup<\/b> method. Please note, we have passed the command line option as firefox hence it got reflected in the console log. Then the Actual test scenario on command line options <\/b>statement got printed as it is a part of the actual test method test_commanlinefixture. <\/b>Finally Postcondition <\/b>got printed as it appears after the yield keyword.<\/p>\n

Now let us run the command py.test test_fixture.py \u2013browser_name chrome \u2013s.<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The output shows that at first Browser value passed from command line: chrome <\/b>got printed in the console since it is part of the fixture setup<\/b> method. Please note, we have passed the command line option as chrome hence it got reflected in the console log. Then the Actual test scenario on command line options <\/b>statement got printed as it is a part of the actual test method test_commanlinefixture. <\/b>Finally Postcondition <\/b>got printed as it appears after the yield keyword.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/strong> <\/p>\n
