JUnit-XML based PyTest report

Using the terminal, you can create JUnit-XML based reports from PyTest and upload them to Test Management.

Executing a Test Case with PyTest

You can initiate a PyTest project with this git repository. Use this sample code to execute a Test Case.

import pytest

def test_div_zero_exception(record_property):
    """
    pytest.raises can assert that exceptions are raised (catching them)
    """
    with pytest.raises(ZeroDivisionError):
        record_property("id", "TC-52628")
        x = 1 / 0

def test_keyerror_details(record_property):
    """
    The raised exception can be referenced, and further inspected (or asserted)
    """
    record_property("id", "TC-52629")
    my_map = {"foo": "bar"}

    with pytest.raises(KeyError) as ke:
        baz = my_map["baz"]

    # Our KeyError should reference the missing key, "baz"
    assert "baz" in str(ke)

def test_approximate_matches(record_property):
    """
    pytest.approx can be used to assert "approximate" numerical equality
    (compare to "assertAlmostEqual" in unittest.TestCase)
    """
    record_property("id", "TC-52630")
    assert 0.1 + 0.2 == pytest.approx(0.3)

Create JUnit-XML test report with PyTest

PyTest by default generates a JUnit-XML report. Run the following command to execute test run and generate JUnit-XML report.

python3 -m pytest --junitxml=./test.xml

Sample JUnit-XML report generated from PyTest.

</testsuites>

Steps to upload the JUnit-XML test report

Open the project directory in the Terminal and load the variables.

export TEST_MANAGEMENT_API_TOKEN="*************28a42"
export TEST_MANAGEMENT_PROJECT_NAME="<Project Name>"
export JUNIT_XML_FILE_PATH="<Report Path>"
export TEST_RUN_NAME="<Test Run Name"
Note: You can get your TEST_MANAGEMENT_API_TOKEN from the Active API Key section in the Settings of BrowserStack Test Management.

Upload the JUnit-XML test report using curl command.

curl -k -X POST https://test-management.browserstack.com/api/v1/import/results/xml/junit \
-u $TEST_MANAGEMENT_API_TOKEN \
-F project_name="$TEST_MANAGEMENT_PROJECT_NAME" \
-F "file_path=@$JUNIT_XML_FILE_PATH" \
-F test_run_name="$TEST_RUN_NAME"
Note: Report upload will take a few seconds to about a minute depending on the size of your test-suite. Do not interrupt the cURL command until you get the response back.

You can also upload JUnit-XML test report with PyTest using CI/CD.

Access the test run report from the console generated URL

After your report is successfully uploaded, you see a message similar to the following in your terminal. This message also generates a URL with "url" parameter that you can use to access your automated test run.

{"message":"File uploaded successfully.","url":"https://test-management.browserstack.com/projects/<project id>/test-runs/<test run id>","success":true}

View test run report in Test Management

  1. Log in to the BrowserStack Test Management dashboard.
  2. Select the relevant project that has the test report uploaded.
  3. Click Test Runs.
  4. Open the Test Run generated from automation test exectution.
  5. You will find all the test cases with their respective results here.
