Allure Pytest Default Results

0.1.4 verified Mon Apr 27 auth: no python

pip install allure-pytest-default-results

Common errors

error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'allure_pytest_default_results' ↓

cause The package is not installed or the environment is wrong.

fix

Run pip install allure-pytest-default-results and verify with pip list | grep allure.

error pytest: error: unrecognized arguments: --alluredir ↓

cause Missing `allure-pytest` dependency, not the default results plugin.

fix

Install allure-pytest separately: pip install allure-pytest.

Warnings

gotcha The plugin does NOT generate results for tests that are deselected by markers (`-m`) or keywords (`-k`) but were collected; it only handles tests that are completely not collected (e.g., due to `--run-no` or non-matching patterns). ↓

fix Ensure you understand collection vs. selection. Use `--co` (collect only) to verify which tests are collected.

gotcha If you have multiple conftest.py files with conflicting plugin registrations, the default results may not be generated. The plugin must be loaded before any test collection. ↓

fix Make sure the plugin is installed and registered (check `pytest --traceconfig` for `allure-pytest-default-results`).

Imports

wrong
```
import allure_default_results
```
correct
```
from allure_pytest_default_results import allure_default_results
```
The plugin is a pytest plugin; import the module directly to access helper functions if needed, but typically it auto-registers via conftest.

Quickstart

Basic usage: install and run pytest as usual; the plugin hooks into collection to generate 'unknown' results for skipped tests.

# conftest.py
import pytest
import allure
from allure_pytest_default_results import allure_default_results

# The plugin automatically generates default results for tests that are not executed.
# To see it in action, run pytest with filtered tests:
# pytest --alluredir=allure-results -k "not test_example"

def test_example():
    allure.attach("sample", name="test", attachment_type=allure.attachment_type.TEXT)
    assert True
