Set up test reporting with pytest - AWS CodeBuild

Set up test reporting with pytest

The following procedure demonstrates how to set up test reporting in AWS CodeBuild with the pytest testing framework.

The procedure requires the following prerequisites:

  • You have an existing CodeBuild project.

  • Your project is a Python project that is set up to use the pytest testing framework.

Add the following entry to either the build or post_build phase of your buildspec.yml file. This code automatically discovers tests in the current directory and exports the test reports to the file specified by <test report directory>/<report filename>. The report uses the JunitXml format.

      - python -m pytest --junitxml=<test report directory>/<report filename>

In your buildspec.yml file, add/update the following sections.

version: 0.2

  install:
    runtime-versions:
      python: 3.7
    commands:
      - pip3 install pytest
