Is there a way to know when pytest-html create the actual html file?

I would like to know when the html and asset folder are created, after running a test via pytest. Is there a way to know when the file is actually created? I have tried to use breakpoints in pycharm but I can't get the time when the file is actually created.

The whole point of knowing when the file is created, is because I want to copy it in a zip file.

Solution

  • The HTML report is written in the pytest_sessionfinish hookimpl:

    def pytest_sessionfinish(self, session):
    report_content = self._generate_report(session)
    self._save_report(report_content)

    Source.

    If you want to manipulate the report file in your own test run, you can do that by adding your own pytest_sessionfinish hookimpl, e.g.

    import pathlib
import zipfile


def pytest_sessionfinish(session):
    htmlfile = session.config.getoption('htmlpath')
    if htmlfile is None:  # html report not wanted by user
        return
    htmlzip = pathlib.Path(htmlfile).with_suffix('.zip')
    with zipfile.ZipFile(htmlzip, 'w') as zip:
        zip.write(htmlfile)
        zip.write('assets/style.css')
