pytest captures log messages of level ``WARNING`` or above automatically and displays them in their own section
|
|
for each failed test in the same manner as captured stdout and stderr.
|
|
|
|
Running without options::
|
|
|
|
pytest
|
|
|
|
Shows failed tests like so::
|
|
|
|
----------------------- Captured stdlog call ----------------------
|
|
test_reporting.py 26 WARNING text going to logger
|
|
----------------------- Captured stdout call ----------------------
|
|
text going to stdout
|
|
----------------------- Captured stderr call ----------------------
|
|
text going to stderr
|
|
==================== 2 failed in 0.02 seconds =====================
|
|
|
|
By default each captured log message shows the module, line number, log level
|
|
and message.
|
|
|
|
If desired the log and date format can be specified to
|
|
anything that the logging module supports by passing specific formatting options::
|
|
|
|
pytest --log-format="%(asctime)s %(levelname)s %(message)s" \
|
|
--log-date-format="%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"
|
|
|
|
Shows failed tests like so::
|
|
|
|
----------------------- Captured stdlog call ----------------------
|
|
2010-04-10 14:48:44 WARNING text going to logger
|
|
----------------------- Captured stdout call ----------------------
|
|
text going to stdout
|
|
----------------------- Captured stderr call ----------------------
|
|
text going to stderr
|
|
==================== 2 failed in 0.02 seconds =====================
|
|
|
|
These options can also be customized through ``pytest.ini`` file:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: ini
|
|
|
|
[pytest]
|
|
log_format = %(asctime)s %(levelname)s %(message)s
|
|
log_date_format = %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S
|
|
|
|
Further it is possible to disable reporting of captured content (stdout,
|
|
stderr and logs) on failed tests completely with::
|
|
|
|
pytest --show-capture=no
|
|
|
|
|
|
caplog fixture
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Inside tests it is possible to change the log level for the captured log
|
|
messages. This is supported by the ``caplog`` fixture::
|
|
|
|
def test_foo(caplog):
|
|
caplog.set_level(logging.INFO)
|
|
pass
|
|
|
|
By default the level is set on the root logger,
|
|
however as a convenience it is also possible to set the log level of any
|
|
logger::
|
|
|
|
def test_foo(caplog):
|
|
caplog.set_level(logging.CRITICAL, logger='root.baz')
|
|
pass
|
|
|
|
The log levels set are restored automatically at the end of the test.
|
|
|
|
It is also possible to use a context manager to temporarily change the log
|
|
level inside a ``with`` block::
|
|
|
|
def test_bar(caplog):
|
|
with caplog.at_level(logging.INFO):
|
|
pass
|
|
|
|
Again, by default the level of the root logger is affected but the level of any
|
|
logger can be changed instead with::
|
|
|
|
def test_bar(caplog):
|
|
with caplog.at_level(logging.CRITICAL, logger='root.baz'):
|
|
pass
|
|
|
|
Lastly all the logs sent to the logger during the test run are made available on
|
|
the fixture in the form of both the ``logging.LogRecord`` instances and the final log text.
|
|
This is useful for when you want to assert on the contents of a message::
|
|
|
|
def test_baz(caplog):
|
|
func_under_test()
|
|
for record in caplog.records:
|
|
assert record.levelname != 'CRITICAL'
|
|
assert 'wally' not in caplog.text
|
|
|
|
For all the available attributes of the log records see the
|
|
``logging.LogRecord`` class.
|
|
|
|
You can also resort to ``record_tuples`` if all you want to do is to ensure,
|
|
that certain messages have been logged under a given logger name with a given
|
|
severity and message::
|
|
|
|
def test_foo(caplog):
|
|
logging.getLogger().info('boo %s', 'arg')
|
|
|
|
assert caplog.record_tuples == [
|
|
('root', logging.INFO, 'boo arg'),
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
You can call ``caplog.clear()`` to reset the captured log records in a test::
|
|
|
|
def test_something_with_clearing_records(caplog):
|
|
some_method_that_creates_log_records()
|
|
caplog.clear()
|
|
your_test_method()
|
|
assert ['Foo'] == [rec.message for rec in caplog.records]
|
|
|
|
|
|
The ``caplop.records`` attribute contains records from the current stage only, so
|
|
inside the ``setup`` phase it contains only setup logs, same with the ``call`` and
|
|
``teardown`` phases.
|
|
|
|
To access logs from other stages, use the ``caplog.get_records(when)`` method. As an example,
|
|
if you want to make sure that tests which use a certain fixture never log any warnings, you can inspect
|
|
the records for the ``setup`` and ``call`` stages during teardown like so:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
|
|
@pytest.fixture
|
|
def window(caplog):
|
|
window = create_window()
|
|
yield window
|
|
for when in ('setup', 'call'):
|
|
messages = [x.message for x in caplog.get_records(when) if x.level == logging.WARNING]
|
|
if messages:
|
|
pytest.fail('warning messages encountered during testing: {}'.format(messages))
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The full API is available at :class:`_pytest.logging.LogCaptureFixture`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. _live_logs:
|
|
|
|
Live Logs
|
|
^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
By setting the :confval:`log_cli` configuration option to ``true``, pytest will output
|
|
logging records as they are emitted directly into the console.
|
|
|
|
You can specify the logging level for which log records with equal or higher
|
|
level are printed to the console by passing ``--log-cli-level``. This setting
|
|
accepts the logging level names as seen in python's documentation or an integer
|
|
as the logging level num.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, you can also specify ``--log-cli-format`` and
|
|
``--log-cli-date-format`` which mirror and default to ``--log-format`` and
|
|
``--log-date-format`` if not provided, but are applied only to the console
|
|
logging handler.
|
|
|
|
All of the CLI log options can also be set in the configuration INI file. The
|
|
option names are:
|
|
|
|
* ``log_cli_level``
|
|
* ``log_cli_format``
|
|
* ``log_cli_date_format``
|
|
|
|
If you need to record the whole test suite logging calls to a file, you can pass
|
|
``--log-file=/path/to/log/file``. This log file is opened in write mode which
|
|
means that it will be overwritten at each run tests session.
|
|
|
|
You can also specify the logging level for the log file by passing
|
|
``--log-file-level``. This setting accepts the logging level names as seen in
|
|
python's documentation(ie, uppercased level names) or an integer as the logging
|
|
level num.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, you can also specify ``--log-file-format`` and
|
|
``--log-file-date-format`` which are equal to ``--log-format`` and
|
|
``--log-date-format`` but are applied to the log file logging handler.
|
|
|
|
All of the log file options can also be set in the configuration INI file. The
|
|
option names are:
|
|
|
|
* ``log_file``
|
|
* ``log_file_level``
|
|
* ``log_file_format``
|
|
* ``log_file_date_format``

Release notes
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
This feature was introduced as a drop-in replacement for the `pytest-catchlog
|
|
<https://pypi.org/project/pytest-catchlog/>`_ plugin and they conflict
|
|
with each other. The backward compatibility API with ``pytest-capturelog``
|
|
has been dropped when this feature was introduced, so if for that reason you
|
|
still need ``pytest-catchlog`` you can disable the internal feature by
|
|
adding to your ``pytest.ini``:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: ini
|
|
|
|
[pytest]
|
|
addopts=-p no:logging
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. _log_changes_3_4:
|
|
|
|
Incompatible changes in pytest 3.4
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
This feature was introduced in ``3.3`` and some **incompatible changes** have been
|
|
made in ``3.4`` after community feedback:
|
|
|
|
* Log levels are no longer changed unless explicitly requested by the :confval:`log_level` configuration
|
|
or ``--log-level`` command-line options. This allows users to configure logger objects themselves.
|
|
* :ref:`Live Logs <live_logs>` is now disabled by default and can be enabled setting the
|
|
:confval:`log_cli` configuration option to ``true``. When enabled, the verbosity is increased so logging for each
|
|
test is visible.
|
|
* :ref:`Live Logs <live_logs>` are now sent to ``sys.stdout`` and no longer require the ``-s`` command-line option
|
|
to work.
|
|
|
|
If you want to partially restore the logging behavior of version ``3.3``, you can add this options to your ``ini``
|
|
file:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: ini
|
|
|
|
[pytest]
|
|
log_cli=true
|
|
log_level=NOTSET
|
|
|
|

|
|
issue `#3013 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3013>`_.
