pytest-pytestrail
Pytest plugin for interaction with TestRail
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
No—not for new projects. The package is abandoned (last update 2020-08-27, repository archived), so it will not receive bug fixes or compatibility updates. If you need TestRail integration with pytest, consider actively maintained alternatives or evaluate whether the risk of incompatibility with future pytest and TestRail API versions is acceptable for your use case. Only install if you are maintaining legacy code already using this plugin and cannot migrate.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires TestRail account credentials (TESTRAIL_URL, TESTRAIL_EMAIL, TESTRAIL_PASSWORD) set via environment variables or pytest configuration file.
- Low install friction with only two runtime dependencies (pytest and testrail-api).
- However, the package is abandoned—last commit was 2022-01-15 and the repository is archived.

Verify before relying
pip install pytest-pytestrail
from pytest_pytestrail import pytestrail
@pytestrail.case('C32')
def test_one():
assert True- Whether the package remains compatible with current TestRail API versions and recent pytest releases.
- Whether testrail-api dependency has active maintenance and security updates.
- Whether SSL certificate validation bypass (--tr-no-ssl-check) introduces security risks in production environments.
What it is and what it does
pytest-pytestrail is a pytest plugin that bridges your test suite to TestRail, a test case management platform. It lets you decorate individual pytest test functions with TestRail case IDs, then automatically report pass/fail results back to TestRail during test execution. You can also organize tests into steps, parametrize them with multiple data sets, and create named test runs with metadata like milestones and descriptions.
The plugin is configured through pytest.ini, setup.cfg, environment variables, or command-line flags. It handles authentication to TestRail, manages test run lifecycle (creation, result reporting, optional closure on completion), and supports timezone handling and custom date formatting. However, the package has been abandoned since early 2022 and receives no updates, so compatibility with newer pytest or TestRail API versions is not guaranteed.
Use it for
- Automatically sync pytest test results to TestRail after each test run without manual reporting.
- Link automated tests to TestRail case IDs so test execution history is tracked in your test management system.
- Organize multi-step tests in pytest and report each step's result separately to TestRail.
- Parametrize pytest tests and report each parameter variant as a distinct TestRail case result.
- Create and close TestRail test runs programmatically from CI/CD pipelines during automated testing.
