pytest-json-ctrf
Pytest plugin to generate json report in CTRF (Common Test Report Format)
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes. This is a lightweight, actively maintained plugin with no security issues, low install friction, and a clear use case for teams already using pytest who need standardized test reporting. Install it if you need CTRF-formatted test output for CI/CD integration or cross-tool reporting.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.8 or later.
- Low install friction with a single runtime dependency on pytest.
- Actively maintained with a recent release 26 days ago and no known vulnerabilities.

What it is and what it does
pytest-json-ctrf is a pytest plugin that intercepts test execution and writes results to a standardized JSON report following the Common Test Report Format (CTRF) specification. It runs as a pytest hook, collecting test outcomes (pass, fail, skip) and metadata like duration and environment details, then serializes them into a structured JSON file that can be consumed by other tools like GitHub Actions reporters or Slack integrations.
The plugin is designed to work transparently with pytest's distributed testing via pytest-xdist and can extract browser information from pytest-playwright when present. It handles parametrized tests by reporting them as separate test entries rather than retries, and includes build metadata from environment variables. The generated report includes summary statistics, individual test results with durations, and optional environment context.
Use it for
- Export pytest results to a standardized format for consumption by CI/CD dashboards and reporting tools.
- Generate test reports that integrate with GitHub Actions via github-actions-ctrf for automated result visualization.
- Collect and aggregate test results from distributed test runs using pytest-xdist into a single unified report.
- Feed test data to Slack reporters or other notification systems that consume CTRF-formatted JSON.
- Track browser-based test results from pytest-playwright with browser name metadata included in the report.
