Combine pytest html report into one single report

Question

I use xunitmerge to merge all pytest junit xml output into one single junit xml. Command used to run pytest and merge are below:

for i in `ls  test_*`
do
test_suit=$(echo $i |cut -d'.' -f1)
py.test $i --tb=long --html=Reports/${test_suit}.html --junitxml=Reports/${test_suit}.xml -vv
done

xunitmerge Reports/*.xml Reports/discovery.xml

Here, all xml are merged to one single xml file.

Is there any tool to convert multiple py.test html files to one single html report file?

Note: when I run py.test without specifying test_ it triggers all files starting with test_ automatically. But since I use the ordering plugin, Order in multiple files I can't use to run py.test without specifying specific test case file.

You can use XSLT for that by:

either merging your XHTML reports to one master HTML file, as explained here for instance
or producing an HTML output from your merged XML output, as described there for example

For instance, let assume that you have the following XML file (catalog.xml):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<catalog>
  <item>
    <name>A great book</name>
    <price>10</price>
  </item>
</catalog>

You can create an XSL template (catalog.xsl):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:template match="/">
  <html>
  <body>
  <h2>My Catalog</h2>
  <table border="1">
    <tr bgcolor="#9acd32">
      <th>Name</th>
      <th>Price</th>
    </tr>
    <xsl:for-each select="catalog/item">
    <tr>
      <td><xsl:value-of select="name"/></td>
      <td><xsl:value-of select="price"/></td>
    </tr>
    </xsl:for-each>
  </table>
  </body>
  </html>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Then, the only thing you have to do is to reference your XSL template in your XML file.
Finally, your XML file should look like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="catalog.xsl"?>
<catalog>
  <item>
    <name>A great book</name>
    <price>10</price>
  </item>
</catalog>

Open your XML file in a browser and it'll be rendered using the XSL template!

How can i use XSLT is there any tool? when i checked the link provided to convert final xml to html they have just provided 2 xml one input (my case) 2nd one output xslt file which can be viewed as html. How can do this conversion its not mentioned in the link provided — Naggappan Ramukannan, Apr 19 '16 at 11:22
I think I need a template(xslt) to convert junit xml to proper html. Then later on we can use both the xml file and use a python script to convert — Naggappan Ramukannan, Apr 19 '16 at 12:28
No need to do strictly a "conversion", just link your XSL template in your XML file (see my updated answer). — filaton, Apr 19 '16 at 12:57
