Customize test id on the terminal report

[fontealpina]

Running pytest with -v option, I am obtaining an output of this type:
ToolTest/test/bug_001/test.py::TestBug001::test_bug_001 <- test.py PASSED
I would like to customize the test id, e.g. removing <- test.py to get:
ToolTest/test/bug_001/test.py::TestBug001::test_bug_001 PASSED

To do this, I tried to write a plugin with the hook:
def pytest_runtest_logstart(nodeid, location):
but seems that my hook is called after the test id has already been printed on the terminal.
So I was wondering if there is a way to do this?

Thanks

Hi @fontealpina,

This is the code responsible for adding that <-:

pytest/_pytest/terminal.py

Lines 507 to 512 in 0d96a5b

	if fspath:
	res = mkrel(nodeid).replace("::()", "") # parens-normalization
	if nodeid.split("::")[0] != fspath.replace("\\", nodes.SEP):
	res += " <- " + self.startdir.bestrelpath(fspath)
	else:
	res = "[location]"

So it seems the collected node and the actual path are different, which might indicate some other problem or can be fixed in some other way.

Can you provide a reproducible example?

Hi,
actually I added a plugin to modify the root dir path:

def pytest_configure(config):     
     config.rootdir = py.path.local(os.getcwd())

My target would be use the cwd as rootdir instead of using the common ancestor directory.
I tried this solution and seems to work apart the <- test.py shown in the terminal.
Maybe can I get this in a different way?
Thanks again

Maybe can I get this in a different way?

Indeed, that's #1642 and #3127. 😉

I'm closing this for now, feel free to ask any follow up questions though.
