Log entries not reported

[bjones1]

Thanks for pytest -- it's amazing, and makes testing so much better in Python. I really appreciate both the work you've done and the top-notch docs. It's incredible.

I've run into a problem that may be pilot error -- perhaps I misunderstand pytest and logging? If so, I'd appreciate a pointer on how to do this properly.

A (somewhat) detailed description of the bug or problem

I wrote code in a fixture to record setup errors in a child fixture using the Python logger. I found that these logs aren't reported by pytest, and I don't know why. In the minimal example below, fix1 uses a finally clause to log information about errors produced by fix2. The finally clause's code is executed, but the log entry is suppressed. Is there a way for pytest to display these "missing" logs?

Specifically, the text below displays pytest_bug.py Efix1 capture of post-setup failures (showing the fix1 finally clause runs) but the log output doesn't contain are not reported by the pytest logger.

Minimal example

import logging
import pytest

logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)


@pytest.fixture
def fix1():
    logger.error("fix1 setup")
    try:
        yield
    finally:
        print("fix1 capture of post-setup failures")
        logger.error("are not reported by the pytest logger")


@pytest.fixture
def fix2(fix1):
    raise IndexError


def test_1(fix2):
    pass

The output for me; I used the -s flag so the print statement shows up.
