User's API

Install an adapter that suits your test framework. You can then add more information to the report by using functions from the allure module.

Decorators API

Use these functions as decorators of your own functions, e.g.:

import allure

@allure.title("My test")
def test_fn():
    pass

The full list of decorators:

• allure.title
• allure.description
• allure.description_html
• allure.label
• allure.severity
• allure.epic
• allure.feature
• allure.story
• allure.suite
• allure.parent_suite
• allure.sub_suite
• allure.tag
• allure.id
• allure.manual
• allure.link
• allure.issue
• allure.testcase
• allure.step

Refer to the adapter's documentation for the information about what decorators are supported and what functions they can be applied to.

Runtime API

Most of the functions of Runtime API can be accessed via allure.dynamic.*. Call them at runtime from your code.

The full list includes:

• allure.dynamic.title
• allure.dynamic.description
• allure.dynamic.description_html
• allure.dynamic.label
• allure.dynamic.severity
• allure.dynamic.epic
• allure.dynamic.feature
• allure.dynamic.story
• allure.dynamic.suite
• allure.dynamic.parent_suite
• allure.dynamic.sub_suite
• allure.dynamic.tag
• allure.dynamic.id
• allure.dynamic.manual
• allure.dynamic.link
• allure.dynamic.issue
• allure.dynamic.testcase
• allure.dynamic.parameter
• allure.attach
• allure.attach.file
• allure.step

Refer to the adapter's documentation for the information about what functions are supported and where you can use them.

Adapter API

You may use allure-pytest-commons to build your own Allure adapter. The key elements of the corresponding API are:

• allure_python_commons.model2: the object model of Allure Report.
• allure_python_commons.logger: classes that are used to emit Allure Report objects (tests, containers, attachments):
  • AllureFileLogger: emits to the file system.
  • AllureMemoryLogger: collects the objects in memory. Useful for testing.
• allure_python_commons.lifecycle.AllureLifecycle: an implementation of Allure lifecycle that doesn't isolate the state between threads.
• allure_python_commons.reporter.AllureReporter: an implementation of Allure lifecycle that supports some multithreaded scenarios.

A new version of the API is likely to be released in the future as we need a decent support for multithreaded and async-based concurrency (see here and here).
