API Reference
=============

This page contains the full reference to pytest's API.


Constants
---------

pytest.__version__
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The current pytest version, as a string::

    >>> import pytest
    >>> pytest.__version__
    '7.0.0'

.. _`hidden-param`:

pytest.HIDDEN_PARAM
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. versionadded:: 8.4

Can be passed to ``ids`` of :py:func:`Metafunc.parametrize <pytest.Metafunc.parametrize>`
or to ``id`` of :func:`pytest.param` to hide a parameter set from the test name.
Can only be used at most 1 time, as test names need to be unique.

.. _`version-tuple`:

pytest.version_tuple
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. versionadded:: 7.0

The current pytest version, as a tuple::

    >>> import pytest
    >>> pytest.version_tuple
    (7, 0, 0)

For pre-releases, the last component will be a string with the prerelease version::

    >>> import pytest
    >>> pytest.version_tuple
    (7, 0, '0rc1')

Marks
-----

Marks can be used to apply metadata to *test functions* (but not fixtures), which can then be accessed by
fixtures or plugins.




.. _`pytest.mark.filterwarnings ref`:

pytest.mark.filterwarnings
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

**Tutorial**: :ref:`filterwarnings`

Add warning filters to marked test items.

.. py:function:: pytest.mark.filterwarnings(filter)

    :keyword str filter:
        A *warning specification string*, which is composed of contents of the tuple ``(action, message, category, module, lineno)``
        as specified in :ref:`python:warning-filter` section of
        the Python documentation, separated by ``":"``. Optional fields can be omitted.
        Module names passed for filtering are not regex-escaped.

        For example:

        .. code-block:: python

            @pytest.mark.filterwarnings("ignore:.*usage will be deprecated.*:DeprecationWarning")
            def test_foo(): ...


.. _`pytest.mark.parametrize ref`:

pytest.mark.parametrize
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

**Tutorial**: :ref:`parametrize`

This mark has the same signature as :py:meth:`pytest.Metafunc.parametrize`; see there.


.. _`pytest.mark.skip ref`:

pytest.mark.skip
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

**Tutorial**: :ref:`skip`

Unconditionally skip a test function.

.. py:function:: pytest.mark.skip(reason=None)

    :keyword str reason: Reason why the test function is being skipped.


.. _`pytest.mark.skipif ref`:

pytest.mark.skipif
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

**Tutorial**: :ref:`skipif`

Skip a test function if a condition is ``True``.

.. py:function:: pytest.mark.skipif(condition, *, reason=None)

    :type condition: bool or str
    :param condition: ``True/False`` if the condition should be skipped or a :ref:`condition string <string conditions>`.
    :keyword str reason: Reason why the test function is being skipped.


.. _`pytest.mark.usefixtures ref`:

pytest.mark.usefixtures
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

**Tutorial**: :ref:`usefixtures`

Mark a test function as using the given fixture names.

.. py:function:: pytest.mark.usefixtures(*names)

    :param args: The names of the fixture to use, as strings.

.. note::

    When using `usefixtures` in hooks, it can only load fixtures when applied to a test function before test setup
    (for example in the `pytest_collection_modifyitems` hook).

    Also note that this mark has no effect when applied to **fixtures**.



.. _`pytest.mark.xfail ref`:

pytest.mark.xfail
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

**Tutorial**: :ref:`xfail`

Marks a test function as *expected to fail*.

.. py:function:: pytest.mark.xfail(condition=False, *, reason=None, raises=None, run=True, strict=strict_xfail)

    :keyword Union[bool, str] condition:
        Condition for marking the test function as xfail (``True/False`` or a
        :ref:`condition string <string conditions>`). If a ``bool``, you also have
        to specify ``reason`` (see :ref:`condition string <string conditions>`).
    :keyword str reason:
        Reason why the test function is marked as xfail.
    :keyword raises:
        Exception class (or tuple of classes) expected to be raised by the test function; other exceptions will fail the test.
        Note that subclasses of the classes passed will also result in a match (similar to how the ``except`` statement works).
    :type raises: Type[:py:exc:`Exception`]

    :keyword bool run:
        Whether the test function should actually be executed. If ``False``, the function will always xfail and will
        not be executed (useful if a function is segfaulting).
    :keyword bool strict:
        * If ``False`` the function will be shown in the terminal output as ``xfailed`` if it fails
          and as ``xpass`` if it passes. In both cases this will not cause the test suite to fail as a whole. This
          is particularly useful to mark *flaky* tests (tests that fail at random) to be tackled later.
        * If ``True``, the function will be shown in the terminal output as ``xfailed`` if it fails, but if it
          unexpectedly passes then it will **fail** the test suite. This is particularly useful to mark functions
          that are always failing and there should be a clear indication if they unexpectedly start to pass (for example
          a new release of a library fixes a known bug).

        Defaults to :confval:`strict_xfail`, which is ``False`` by default.


Custom marks
~~~~~~~~~~~~

Marks are created dynamically using the factory object ``pytest.mark`` and applied as a decorator.

For example:

.. code-block:: python

    @pytest.mark.timeout(10, "slow", method="thread")
    def test_function(): ...

Will create and attach a :class:`Mark <pytest.Mark>` object to the collected
:class:`Item <pytest.Item>`, which can then be accessed by fixtures or hooks with
:meth:`Node.iter_markers <_pytest.nodes.Node.iter_markers>`. The ``mark`` object will have the following attributes:

.. code-block:: python

    mark.args == (10, "slow")
    mark.kwargs == {"method": "thread"}

Example for using multiple custom markers:

.. code-block:: python

    @pytest.mark.timeout(10, "slow", method="thread")
    @pytest.mark.slow
    def test_function(): ...

When :meth:`Node.iter_markers <_pytest.nodes.Node.iter_markers>` or :meth:`Node.iter_markers_with_node <_pytest.nodes.Node.iter_markers_with_node>` is used with multiple markers, the marker closest to the function will be iterated over first. The above example will result in ``@pytest.mark.slow`` followed by ``@pytest.mark.timeout(...)``.

.. _`fixtures-api`:

Fixtures
--------

**Tutorial**: :ref:`fixture`

Fixtures are requested by test functions or other fixtures by declaring them as argument names.


Example of a test requiring a fixture:

.. code-block:: python

    def test_output(capsys):
        print("hello")
        out, err = capsys.readouterr()
        assert out == "hello\n"


Example of a fixture requiring another fixture:

.. code-block:: python

    @pytest.fixture
    def db_session(tmp_path):
        fn = tmp_path / "db.file"
        return connect(fn)

For more details, consult the full :ref:`fixtures docs <fixture>`.

@pytest.hookimpl
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. function:: pytest.hookimpl
    :decorator:

    pytest's decorator for marking functions as hook implementations.

    See :ref:`writinghooks` and :func:`pluggy.HookimplMarker`.

@pytest.hookspec
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. function:: pytest.hookspec
    :decorator:

    pytest's decorator for marking functions as hook specifications.

    See :ref:`declaringhooks` and :func:`pluggy.HookspecMarker`.

.. currentmodule:: _pytest.hookspec

Bootstrapping hooks
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bootstrapping hooks called for plugins registered early enough (internal and third-party plugins).

.. hook:: pytest_load_initial_conftests
.. autofunction:: pytest_load_initial_conftests
.. hook:: pytest_cmdline_parse
.. autofunction:: pytest_cmdline_parse
.. hook:: pytest_cmdline_main
.. autofunction:: pytest_cmdline_main

.. _`initialization-hooks`:

Initialization hooks
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Initialization hooks called for plugins and ``conftest.py`` files.

.. hook:: pytest_addoption
.. autofunction:: pytest_addoption
.. hook:: pytest_addhooks
.. autofunction:: pytest_addhooks
.. hook:: pytest_configure
.. autofunction:: pytest_configure
.. hook:: pytest_unconfigure
.. autofunction:: pytest_unconfigure
.. hook:: pytest_sessionstart
.. autofunction:: pytest_sessionstart
.. hook:: pytest_sessionfinish
.. autofunction:: pytest_sessionfinish

.. hook:: pytest_plugin_registered
.. autofunction:: pytest_plugin_registered

Collection hooks
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

``pytest`` calls the following hooks for collecting files and directories:

.. hook:: pytest_collection
.. autofunction:: pytest_collection
.. hook:: pytest_ignore_collect
.. autofunction:: pytest_ignore_collect
.. hook:: pytest_collect_directory
.. autofunction:: pytest_collect_directory
.. hook:: pytest_collect_file
.. autofunction:: pytest_collect_file
.. hook:: pytest_pycollect_makemodule
.. autofunction:: pytest_pycollect_makemodule

For influencing the collection of objects in Python modules
you can use the following hook:

.. hook:: pytest_pycollect_makeitem
.. autofunction:: pytest_pycollect_makeitem
.. hook:: pytest_generate_tests
.. autofunction:: pytest_generate_tests
.. hook:: pytest_make_parametrize_id
.. autofunction:: pytest_make_parametrize_id

Hooks for influencing test skipping:

.. hook:: pytest_markeval_namespace
.. autofunction:: pytest_markeval_namespace

After collection is complete, you can modify the order of
items, delete or otherwise amend the test items:

.. hook:: pytest_collection_modifyitems
.. autofunction:: pytest_collection_modifyitems

.. note::
    If this hook is implemented in ``conftest.py`` files, it always receives all collected items, not only those
    under the ``conftest.py`` where it is implemented.

.. autofunction:: pytest_collection_finish

Test running (runtest) hooks
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

All runtest related hooks receive a :py:class:`pytest.Item <pytest.Item>` object.

.. hook:: pytest_runtestloop
.. autofunction:: pytest_runtestloop
.. hook:: pytest_runtest_protocol
.. autofunction:: pytest_runtest_protocol
.. hook:: pytest_runtest_logstart
.. autofunction:: pytest_runtest_logstart
.. hook:: pytest_runtest_logfinish
.. autofunction:: pytest_runtest_logfinish
.. hook:: pytest_runtest_setup
.. autofunction:: pytest_runtest_setup
.. hook:: pytest_runtest_call
.. autofunction:: pytest_runtest_call
.. hook:: pytest_runtest_teardown
.. autofunction:: pytest_runtest_teardown
.. hook:: pytest_runtest_makereport
.. autofunction:: pytest_runtest_makereport

For deeper understanding you may look at the default implementation of
these hooks in ``_pytest.runner`` and maybe also
in ``_pytest.pdb`` which interacts with ``_pytest.capture``
and its input/output capturing in order to immediately drop
into interactive debugging when a test failure occurs.

.. hook:: pytest_pyfunc_call
.. autofunction:: pytest_pyfunc_call

Global Variables
----------------

pytest treats some global variables in a special manner when defined in a test module or
``conftest.py`` files.


.. globalvar:: collect_ignore

**Tutorial**: :ref:`customizing-test-collection`

Can be declared in *conftest.py files* to exclude test directories or modules.
Needs to be a list of paths (``str``, :class:`pathlib.Path` or any :class:`os.PathLike`).

.. code-block:: python

  collect_ignore = ["setup.py"]


.. globalvar:: collect_ignore_glob

**Tutorial**: :ref:`customizing-test-collection`

Can be declared in *conftest.py files* to exclude test directories or modules
with Unix shell-style wildcards. Needs to be ``list[str]`` where ``str`` can
contain glob patterns.

.. code-block:: python

  collect_ignore_glob = ["*_ignore.py"]


.. globalvar:: pytest_plugins

**Tutorial**: :ref:`available installable plugins`

Can be declared at the **global** level in *test modules* and *conftest.py files* to register additional plugins.
Can be either a ``str`` or ``Sequence[str]``.

.. code-block:: python

    pytest_plugins = "myapp.testsupport.myplugin"

.. code-block:: python

    pytest_plugins = ("myapp.testsupport.tools", "myapp.testsupport.regression")


.. globalvar:: pytestmark

**Tutorial**: :ref:`scoped-marking`

Can be declared at the **global** level in *test modules* to apply one or more :ref:`marks <marks ref>` to all
test functions and methods. Can be either a single mark or a list of marks (applied in left-to-right order).

.. code-block:: python

    import pytest

    pytestmark = pytest.mark.webtest


.. code-block:: python

    import pytest

    pytestmark = [pytest.mark.integration, pytest.mark.slow]


Environment Variables
---------------------

Environment variables that can be used to change pytest's behavior.

.. envvar:: CI

When set to a non-empty value, pytest acknowledges that is running in a CI process. See also :ref:`ci-pipelines`.

.. envvar:: BUILD_NUMBER

When set to a non-empty value, pytest acknowledges that is running in a CI process. Alternative to :envvar:`CI`. See also :ref:`ci-pipelines`.

.. envvar:: PYTEST_ADDOPTS

This contains a command-line (parsed by the py:mod:`shlex` module) that will be **prepended** to the command line given
by the user, see :ref:`adding default options` for more information.

.. envvar:: PYTEST_VERSION

This environment variable is defined at the start of the pytest session and is undefined afterwards.
It contains the value of ``pytest.__version__``, and among other things can be used to easily check if a code is running from within a pytest run.

.. envvar:: PYTEST_CURRENT_TEST

This is not meant to be set by users, but is set by pytest internally with the name of the current test so other
processes can inspect it, see :ref:`pytest current test env` for more information.

.. envvar:: PYTEST_DEBUG

When set, pytest will print tracing and debug information.

.. envvar:: PYTEST_DEBUG_TEMPROOT

Root for temporary directories produced by fixtures like :fixture:`tmp_path`
as discussed in :ref:`temporary directory location and retention`.

.. envvar:: PYTEST_DISABLE_PLUGIN_AUTOLOAD

When set, disables plugin auto-loading through :std:doc:`entry point packaging
metadata <packaging:guides/creating-and-discovering-plugins>`. Only plugins
explicitly specified in :envvar:`PYTEST_PLUGINS` or with ``-p`` will be loaded.
See also :ref:`--disable-plugin-autoload <disable_plugin_autoload>`.

.. envvar:: PYTEST_PLUGINS

Contains comma-separated list of modules that should be loaded as plugins:

.. code-block:: bash

    export PYTEST_PLUGINS=mymodule.plugin,xdist

See also ``-p``.

.. envvar:: PYTEST_THEME

Sets a `pygment style <https://pygments.org/docs/styles/>`_ to use for the code output.

.. envvar:: PYTEST_THEME_MODE

Sets the :envvar:`PYTEST_THEME` to be either *dark* or *light*.

.. envvar:: PY_COLORS

When set to ``1``, pytest will use color in terminal output.
When set to ``0``, pytest will not use color.
``PY_COLORS`` takes precedence over ``NO_COLOR`` and ``FORCE_COLOR``.

.. envvar:: NO_COLOR

When set to a non-empty string (regardless of value), pytest will not use color in terminal output.
``PY_COLORS`` takes precedence over ``NO_COLOR``, which takes precedence over ``FORCE_COLOR``.
See `no-color.org <https://no-color.org/>`__ for other libraries supporting this community standard.

.. envvar:: FORCE_COLOR

When set to a non-empty string (regardless of value), pytest will use color in terminal output.
``PY_COLORS`` and ``NO_COLOR`` take precedence over ``FORCE_COLOR``.

.. _`ini options ref`:

Configuration Options
---------------------

Here is a list of builtin configuration options that may be written in a ``pytest.ini`` (or ``.pytest.ini``),
``pyproject.toml``, ``tox.ini``, or ``setup.cfg`` file, usually located at the root of your repository.

To see each file format in details, see :ref:`config file formats`.

.. warning::
    Usage of ``setup.cfg`` is not recommended except for very simple use cases. ``.cfg``
    files use a different parser than ``pytest.ini`` and ``tox.ini`` which might cause hard to track
    down problems.
    When possible, it is recommended to use the latter files, or ``pytest.toml`` or ``pyproject.toml``, to hold your pytest configuration.

Configuration options may be overwritten in the command-line by using ``-o/--override-ini``, which can also be
passed multiple times. The expected format is ``name=value``. For example::

   pytest -o console_output_style=classic -o cache_dir=/tmp/mycache


.. confval:: addopts

   Add the specified ``OPTS`` to the set of command line arguments as if they
   had been specified by the user. Example: if you have this configuration file content:

   .. code-block:: toml

        # content of pytest.toml
        [pytest]
        addopts = ["--maxfail=2", "-rf"]  # exit after 2 failures, report fail info

   issuing ``pytest test_hello.py`` actually means:

   .. code-block:: bash

        pytest --maxfail=2 -rf test_hello.py

   Default is to add no options.


.. confval:: cache_dir

   Sets the directory where the cache plugin's content is stored. Default directory is
   ``.pytest_cache`` which is created in :ref:`rootdir <rootdir>`. Directory may be
   relative or absolute path. If setting relative path, then directory is created
   relative to :ref:`rootdir <rootdir>`. Additionally, a path may contain environment
   variables, that will be expanded. For more information about cache plugin
   please refer to :ref:`cache_provider`.

.. confval:: collect_imported_tests

   .. versionadded:: 8.4

   Setting this to ``false`` will make pytest collect classes/functions from test
   files **only** if they are defined in that file (as opposed to imported there).

   .. tab:: toml

       .. code-block:: toml

            [pytest]
            collect_imported_tests = false

   .. tab:: ini

       .. code-block:: ini

            [pytest]
            collect_imported_tests = false

   Default: ``true``

   pytest traditionally collects classes/functions in the test module namespace even if they are imported from another file.

   For example:

   .. code-block:: python

       # contents of src/domain.py
       class Testament: ...


       # contents of tests/test_testament.py
       from domain import Testament


       def test_testament(): ...

   In this scenario, with the default options, pytest will collect the class `Testament` from `tests/test_testament.py` because it starts with `Test`, even though in this case it is a production class being imported in the test module namespace.

   Set ``collected_imported_tests`` to ``false`` in the configuration file prevents that.

.. confval:: consider_namespace_packages

   Controls if pytest should attempt to identify `namespace packages <https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/guides/packaging-namespace-packages>`__
   when collecting Python modules. Default is ``False``.

   Set to ``True`` if the package you are testing is part of a namespace package.
   Namespace packages are also supported as ``--pyargs`` target.

   Only `native namespace packages <https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/guides/packaging-namespace-packages/#native-namespace-packages>`__
   are supported, with no plans to support `legacy namespace packages <https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/guides/packaging-namespace-packages/#legacy-namespace-packages>`__.

   .. versionadded:: 8.1

.. confval:: console_output_style

   Sets the console output style while running tests:

   * ``classic``: classic pytest output.
   * ``progress``: like classic pytest output, but with a progress indicator.
   * ``progress-even-when-capture-no``: allows the use of the progress indicator even when ``capture=no``.
   * ``count``: like progress, but shows progress as the number of tests completed instead of a percent.
   * ``times``: show tests duration.

   The default is ``progress``, but you can fallback to ``classic`` if you prefer or
   the new mode is causing unexpected problems:

   .. tab:: toml

       .. code-block:: toml

            [pytest]
            console_output_style = "classic"

   .. tab:: ini

       .. code-block:: ini

            [pytest]
            console_output_style = classic


.. confval:: disable_test_id_escaping_and_forfeit_all_rights_to_community_support

   .. versionadded:: 4.4

   pytest by default escapes any non-ascii characters used in unicode strings
   for the parametrization because it has several downsides.
   If however you would like to use unicode strings in parametrization
   and see them in the terminal as is (non-escaped), use this option
   in your configuration file:

   .. tab:: toml

       .. code-block:: toml

           [pytest]
           disable_test_id_escaping_and_forfeit_all_rights_to_community_support = true

   .. tab:: ini

       .. code-block:: ini

           [pytest]
           disable_test_id_escaping_and_forfeit_all_rights_to_community_support = true

   Keep in mind however that this might cause unwanted side effects and
   even bugs depending on the OS used and plugins currently installed,
   so use it at your own risk.

   Default: ``False``.

   See :ref:`parametrizemark`.

.. confval:: doctest_encoding



   Default encoding to use to decode text files with docstrings.
   :ref:`See how pytest handles doctests <doctest>`.


.. confval:: doctest_optionflags

   One or more doctest flag names from the standard ``doctest`` module.
   :ref:`See how pytest handles doctests <doctest>`.


.. confval:: empty_parameter_set_mark



    Allows to pick the action for empty parametersets in parameterization

    * ``skip`` skips tests with an empty parameterset (default)
    * ``xfail`` marks tests with an empty parameterset as xfail(run=False)
    * ``fail_at_collect`` raises an exception if parametrize collects an empty parameter set

    .. tab:: toml

        .. code-block:: toml

            [pytest]
            empty_parameter_set_mark = "xfail"

    .. tab:: ini

        .. code-block:: ini

            [pytest]
            empty_parameter_set_mark = xfail

    .. note::

      The default value of this option is planned to change to ``xfail`` in future releases
      as this is considered less error prone, see :issue:`3155` for more details.


.. confval:: enable_assertion_pass_hook

   Enables the :hook:`pytest_assertion_pass` hook.
   Make sure to delete any previously generated ``.pyc`` cache files.

   .. tab:: toml

       .. code-block:: toml

            [pytest]
            enable_assertion_pass_hook = true

   .. tab:: ini

       .. code-block:: ini

            [pytest]
            enable_assertion_pass_hook = true


.. confval:: faulthandler_exit_on_timeout

   Exit the pytest process after the per-test timeout is reached by passing
   `exit=True` to the :func:`faulthandler.dump_traceback_later` function. This
   is particularly useful to avoid wasting CI resources for test suites that
   are prone to putting the main Python interpreter into a deadlock state.

   This option is set to 'false' by default.

   .. tab:: toml

       .. code-block:: toml

            [pytest]
            faulthandler_timeout = 5
            faulthandler_exit_on_timeout = true

   .. tab:: ini

       .. code-block:: ini

            [pytest]
            faulthandler_timeout = 5
            faulthandler_exit_on_timeout = true



.. confval:: faulthandler_timeout

   Dumps the tracebacks of all threads if a test takes longer than ``X`` seconds to run (including
   fixture setup and teardown). Implemented using the :func:`faulthandler.dump_traceback_later` function,
   so all caveats there apply.

   .. tab:: toml

       .. code-block:: toml

            [pytest]
            faulthandler_timeout = 5

   .. tab:: ini

       .. code-block:: ini

            [pytest]
            faulthandler_timeout = 5

   For more information please refer to :ref:`faulthandler`.
   For more information please refer to :ref:`faulthandler`.

.. confval:: filterwarnings



   Sets a list of filters and actions that should be taken for matched
   warnings. By default all warnings emitted during the test session
   will be displayed in a summary at the end of the test session.

   .. tab:: toml

       .. code-block:: toml

            [pytest]
            filterwarnings = ["error", "ignore::DeprecationWarning"]

   .. tab:: ini

       .. code-block:: ini

            [pytest]
            filterwarnings =
                error
                ignore::DeprecationWarning

   This tells pytest to ignore deprecation warnings and turn all other warnings
   into errors. For more information please refer to :ref:`warnings`.


.. confval:: junit_duration_report

    .. versionadded:: 4.1

    Configures how durations are recorded into the JUnit XML report:

    * ``total`` (the default): duration times reported include setup, call, and teardown times.
    * ``call``: duration times reported include only call times, excluding setup and teardown.

    .. tab:: toml

        .. code-block:: toml

            [pytest]
            junit_duration_report = "call"

    .. tab:: ini

        .. code-block:: ini

            [pytest]
            junit_duration_report = call


.. confval:: junit_family

    .. versionadded:: 4.2
    .. versionchanged:: 6.1
        Default changed to ``xunit2``.

    Configures the format of the generated JUnit XML file. The possible options are:

    * ``xunit1`` (or ``legacy``): produces old style output, compatible with the xunit 1.0 format.
    * ``xunit2``: produces `xunit 2.0 style output <https://github.com/jenkinsci/xunit-plugin/blob/xunit-2.3.2/src/main/resources/org/jenkinsci/plugins/xunit/types/model/xsd/junit-10.xsd>`__, which should be more compatible with latest Jenkins versions.  **This is the default**.

    .. tab:: toml

        .. code-block:: toml

            [pytest]
            junit_family = "xunit2"

    .. tab:: ini

        .. code-block:: ini

            [pytest]
            junit_family = xunit2


.. confval:: junit_log_passing_tests

    .. versionadded:: 4.6

    If ``junit_logging != "no"``, configures if the captured output should be written
    to the JUnit XML file for **passing** tests. Default is ``True``.

    .. tab:: toml

        .. code-block:: toml

            [pytest]
            junit_log_passing_tests = false

    .. tab:: ini

        .. code-block:: ini

            [pytest]
            junit_log_passing_tests = False


.. confval:: junit_logging

    .. versionadded:: 3.5
    .. versionchanged:: 5.4
        ``log``, ``all``, ``out-err`` options added.

    Configures if captured output should be written to the JUnit XML file. Valid values are:

    * ``log``: write only ``logging`` captured output.
    * ``system-out``: write captured ``stdout`` contents.
    * ``system-err``: write captured ``stderr`` contents.
    * ``out-err``: write both captured ``stdout`` and ``stderr`` contents.
    * ``all``: write captured ``logging``, ``stdout`` and ``stderr`` contents.
    * ``no`` (the default): no captured output is written.

    .. tab:: toml

        .. code-block:: toml

            [pytest]
            junit_logging = "system-out"

            junit_suite_name = "my_suite"

    .. tab:: ini

        .. code-block:: ini

            [pytest]
            junit_suite_name = my_suite

.. confval:: log_auto_indent

    Allow selective auto-indentation of multiline log messages.

    Supports command line option ``--log-auto-indent [value]``
    and config option ``log_auto_indent = [value]`` to set the
    auto-indentation behavior for all logging.

    ``[value]`` can be:
        * True or "On" - Dynamically auto-indent multiline log messages
        * False or "Off" or 0 - Do not auto-indent multiline log messages (the default behavior)
        * [positive integer] - auto-indent multiline log messages by [value] spaces

    .. tab:: toml

        .. code-block:: toml

            [pytest]
            log_auto_indent = false

    .. tab:: ini

        .. code-block:: ini

            [pytest]
            log_auto_indent = false

    Supports passing kwarg ``extra={"auto_indent": [value]}`` to
    calls to ``logging.log()`` to specify auto-indentation behavior for
    a specific entry in the log. ``extra`` kwarg overrides the value specified
    on the command line or in the config.

    When the :confval:`strict_markers` configuration option is set,
    only known markers - defined in code by core pytest or some plugin - are allowed.

    You can list additional markers in this setting to add them to the whitelist,
    in which case you probably want to set :confval:`strict_markers` to ``true``
    to avoid future regressions:

    .. tab:: toml

        .. code-block:: toml

            [pytest]
            addopts = ["--strict-markers"]
            markers = ["slow", "serial"]

    .. tab:: ini

        .. code-block:: ini

            [pytest]
            strict_markers = true
            markers =
                slow
                serial


.. confval:: minversion

   Specifies a minimal pytest version required for running tests.

   .. tab:: toml

       .. code-block:: toml

            [pytest]
            minversion = 3.0  # will fail if we run with pytest-2.8

   .. tab:: ini

       .. code-block:: ini

            [pytest]
            minversion = 3.0  # will fail if we run with pytest-2.8


.. confval:: norecursedirs

   Set the directory basename patterns to avoid when recursing
   for test discovery.  The individual (fnmatch-style) patterns are
   applied to the basename of a directory to decide if to recurse into it.
   Pattern matching characters::

        *       matches everything
        ?       matches any single character
        [seq]   matches any character in seq
        [!seq]  matches any char not in seq

   Default patterns are ``'*.egg'``, ``'.*'``, ``'_darcs'``, ``'build'``,
   ``'CVS'``, ``'dist'``, ``'node_modules'``, ``'venv'``, ``'{arch}'``.
   Setting a ``norecursedirs`` replaces the default.  Here is an example of
   how to avoid certain directories:

   .. tab:: toml

       .. code-block:: toml

            [pytest]
            norecursedirs = [".svn", "_build", "tmp*"]

   .. tab:: ini

       .. code-block:: ini

            [pytest]
            norecursedirs = .svn _build tmp*

   This would tell ``pytest`` to not look into typical subversion or
   sphinx-build directories or into any ``tmp`` prefixed directory.

   Additionally, ``pytest`` will attempt to intelligently identify and ignore
   a virtualenv.  Any directory deemed to be the root of a virtual environment
   will not be considered during test collection unless
   ``--collect-in-virtualenv`` is given.  Note also that ``norecursedirs``
   takes precedence over ``--collect-in-virtualenv``; e.g. if you intend to
   run tests in a virtualenv with a base directory that matches ``'.*'`` you
   *must* override ``norecursedirs`` in addition to using the
   ``--collect-in-virtualenv`` flag.


.. confval:: python_classes

   One or more name prefixes or glob-style patterns determining which classes
   are considered for test collection. Search for multiple glob patterns by
   adding a space between patterns. By default, pytest will consider any
   class prefixed with ``Test`` as a test collection.  Here is an example of how
   to collect tests from classes that end in ``Suite``:

   .. tab:: toml

       .. code-block:: toml

            [pytest]
            python_classes = ["*Suite"]

   .. tab:: ini

       .. code-block:: ini

            [pytest]
            python_classes = *Suite

   Note that ``unittest.TestCase`` derived classes are always collected
   regardless of this option, as ``unittest``'s own collection framework is used
   to collect those tests.


.. confval:: python_files

   One or more Glob-style file patterns determining which python files
   are considered as test modules. Search for multiple glob patterns by
   adding a space between patterns:

   .. tab:: toml

       .. code-block:: toml

            [pytest]
            python_files = ["test_*.py", "check_*.py", "example_*.py"]

   .. tab:: ini

       .. code-block:: ini

            [pytest]
            python_files = test_*.py check_*.py example_*.py

       Or one per line:

       .. code-block:: ini

            [pytest]
            python_files =
                test_*.py
                check_*.py
                example_*.py

   By default, files matching ``test_*.py`` and ``*_test.py`` will be considered
   test modules.


.. confval:: python_functions

   One or more name prefixes or glob-patterns determining which test functions
   and methods are considered tests. Search for multiple glob patterns by
   adding a space between patterns. By default, pytest will consider any
   function prefixed with ``test`` as a test.  Here is an example of how
   to collect test functions and methods that end in ``_test``:

   .. tab:: toml

       .. code-block:: toml

            [pytest]
            python_functions = ["*_test"]

   .. tab:: ini

       .. code-block:: ini

            [pytest]
            python_functions = *_test

   Note that this has no effect on methods that live on a ``unittest.TestCase``
   derived class, as ``unittest``'s own collection framework is used
   to collect those tests.

   See :ref:`change naming conventions` for more detailed examples.


.. confval:: pythonpath

   Sets list of directories that should be added to the python search path.
   Directories will be added to the head of :data:`sys.path`.
   Similar to the :envvar:`PYTHONPATH` environment variable, the directories will be
   included in where Python will look for imported modules.
   Paths are relative to the :ref:`rootdir <rootdir>` directory.
   Directories remain in path for the duration of the test session.

   .. tab:: toml

       .. code-block:: toml

            [pytest]
            pythonpath = ["src1", "src2"]

   .. tab:: ini

       .. code-block:: ini

            [pytest]
            pythonpath = src1 src2


.. confval:: required_plugins

   A space separated list of plugins that must be present for pytest to run.
   Plugins can be listed with or without version specifiers directly following
   their name. Whitespace between different version specifiers is not allowed.
   If any one of the plugins is not found, emit an error.

   .. tab:: toml

       .. code-block:: toml

           [pytest]
           required_plugins = ["pytest-django>=3.0.0,<4.0.0", "pytest-html", "pytest-xdist>=1.0.0"]

   .. tab:: ini

       .. code-block:: ini

           [pytest]
           required_plugins = pytest-django>=3.0.0,<4.0.0 pytest-html pytest-xdist>=1.0.0


.. confval:: strict

    If set to ``true``, enable "strict mode", which enables the following options:

    * :confval:`strict_config`
    * :confval:`strict_markers`
    * :confval:`strict_parametrization_ids`
    * :confval:`strict_xfail`

    Plugins may also enable their own strictness options.

    If you explicitly set an individual strictness option, it takes precedence over ``strict``.

    .. note::
        If pytest adds new strictness options in the future, they will also be enabled in strict mode.
        Therefore, you should only enable strict mode if you use a pinned/locked version of pytest,
        or if you want to proactively adopt new strictness options as they are added.

    .. tab:: toml

        .. code-block:: toml

            [pytest]
            strict = true

    .. tab:: ini

        .. code-block:: ini

            [pytest]
            strict = true

    .. versionadded:: 9.0


.. confval:: strict_config

    If set to ``true``, any warnings encountered while parsing the ``pytest`` section of the configuration file will raise errors.

    .. tab:: toml

        .. code-block:: toml

            [pytest]
            strict_config = true

    .. tab:: ini

        .. code-block:: ini

            [pytest]
            strict_config = true

    You can also enable this option via the :confval:`strict` option.


.. confval:: strict_markers

    If set to ``true``, markers not registered in the ``markers`` section of the configuration file will raise errors.

    .. tab:: toml

        .. code-block:: toml

            [pytest]
            strict_markers = true

    .. tab:: ini

        .. code-block:: ini

            [pytest]
            strict_markers = true

    You can also enable this option via the :confval:`strict` option.


.. confval:: strict_parametrization_ids

    If set to ``true``, pytest emits an error if it detects non-unique parameter set IDs.

    If not set (the default), pytest automatically handles this by adding `0`, `1`, ... to duplicate IDs,
    making them unique.

    .. tab:: toml

        .. code-block:: toml

            [pytest]
            strict_parametrization_ids = true

    .. tab:: ini

        .. code-block:: ini

            [pytest]
            strict_parametrization_ids = true

    You can also enable this option via the :confval:`strict` option.

    For example,

    .. code-block:: python

        import pytest


        @pytest.mark.parametrize("letter", ["a", "a"])
        def test_letter_is_ascii(letter):
            assert letter.isascii()

    will emit an error because both cases (parameter sets) have the same auto-generated ID "a".

    To fix the error, if you decide to keep the duplicates, explicitly assign unique IDs:

    .. code-block:: python

        import pytest


        @pytest.mark.parametrize("letter", ["a", "a"], ids=["a0", "a1"])
        def test_letter_is_ascii(letter):
            assert letter.isascii()

    See :func:`parametrize <pytest.Metafunc.parametrize>` and :func:`pytest.param` for other ways to set IDs.


.. confval:: strict_xfail

    If set to ``true``, tests marked with ``@pytest.mark.xfail`` that actually succeed will by default fail the
    test suite.
    For more information, see :ref:`xfail strict tutorial`.

    .. tab:: toml

        .. code-block:: toml

            [pytest]
            strict_xfail = true

    .. tab:: ini

        .. code-block:: ini

            [pytest]
            strict_xfail = true

    You can also enable this option via the :confval:`strict` option.

    .. versionchanged:: 9.0
        Renamed from ``xfail_strict`` to ``strict_xfail``.
        ``xfail_strict`` is accepted as an alias for ``strict_xfail``.


.. confval:: testpaths

   Sets list of directories that should be searched for tests when
   no specific directories, files or test ids are given in the command line when
   executing pytest from the :ref:`rootdir <rootdir>` directory.
   File system paths may use shell-style wildcards, including the recursive
   ``**`` pattern.

   Useful when all project tests are in a known location to speed up
   test collection and to avoid picking up undesired tests by accident.

   .. tab:: toml

       .. code-block:: toml

            [pytest]
            testpaths = ["testing", "doc"]

   .. tab:: ini

       .. code-block:: ini

            [pytest]
            testpaths = testing doc

   This configuration means that executing:

   .. code-block:: console

       pytest

   has the same practical effects as executing:

   .. code-block:: console

       pytest testing doc

.. confval:: tmp_path_retention_count

   How many sessions should we keep the `tmp_path` directories,
   according to `tmp_path_retention_policy`.

   .. tab:: toml

       .. code-block:: toml

            [pytest]
            tmp_path_retention_count = 3

   .. tab:: ini

       .. code-block:: ini

            [pytest]
            tmp_path_retention_count = 3

   Default: ``3``


.. confval:: tmp_path_retention_policy



   Controls which directories created by the `tmp_path` fixture are kept around,
   based on test outcome.

    * `all`: retains directories for all tests, regardless of the outcome.
    * `failed`: retains directories only for tests with outcome `error` or `failed`.
    * `none`: directories are always removed after each test ends, regardless of the outcome.

   .. tab:: toml

       .. code-block:: toml

            [pytest]
            tmp_path_retention_policy = "all"

   .. tab:: ini

       .. code-block:: ini

            [pytest]
            tmp_path_retention_policy = all

   Default: ``all``


.. confval:: truncation_limit_chars

   Controls maximum number of characters to truncate assertion message contents.

   Setting value to ``0`` disables the character limit for truncation.

   .. tab:: toml

       .. code-block:: toml

            [pytest]
            truncation_limit_chars = 640

   .. tab:: ini

       .. code-block:: ini

            [pytest]
            truncation_limit_chars = 640

   pytest truncates the assert messages to a certain limit by default to prevent comparison with large data to overload the console output.

   Default: ``640``

   .. note::

        If pytest detects it is :ref:`running on CI <ci-pipelines>`, truncation is disabled automatically.


.. confval:: truncation_limit_lines

   Controls maximum number of linesto truncate assertion message contents.

   Setting value to ``0`` disables the lines limit for truncation.

   .. tab:: toml

       .. code-block:: toml

            [pytest]
            truncation_limit_lines = 8

   .. tab:: ini

       .. code-block:: ini

            [pytest]
            truncation_limit_lines = 8

   pytest truncates the assert messages to a certain limit by default to prevent comparison with large data to overload the console output.

   Default: ``8``

   .. note::

        If pytest detects it is :ref:`running on CI <ci-pipelines>`, truncation is disabled automatically.


.. confval:: usefixtures

    List of fixtures that will be applied to all test functions; this is semantically the same to apply
    the ``@pytest.mark.usefixtures`` marker to all test functions.


    .. tab:: toml

        .. code-block:: toml

            [pytest]
            usefixtures = ["clean_db"]

    .. tab:: ini

        .. code-block:: ini

            [pytest]
            usefixtures =
                clean_db


.. confval:: verbosity_assertions

    Set a verbosity level specifically for assertion related output, overriding the application wide level.

    .. tab:: toml

        .. code-block:: toml

            [pytest]
            verbosity_assertions = 2

    .. tab:: ini

        .. code-block:: ini

            [pytest]
            verbosity_assertions = 2

    If not set, defaults to application wide verbosity level (via the ``-v`` command-line option). A special value of
    ``"auto"`` can be used to explicitly use the global verbosity level.


.. confval:: verbosity_subtests

    Set the verbosity level specifically for **passed** subtests.

    .. tab:: toml

        .. code-block:: toml

            [pytest]
            verbosity_subtests = 1

    .. tab:: ini

        .. code-block:: ini

            [pytest]
            verbosity_subtests = 1

    A value of ``1`` or higher will show output for **passed** subtests (**failed** subtests are always reported).
    Passed subtests output can be suppressed with the value ``0``, which overwrites the ``-v`` command-line option.

    If not set, defaults to application wide verbosity level (via the ``-v`` command-line option). A special value of
    ``"auto"`` can be used to explicitly use the global verbosity level.

    See also: :ref:`subtests`.


.. confval:: verbosity_test_cases

    Set a verbosity level specifically for test case execution related output, overriding the application wide level.

    .. tab:: toml

        .. code-block:: toml

            [pytest]
            verbosity_test_cases = 2

    .. tab:: ini

        .. code-block:: ini

            [pytest]
            verbosity_test_cases = 2

    If not set, defaults to application wide verbosity level (via the ``-v`` command-line option). A special value of
    ``"auto"`` can be used to explicitly use the global verbosity level.


.. _`command-line-flags`:

Command-line Flags
------------------

All the command-line flags can be obtained by running ``pytest --help``::

    $ pytest --help
    usage: pytest [options] [file_or_dir] [file_or_dir] [...]

    positional arguments:
      file_or_dir

    general:
      -k EXPRESSION         Only run tests which match the given substring
                            expression. An expression is a Python evaluable
                            expression where all names are substring-matched
                            against test names and their parent classes.
                            Example: -k 'test_method or test_other' matches all
                            test functions and classes whose name contains
                            'test_method' or 'test_other', while -k 'not
                            test_method' matches those that don't contain
                            'test_method' in their names. -k 'not test_method
                            and not test_other' will eliminate the matches.
                            Additionally keywords are matched to classes and
                            functions containing extra names in their
                            'extra_keyword_matches' set, as well as functions
                            which have names assigned directly to them. The
                            matching is case-insensitive.
      -m MARKEXPR           Only run tests matching given mark expression. For
                            example: -m 'mark1 and not mark2'.
      --markers             show markers (builtin, plugin and per-project ones).
      -x, --exitfirst       Exit instantly on first error or failed test
      --maxfail=num         Exit after first num failures or errors
      --strict-config       Enables the strict_config option
      --strict-markers      Enables the strict_markers option
      --strict              Enables the strict option
      --fixtures, --funcargs
                            Show available fixtures, sorted by plugin appearance
                            (fixtures with leading '_' are only shown with '-v')
      --fixtures-per-test   Show fixtures per test
      --pdb                 Start the interactive Python debugger on errors or
                            KeyboardInterrupt
      --pdbcls=modulename:classname
                            Specify a custom interactive Python debugger for use
                            with --pdb.For example:
                            --pdbcls=IPython.terminal.debugger:TerminalPdb
      --trace               Immediately break when running each test
      --capture=method      Per-test capturing method: one of fd|sys|no|tee-sys
      -s                    Shortcut for --capture=no
      --runxfail            Report the results of xfail tests as if they were
                            not marked
      --lf, --last-failed   Rerun only the tests that failed at the last run (or
                            all if none failed)
      --ff, --failed-first  Run all tests, but run the last failures first. This
                            may re-order tests and thus lead to repeated fixture
                            setup/teardown.
      --nf, --new-first     Run tests from new files first, then the rest of the
                            tests sorted by file mtime
      --cache-show=[CACHESHOW]
                            Show cache contents, don't perform collection or
                            tests. Optional argument: glob (default: '*').
      --cache-clear         Remove all cache contents at start of test run
      --lfnf, --last-failed-no-failures={all,none}
                            With ``--lf``, determines whether to execute tests
                            when there are no previously (known) failures or
                            when no cached ``lastfailed`` data was found.
                            ``all`` (the default) runs the full test suite
                            again. ``none`` just emits a message about no known
                            failures and exits successfully.
      --sw, --stepwise      Exit on test failure and continue from last failing
                            test next time
      --sw-skip, --stepwise-skip
                            Ignore the first failing test but stop on the next
                            failing test. Implicitly enables --stepwise.
