This example shows how to generate a simple HTML test report after running a series of API tests. For more advanced reporting, consider using `pytest-html`.
Generating an HTML Report
We can collect the results of our API tests (e.g., test name, status, duration) in a list. After the tests run, we can iterate through this list to generate an HTML file with a summary table.
import datetime
# In a real test run, this data would be collected dynamically.
test_results = [
{'name': 'Test Get All Posts', 'status': 'PASS', 'duration': 0.82},
{'name': 'Test Get Single Post', 'status': 'PASS', 'duration': 0.31},
{'name': 'Test Create New Post', 'status': 'FAIL', 'duration': 1.15},
{'name': 'Test Update Post', 'status': 'PASS', 'duration': 0.76},
]
def generate_html_report(results):
report_html = """
<html>
<head>

rows_html = ""
for result in results:
status_class = 'pass' if result['status'] == 'PASS' else 'fail'
rows_html += f"""

<td class="{status_class}">{result['status']}</td>
<td>{result['duration']}</td>
</tr>"""
final_report = report_html.format(
table_rows=rows_html
)
return final_report
# Generate the report
html_content = generate_html_report(test_results)
# In a real script, you would save this to a file:
# with open('test_report.html', 'w') as f:
# f.write(html_content)
print("HTML report generated (content below):")
