Correlate output with specific test run using a plugin?

[eleanorjboyd]

Hello again!

I had a quick question regarding output from tests, for context I work on python testing support in vscode. I have gotten asks on the vscode-python extension like here to correlate output to a given test so I can display this output in the error pop up about the test. By output I mean print statements that are called during the run of this test and any logging based on the level the user defines.

I looked through the repo and tried a few things out with the plugin I use to collect pytest information but am currently seeing no way to connect output to a given test run when pytest is called to run a group of tests. For example, if the user selects to run 4 tests, and so I call pytest run once on all 4 of those, I wasn't seeing a clear way to separate output between each test with 100% confidence.

Is this correct or is there a way to correlate output to a test when using a pytest plugin? I am also open to ideas if you think of another way this could potentially be achieved.

Thank you as always!

I'm assuming this is some LLM output. This is not helpful, please avoid in the future.

It's unclear what the ask is, the default output capture assigns the output to tests already

[eleanorjboyd]

Hi! Could you give me an example of how it assigns the output per test? I see all the output like printing and logging being printed to stdout with no correlation/ knowledge of the test that ran it.

Assuming you have the TestReport from the hook, the captured output is available in report.capstderr and report.capstdout

...and don't forget report.caplog

Curious, what plugin you are getting your info from that is not providing you what you need?

[eleanorjboyd]

Hi everyone! Thank you for your answers and input! I think my settings were configured incorrectly based on some historic code but once I got those fixed and check out report.capstdout and report.caplog that is exactly what I'm looking for.

Sorry to bother you all and thank you for your quick replies!

if anyone would like to follow along on this feature add in vscode, the following issue will track progress: microsoft/vscode-python#22594. Thank you again and sorry for the silly question!
