PyTest: How to get list of parametrized arguments from within the function


Given a test function that has both fixtures and parametrized arguments, how to get a dict of parametrized arguments together with their values? I can access serialized list of values with request.node.name or os.environ.get('PYTEST_CURRENT_TEST'), but this doesn't give the corresponding names of the parameters. PyTest prints them, but I need to access them in a custom error-handling hook.

@pytest.mark.parametrize('a', [False, True])
@pytest.mark.parametrize('b', [1, 2])
def test_foo(request, fixt_y, fixt_z, a, b):  # fixt_y/z are some fixtures
    print(request.node.name)  # e.g., test_foo[0-1-False]
    print(os.environ.get('PYTEST_CURRENT_TEST'))  # e.g., test_file.py::test_foo[0-1-False] (call)

What I want is to somehow get {'a': False, 'b': 1} inside test_foo.


Solution

  • I am not sure if there is an easier method, but this works

    @pytest.mark.parametrize('a', [False, True])
    @pytest.mark.parametrize('b', [1, 2])
    def test_foo(request, fixt_y, fixt_z, a, b):  # fixt_y/z are some fixtures
        mark_param_names = [
            mark.args[0]
            for mark in reversed(request.node.keywords["pytestmark"])
        ]
        # the params dict below contains the params names and their values
        params = {p: request.getfixturevalue(p) for p in mark_param_names}
        print(request.node.name)  # e.g., test_foo[0-1-False]
        print(os.environ.get('PYTEST_CURRENT_TEST'))  # e.g., test_file.py::test_foo[0-1-False] (call)
