Running PyTest in Jenkins - Interactive Code Practice

Practice - 5 Tasks

1fill in blank

easy

Complete the code to run PyTest in a Jenkins pipeline step.

PyTest

sh 'pytest [1]'

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A--verbose

B--help

C--version

D--list

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using --help shows help text but does not run tests.

Using --version only shows PyTest version.

Using --list is not a valid PyTest option.

The --verbose option runs PyTest with detailed output, which is useful in Jenkins logs.

2fill in blank

medium

Complete the Jenkinsfile step to archive PyTest test reports.

PyTest

archiveArtifacts artifacts: '[1]', fingerprint: true

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A**/output.txt

B**/test-results.xml

C**/pytest.log

D**/coverage.xml

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Archiving log files instead of test result XML.

Using coverage report file which is different from test results.

PyTest can generate test reports in XML format, usually named test-results.xml, which Jenkins archives.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the Jenkins pipeline command to run PyTest with junitxml output.

PyTest

sh 'pytest --junitxml=[1]'

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Aresults

Bresults.json

Cresults.txt

Dresults.xml

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using a filename without extension causes PyTest to error.

Using .txt or .json extensions is invalid for junitxml.

The --junitxml option requires a filename ending with .xml to save the test report.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to run PyTest only on files in the tests directory and generate XML report.

PyTest

sh 'pytest [1] --junitxml=[2]'

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Atests/

Btest/

Creport.xml

Dresults.xml

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using wrong folder name like 'test/' if tests are in 'tests/'.

Using a non-XML file name for the report.

Use tests/ to specify the folder with tests and results.xml as the XML report file.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a Jenkins pipeline step that runs PyTest with verbose output, saves XML report, and archives it.

PyTest

sh 'pytest [1] --junitxml=[2]'
archiveArtifacts artifacts: '[3]', fingerprint: true

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A--verbose

Bresults.xml

C**/results.xml

D--quiet

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using --quiet instead of --verbose loses detailed logs.

Archiving wrong file pattern causes no files to be saved.

Run PyTest with --verbose, save report as results.xml, and archive the XML file with **/results.xml pattern.
