Description:

pytestprint 1.0.1

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 a feedback to the end-user that what is just happening in the
background.
