Code

Verified usage

Install the library and pytest. Create a simple test file. Run `pytest` from your terminal, and pytest-sugar's enhanced output will be automatically applied. No explicit imports are needed for basic usage.

# 1. Install pytest and pytest-sugar # pip install pytest pytest-sugar # 2. Create a test file (e.g., test_example.py) # Then run pytest from your terminal in the same directory. # --- test_example.py --- import time import pytest def test_passing_example(): assert True def test_failing_example(): assert False @pytest.mark.parametrize("i", range(3)) def test_parametrized_example(i): time.sleep(0.1) # Simulate some work assert i < 2 # One will fail def test_long_running_example(): time.sleep(0.5) assert True # 3. Run tests using pytest (pytest-sugar is automatically enabled): # pytest

Debug

Known issues

breakingPython 3.7 support was dropped in pytest-sugar v1.0.0. Ensure your environment uses Python 3.8 or newer.

fix

Upgrade to Python 3.8 or newer, or downgrade pytest-sugar to <1.0.0 (not recommended).

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchapytest-sugar's compatibility with pytest versions is crucial. Version 1.0.0 added explicit support for pytest 8.x. Always ensure your pytest-sugar version is compatible with your installed pytest version to avoid unexpected behavior.

fix

Check pytest-sugar's `pyproject.toml` or `setup.py` on GitHub for its declared pytest version range and ensure your pytest installation falls within it. Upgrade both if necessary.

affects: All versions

gotchaConflicts with other pytest plugins (especially those modifying terminal output) are possible. While v1.1.1 included adjustments to prevent some conflicts, issues can still arise.

fix

If you experience unexpected behavior, try running pytest with `--no-sugar` to disable the plugin, or temporarily disable other terminal-modifying plugins to identify the conflict source.

affects: All versions
