pytest-sugar

pytest-sugar ✨

This plugin extends pytest by showing failures and errors instantly, adding a progress bar, improving the test results, and making the output look better.

Installation

To install pytest-sugar:

python -m pip install pytest-sugar

Once installed, the plugin is activated automatically. Run your tests normally:

pytest

If you would like more detailed output (one test per line), then you may use the verbose option:

pytest --verbose

If you would like to run tests without pytest-sugar, use:

pytest -p no:sugar

How to contribute 👷‍♂️

Make sure to read our Code of Conduct. You can get started modifying the codebase with the following commands. Alternatively, you can try Github Codespaces (click the badge above). Push the changes to your repository & create a pull request.

There are two ways of running tests. We have our proper tests:

pytest .

There are also fake tests that can be used to visualise the output:

pytest faketests

When submitting a pull request, please add a RELEASE.md file in the root of the project that contains the release type (major, minor, patch) and a summary of the changes that will be used as the release changelog entry. For example:
