Artefact upload in CI pipelines

[renefritze]

I'm wondering how to best determine where the obtained/diff files are located after a test failure, so I can those to my artefact upload in a CI pipeline.
On linux the relevant basedir is /tmp/pytest-of-${USER}/pytest-current/ and I could just zip that entirely. Is there a way to get at that basedir programmatically after the pytest run though? A better way to target the html diffs specifically maybe?

That basedir comes from the builtin tmpdir plugin, so it can be accessed through config._tmp_path_factory.getbasetemp() from some hook (for example pytest_sessionfinish, through session.config). You could implement pytest_sessionfinish() in your root conftest file and upload the files you need programatically.

Hope this helps!

Oh yes, that's great. Thank you!

Great, glad I could help. Can you mark my reply as the answer then? Thanks!

Doesn't look like I can. Is that option not set in the discussion settings for the "General" category maybe?

Ahh right, thanks!
