when I use pytest-html in docker (with gitlab-ci) it needs a lot of environment variables set, some holds token and passwords. I do not want to show in my jenkins report to a wider audience.

It seems they are collected in the very first test, so adding this to a test is working using the request autofixture:
# remove eventual gitlab settings
for k in list(request.config._metadata.keys()):
if re.search(r'^(GITLAB_|CI_)', k):
del request.config._metadata[k]
But I like to do it in conftest.py
enhancement featureHi, To reduce report file size, I'm trying to exclude any captured stdout/stderr/log output. I'm running tests with the following command:
pytest --html=report.html --self-contained-html --capture=no --show-capture=no tests/
With this I still get the Captured log call section for every test no matter if it pass or not.
So the question, how to not include any captured output to the report?
I see below error when i tried to run my py test
command tried : pytest test_blank_pages.py --html=report.html

Hi,
Could you please add a new feature that user could collapse the error or failure log? it's a little bit hard to find the useful information once there're hundreds of errors or failures in the report. For better understanding, I would like to give an example:

enhancementHi everyone.
I think it may make sense to create a release schedule. I looked at PyPI and it looks like we haven't released a new version of this plugin since March of this year.
While we're at it, perhaps it would make sense to automate the process as much as possible and create a RELEASING.rst doc similar to pytest's. This way users could be aware of what to expect in terms of feature delivery.
Thoughts @ssbarnea @BeyondEvil @davehunt ?
docs packaging InfrastructureI believe this would resolve #131 ... however it isn't really optimal, I didn't want to dig into the html logic, so instead just moved it to be post processed and tried to coerce the test result into what the existing code seemed to want.
bugI have some test runs that generate a lot of log entries. When opening the report is seems my browser is spending a lot of time presenting all these entries which are immediately collapsed right after.
If I change the behavior to have everything collapsed by default I can open/render the html report much faster.
What I have tested is essentially the same as adding a "collapsed" class here https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-html/blob/master/pytest_html/plugin.py#L140
I have no idea if this breaks other use-cases or if other changes are necessary. I also realize that everything related to the collapse functionality is currently in js. Regardless, if something could be done to generate everything collapsed and open the necessary stuff afterwards I believe performance would be a lot better.
Edit: I should mention I use self-contained reports.
In pytest.ini, I have :
addopts = --html $APPRENTI_MOTEUR_LOGS_DIR_TEST/$APPRENTI_MOTEUR_LOGS_HTML_NAME
The path of the html report takes the content of the environment variable into account.
But the page header does not :

It would be nice if it would as well :-)
Hi!
First, thank you for this plugin!
I want to recommend to change font color in report because read grey text on white background is "hard" for eyes. Also if we can increase font size it would be great!
Thanks in advance!
@The-Compiler unicode hurts my head! I encountered a test with 〈 as a parameter. This caused the report to fail due to UnicodeDecodeError. This patch fixes it, but would you mind taking a look to see if there's a smarter approach? I also found it difficult to write a test for this use case.
pytest --html=report.html, is working locally, but not creating report in GIt repository with help of GitHub Action
in Github action, im expecting report to get created in root directory. but nothing is getting created. can you help?

pytest-html 3.2.0 error on report generation on Gitlab-CI Observed: error on report generation NB: we have downgraded to version 3.1.1 and everything works well
I think the problem is in: Explicitly add py.xml dependency.
And the issue is the same as: https://github.com/microsoft/pylance-release/issues/2357

"ful-screen" preview of extra images attached to results for self-contained mode. Unlike image preview in normal mode implemented as part of page with little bit of js+css (likely also possible to implement via , however adress line populated by base64 of the image would be really ugly in such case).
Hello everyone,
I was wondering if there was a way to change the output path of the html report after the test has run by using a test fixture which contains the name and parametrized values of a test i.e. :
during the test there is a fixture that creates a directory whose name is based on the values of the current test, for example :
output_path = /path/to/test/test_name_parametrized_val1_val2.
However since the value of the config.option.htmlpath seems to be given during the pytest_configure hook and the tests have not been intialized yet (output_path is not yet created and, even if it was, it is not reachable from the pytest_configure hook) I haven't been able to figure this one out yet.
I would really appreciate any advice on how to accomplish this and I apologize if the solution is trivial as I'm quite new to pytest...
Thanks and have a good day!
next-genAlthough the installed versions of pythest html 3.2.0 and meta 1.0.4 in report there is still version 3.1.1. for html report and 1.0.2 for meta. Also, the test execution time is slower than on another computer, and the code is the same. What could be the problem?
