pytest -v test_file.py- Compatibility with pytest versions released after 2015-11-04; whether the plugin works with current pytest.
- Whether the plugin actually works with Python 3.3, 3.4, 3.5 or modern PyPy releases as classifiers claim.
- Whether modern pytest's native logging configuration makes this plugin redundant or non-functional.
What it is and what it does
pytest-logging is a pytest plugin that integrates Python's logging module with pytest's test output. It configures logging to write messages directly to the console and ties log verbosity to pytest's `-v` flag, so running `pytest -v` increases the logging level shown during test execution.
The plugin was released on 2015-11-04 and has been abandoned since then. The repository is archived and no updates have been made. Installing it on a current pytest version is uncertain without verification of compatibility.
Use it for
- Legacy test suites written for pytest circa 2015 that depend on this specific plugin's behavior.
- Debugging old projects where logging output was previously controlled via this plugin's `-v` integration.
- Educational reference for how pytest plugins were structured in the early plugin ecosystem.
