pytest

To run and get details of all the executed test, you can simply write the following command on Terminal:

pytest -rA

To run and generate full HTML details report of all the executed test, you can simply write the following commands on Terminal:

But first install Pytest-HTML by writing the following command on Terminal

pip install pytest-html

Then write the following command on Terminal

pytest --html==YOUR_REPORT_FILE_NAME.html

To see the reports, open the Project window, and then right-click then click on refresh then right-click on StationReport.html to open the file on the default browser.

To run and generate Allure reports

In the project directory generate a folder to save allure reports; use the command below to automatically generate this

allure generate

This will create a folder named allure-report in your project directory

Now you can run your tests with pytest runner by specifying the directory path to save your allure report

pytest --alluredir=allure-report/

Once test execution completes, all the test results would get stored in allure-report directory

The allure report can be viewed in the browser with the command

allure serve allure-report/
