Generate GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) report:

pytest --md-report --md-report-flavor gfm examples/

GFM rendering result can be seen at here.

Config file examples

You can set configurations with pyproject.toml or setup.cfg as follows.

Example of pyproject.toml:	[tool.pytest.ini_options] md_report = true md_report_verbose = 0 md_report_color = "auto"
Example of setup.cfg:	[tool:pytest] md_report = True md_report_verbose = 0 md_report_color = auto

Add report to pull requests

You can add test reports to pull requests by GitHub actions workflow like the below:

name: md-report - pull request example

on:
  pull_request:

jobs:
  run-tests:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    permissions:
      contents: read
      pull-requests: write

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4

      - uses: actions/setup-python@v5
        with:
          python-version: '3.12'
          cache: pip

      - name: Install dependencies
        run: pip install --upgrade pytest-md-report

      - name: Run tests
        env:
          REPORT_OUTPUT: md_report.md
        shell: bash
        run: |
          echo "REPORT_FILE=${REPORT_OUTPUT}" >> "$GITHUB_ENV"
          pytest -v --md-report --md-report-flavor gfm --md-report-exclude-outcomes passed skipped xpassed --md-report-output "$REPORT_OUTPUT"

      - name: Render the report to the PR when tests fail
        uses: marocchino/sticky-pull-request-comment@v2
        if: failure()
        with:
          header: test-report
          recreate: true
          path: ${{ env.REPORT_FILE }}

Rendering result

Add report to pull requests: only failed tests

You can exclude specific test outcomes from the report by using the --md-report-exclude-outcomes option. The below example excludes passed, skipped, and xpassed test outcomes from the report and posts the report to the pull request when tests fail with verbose output.

name: md-report - pull request example

on:
  pull_request:

jobs:
  run-tests:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    permissions:
      contents: read
      pull-requests: write

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4

      - uses: actions/setup-python@v5
        with:
          python-version: '3.12'
          cache: pip

      - name: Install dependencies
        run: pip install --upgrade pytest-md-report

      - name: Run tests
        env:
          REPORT_OUTPUT: md_report.md
        shell: bash
        run: |
          echo "REPORT_FILE=${report_file}" >> "$GITHUB_ENV"
          pytest -v --md-report --md-report-flavor gfm --md-report-exclude-outcomes passed skipped xpassed --md-report-output "$report_file"

      - name: Render the report to the PR when tests fail
        uses: marocchino/sticky-pull-request-comment@v2
        if: failure()
        with:
          header: test-report
          recreate: true
          path: ${{ env.REPORT_FILE }}

Add reports to the job summary of the GitHub action workflow runs

The below example adds test reports to the job summary of the GitHub action workflow runs when tests fail.

name: md-report - job summary example

on:
  pull_request:

jobs:
  run-tests:
    runs-on: ${{ matrix.os }}
    strategy:
      fail-fast: false
      matrix:

          pytest -v --md-report --md-report-flavor gfm --md-report-exclude-outcomes passed skipped xpassed --md-report-output "$REPORT_OUTPUT"

      - name: Output reports to the job summary when tests fail
        if: failure()
        shell: bash
        run: |
          if [ -f "$REPORT_FILE" ]; then
            echo "<details><summary>Failed Test Report</summary>" >> $GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY
