Output example

Configuration

spec_header_format

You can configure the format of the test headers by specifying a format string in your ini-file:

    [tool:pytest]
    spec_header_format = {module_path}:

In addition to the {path} and {class_name} replacement fields, there is also {test_case} that holds a more human readable name.

spec_test_format

You can configure the format of the test results by specifying a format string in your ini-file:

3 variables are available:

• result - place for indicator
• name - name of test
• docstring_summary - first line from test docstring if available

    [tool:pytest]
    spec_test_format = {result} {name}

or

    [tool:pytest]
    spec_test_format = {result} {docstring_summary}

In second example where docstring is not available the name will be added to spec output.

spec_success_indicator

You can configure the indicator displayed when test passed.

    [tool:pytest]
    spec_success_indicator = ✓

spec_failure_indicator

You can configure the indicator displated when test failed.

    [tool:pytest]
    spec_failure_indicator = ✗

spec_skipped_indicator

You can configure the indicator displated when test is skipped.

    [tool:pytest]
    spec_skipped_indicator = ?

spec_ignore

Comma-separated settings to ignore/hide some tests or output from from plugins like FLAKE8 or ISORT. Any test which contain provided string will be ignored in output spec.

    [tool:pytest]
    spec_ignore = FLAKE8

spec_indent

    [tool:pytest]
    spec_indent = "   "
