Opinionated pytest plugin to make output slightly easier to read and errors easy to find and fix.

pytest-pretty's only dependencies are [rich](https://pypi.org/project/rich/) and pytest itself.

### Realtime error summary

One-line info on which test has failed while tests are running:

### Table of failures

A rich table of failures with both test line number and error line number:

This is extremely useful for navigating to failed tests without having to scroll through the entire test output.

### Prettier Summary of a Test Run

Including time taken for the test run:

## Installation

```sh

pip install -U pytest-pretty

```

## Usage with GitHub Actions

If you're using pytest-pretty (or indeed, just pytest) with GitHub Actions, it's worth adding the following to the top of your workflow `.yml` file:

```yaml

env:

  COLUMNS: 120

```

This will mean the pytest output is wider and easier to use, more importantly, it'll make the error summary table printed by pytest-pretty much easier to read, see [this](https://github.com/Textualize/rich/issues/2769) discussion for more details.

## `pytester_pretty` fixture

The `pytest_pretty` provides `pytester_pretty` fixture that work with modified version of output. It is designed to drop in places replacement of `pytester` fixture and uses it internaly.

So to use them it is required to set `pytest_plugins = "pytester"` as mentioned in pytest documentation
