It provides two main dictionaries: collect_dict (populated after collection with test counts) and test_dict (populated during the run with outcomes, durations, and aggregated result counts). Every parent node automatically receives a @counts dict summing the outcomes of all leaf tests beneath it (passed, failed, skipped, executed, unexecuted, total) and optional @total_duration aggregates.\n\nThe plugin self-registers via the pytest11 entry point and requires no conftest changes for basic use. Access the hierarchies from any pytest hook via the plugin manager. Configuration options in pytest.ini or pyproject.toml let you control marker annotation, outcome recording, duration tracking, setup/teardown phase recording, and whether counts and durations bubble up through parent nodes. It is designed for test reporting, JSON export, and introspection of test structure and results during or after a run.","worth_installing":"Yes. This is a focused, low-friction pytest plugin with active maintenance, no security vulnerabilities, and a dual permissive license. Install it if you need hierarchical test result aggregation, JSON export of test structure, or programmatic access to test outcomes grouped by suite/module/class. The Python >= 3.11 requirement is the only real constraint; if your project targets older Python, it won't work."},"id":"pytest-item-dict","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pytest-item-dict","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pytest-item-dict.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pytest-item-dict/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-05-22","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"pytest-item-dict","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Get a hierarchical dict of session.items"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":177248,"position":10217,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.3.7"}
