Description:
pytestlogfest 0.3.0
Pytest plugin providing three logger fixtures with basic or full writing to log files
Features
Three logger fixtures, one of each scope: session, module and function.
Three options for writing log records to file: quiet, basic, full.
Requirements
Pytest
Pathlib2 (if using Python 2.7)
Installation
You can install “pytest-logfest” via pip from PyPI:
$ pip install pytest-logfest
Usage
Fixtures
The three logger fixtures exposed by this plugin are:
session_logger
module_logger
function_logger
They expose a Python Logger object, so you can use them as such, e.g. session_logger.INFO("This is a log record of level INFO.")
The log nodes of these loggers match the path to the corresponding location or file.
Pytest’s --log-cli-level=<level> will display these log records on stdout.
Log filenames
Writing the log records of the loggers to file can be controlled by the --logfest command-line option:
--logfest=quiet or option omitted: no log files are written.
--logfest=basic: one log file containing INFO and higher for passed tests, DEBUG and higher for setup errors or failed tests.
--logfest=full: in addition to the basic log file, all log records are written to a session log file and one log file per module.
Log file names and locations are as follows (directories will be created if needed):
basic log file in ./artifacts: session-<session timestmap>.log
session-level full log file in ./artifacts: <request.node.name | logfest-root-node>-<session timestmap>.log
module-level full log file in ./artifacts/<path-to-module>: <module_name>-<session timestmap>.log
logfest-root-node can be set in pytest.ini (see below). You can change the compostion of file names through hooks (see below).
pytest.ini
The following values in pytest.ini are relevant to this plugin:
logfest-root-node: name used as root log node and in log filenames; if not set, defaults to the session’s request.node.name.
log-level: should be set to info or lower, so pytest captures all relevant log records.
log-format: the default format is not very convenient in combination with this plugin, suggestion: %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s
Hooks
There are three hooks to change the components of the log filenames:
pytest_logfest_log_file_name_basic
pytest_logfest_log_file_name_full_session
pytest_logfest_log_file_name_full_module
The expose a list that will be joined with the separator character - and appended with .log.
