It adds a progress bar, shows test failures and errors instantly rather than waiting for the full run to complete, and uses colored output to make results easier to scan. The plugin activates automatically once installed and requires only pytest and termcolor as dependencies.\n\nIt's designed for developers who run tests frequently and want faster feedback during development. The plugin supports command-line options to customize behavior\u2014such as forcing output in non-interactive environments (CI systems) and integrating with Playwright trace files\u2014and can be disabled on a per-run basis if needed. It works across Windows, macOS, and POSIX systems.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you run pytest frequently and want better visual feedback. The plugin is low-friction to install, has no notable security issues, and uses a permissive license. However, the 356-day gap since the last release suggests the project is aging; verify that it remains compatible with your pytest and Python versions before relying on it in production CI systems."},"id":"pytest-sugar","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pytest-sugar","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pytest-sugar.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pytest-sugar/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-08-23","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pytest-sugar","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"pytest-sugar is a plugin for pytest that changes the default look and feel of pytest (e.g. progressbar, show tests that fail instantly)."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":8196404,"position":1653,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.1.1"}
