pytest

✓ import pytest

Plugin is auto-discovered, no explicit import needed

Define a pytest_custom_report hook in conftest.py to override default symbols.

# conftest.py import pytest def pytest_custom_report(short, long): # Customize symbols return { 'PASSED': short and '.' or 'PASS', 'FAILED': short and 'F' or 'FAIL', }

Debug

Known issues

breakingRenamed 'xfail' to 'XFAIL' in default output to match pytest v4.2.0. This changes the default symbols for expected failures.

fix

If you relied on the old 'xfail' symbol, update your custom report or accept the new default 'XFAIL'.

affects: v1.0.0 -> v1.0.1

gotchaThe plugin does not support per-test symbols; the hook function receives 'short' and 'long' booleans that determine the detail level, not individual test names.

fix

Implement your own per-test logic if needed by inspecting the test item (not directly supported).

affects: all

deprecatedThe plugin is not actively maintained; no commits since 2019. It may break with future pytest versions.

fix

Consider alternatives like pytest-custom-report or maintaining a fork.

Errors

Common errors & fixes

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pytest_custom_report'

Plugin not installed in the current environment.

fix

Run 'pip install pytest-custom-report'

pytest: error: unrecognized arguments: --custom-report

The plugin does not define any command-line flags; configuration is done via the hook function.

fix

Remove any --custom-report arguments and define the pytest_custom_report hook in conftest.py.

Failed: could not create report: 'PASSED'

Return value from pytest_custom_report must be a dict with keys matching the standard outcomes (e.g., 'PASSED', 'FAILED').

fix

Ensure your hook returns a dict with correct outcome keys.
