pytest-print adds the printer fixture you can use to print messages to the user (directly to the pytest runner, not stdout)
Project description
pytest-print
Allows to print extra content onto the PyTest reporting. This can be used for example to report sub-steps for long running tests, or to print debug information in your tests when you cannot debug the code.
install
pip install pytest-print
The plugin provides ability to print information during the tests runs.
flags
--print
by default the module activates print when pytest verbosity is greater than zero, this allows to bypass this and force print irrespective of the verbosity--print-relative-time
will print the relative time since the start of the test (display how long it takes to reach prints)
use cases
sub-step reporting
For tests that are long running this can provide feedback to the end-user that what is just happening in the background.
