pytest-logbook 1.1.0

Installation

Install using pip:

pip install pytest-logbook

Log Capturing

Log capturing happens automatically once installed, including stdlib logging redirection:

def test_foo():
    logbook.info('hello')
    logging.info('world')
    assert 0

$ py.test test_foo.py

Logs messages emitted during test setup and teardown are also captured individually. If setup fails you will see them in a “Logbook setup records” section and if teardown fails you will see the teardown log messages in a “Logbook teardown records” section.

Fixtures

Several fixtures are provided to access the captured log records.

loghandler

Access the logbook.TestHandler instance active during the test run. You can use it to inspect the emitted log records, see the full documentation for details on how to use this object. Only log records emitted during the actual test are recorded here, records emitted during test setup or teardown are recorded in the other fixtures.

loghandler_setup

Access the logbook.TestHandler instance active during the test setup.

loghandler_teardown

Access the logbook.TestHandler instance active during the test teardown.

Configuration

The plugin can be configured using options in the py.test configuration file in the standard [pytest] section.

logbook_stdlib

This configures whether the stdlib logging is redirected to logbook. Set it to either true (default) or false.
