To learn more, see `Development <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-metadata/blob/master/development.rst>`_ Available metadata ------------------ The following metadata is gathered by this plugin: ======== =============== =================================== Key Description Example ======== =============== =================================== Python Python version 3.6.4 Platform Platform Darwin-17.4.0-x86_64-i386-64bit Packages pytest packages {'py': '1.5.2', 'pytest': '3.4.1'} Plugins pytest plugins {'metadata': '1.6.0'} ======== =============== =================================== Additional metadata ------------------- You can provide your own metadata (key, value pair) by specifying ``--metadata`` on the commandline:: pytest --metadata foo bar Note: You can provide multiple sets of ``--metadata``:: pytest --metadata foo bar --metadata baz zoo There's also the possibility of passing in metadata as a JSON string:: pytest --metadata-from-json '{"cat_says": "bring the cat nip", "human_says": "yes kitty"}' Alternatively a JSON can be read from a given file:: pytest --metadata-from-json-file path/to/valid/file.json Continuous integration ---------------------- When run in a continuous integration environment, additional metadata is added from environment variables. Below is a list of the supported continuous integration providers, along with links to the environment variables that are added to metadata if they're present. * `AppVeyor <https://www.appveyor.com/docs/environment-variables/>`_ * `Bitbucket <https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucket/environment-variables-794502608.html>`_ * `CircleCI <https://circleci.com/docs/1.0/environment-variables/>`_ * `GitLab CI <http://docs.gitlab.com/ce/ci/variables/README.html>`_ * `Jenkins <https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Building+a+software+project#Buildingasoftwareproject-JenkinsSetEnvironmentVariables>`_ * `TaskCluster <https://docs.taskcluster.net/reference/workers/docker-worker/environment>`_ * `Travis CI <https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/environment-variables/>`_ Note that if you're using `Tox <http://tox.readthedocs.io/>`_ to run your tests then you will need to `pass down any additional environment variables <http://tox.readthedocs.io/en/latest/example/basic.html#passing-down-environment-variables>`_ for these to be picked up. Viewing metadata ---------------- If you pass ``--verbose`` on the command line when running your tests, then the metadata will be displayed in the terminal report header:: pytest --verbose ============================ test session starts ============================ platform darwin -- Python 3.6.4, pytest-3.4.1, py-1.5.2, pluggy-0.6.0 -- /usr/bin/python cachedir: .pytest_cache metadata: {'Python': '3.6.4', 'Platform': 'Darwin-17.4.0-x86_64-i386-64bit', 'Packages': {'pytest': '3.4.1', 'py': '1.5.2', 'pluggy': '0.6.0'}, 'Plugins': {'metadata': '1.6.0'}} plugins: metadata-1.6.0 Including metadata in Junit XML ------------------------------- Pytest-metadata provides the session scoped fixture :code:`include_metadata_in_junit_xml` that you may use to include any metadata in Junit XML as ``property`` tags. For example the following test module .. code-block:: python import pytest pytestmark = pytest.mark.usefixtures('include_metadata_in_junit_xml') def test(): pass when called with .. code-block:: bash pytest --metadata Daffy Duck --junit-xml=results.xml would produce the following XML .. code-block:: xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <testsuites> <testsuite name="pytest" errors="0" failures="0" skipped="
