Intro

A pytest plugin for JIRA integration.

This plugin links tests with JIRA tickets. The plugin behaves similar to the pytest-bugzilla plugin.

The plugin does not close JIRA tickets, or create them. It just allows you to link tests to existing tickets.

Please feel free to contribute by forking and submitting pull requests or by submitting feature requests or issues to issues.

Test results

• If the test unresolved ...
  • and the run=False, the test is skipped
  • and the run=True or not set, the test is executed and based on it the result is xpassed (e.g. unexpected pass) or xfailed (e.g. expected fail). Interpretation of xpassed result depends on the py.test ini-file xfail_strict value, i.e. with xfail_strict=true xpassed results will fail the test suite. More information about strict xfail available on the py.test doc
• If the test resolved ...
  • the test is executed and based on it the result is passed or failed
• If the skipif parameter is provided ...
  • with value False or callable returning False-like value jira marker line is ignored

NOTE: You can set default value for run parameter globally in config file (option run_test_case) or from CLI --jira-do-not-run-test-case. Default value is run=True.

Marking tests

You can specify jira issue ID in docstring or in pytest.mark.jira decorator.

By default the regular expression pattern for matching jira issue ID is [A-Z]+-[0-9]+, it can be changed by --jira-issue-regex=REGEX or in a config file by jira_regex=REGEX.

It's also possible to change behavior if issue ID was not found by setting --jira-marker-strategy=STRATEGY or in config file as marker_strategy=STRATEGY.

Strategies for dealing with issue IDs that were not found:

• open - issue is considered as open (default)
• strict - raise an exception
• ignore - issue id is ignored
• warn - write error message and ignore

Issue ID in decorator

If you use decorator you can specify optional parameters run and skipif. If run is false and issue is unresolved, the test will be skipped. If skipif is is false jira marker line will be ignored.

@pytest.mark.jira("ORG-1382", run=False)
def test_skip(): # will be skipped if unresolved
    assert False

@pytest.mark.jira("ORG-1382")
def test_xfail(): # will run and xfail if unresolved
    assert False

@pytest.mark.jira("ORG-1382", skipif=False)
def test_fail():  # will run and fail as jira marker is ignored
    assert False

Using lambda value for skipif

You can use lambda value for skipif parameter. Lambda function must take issue JSON as input value and return boolean-like value. If any JIRA ID gets False-like value marker for that issue will be ignored.

@pytest.mark.jira("ORG-1382", skipif=lambda i: 'my component' in i['components'])
def test_fail():  # Test will run if 'my component' is not present in Jira issue's components
    assert False

@pytest.mark.jira("ORG-1382", "ORG-1412", skipif=lambda i: 'to do' == i['status'])
def test_fail():  # Test will run if either of JIRA issue's status differs from 'to do'
    assert False

Issue ID in docstring

You can disable searching for issue ID in doc string by using --jira-disable-docs-search parameter or by docs_search=False in jira.cfg.

def test_xpass(): # will run and xpass if unresolved
"""issue: ORG-1382"""
    assert True

Status evaluation

Issues are considered as resolved if their status matches resolved_statuses. By default it is Resolved or Closed.

You can set your own custom resolved statuses on command line --jira-resolved-statuses, or in config file.

If you specify components (in command line or jira.cfg), open issues will be considered unresolved only if they are also open for at least one used component.

If you specify version, open issues will be unresolved only if they also affects your version. Even when the issue is closed, but your version was affected and it was not fixed for your version, the issue will be considered unresolved.

Fixture usage

Besides a test marker, you can also use the added jira_issue fixture. This enables examining issue status mid test and not just at the beginning of a test. The fixture return a boolean representing the state of the issue. If the issue isn't found, or the jira plugin isn't loaded, it returns None.

NICE_ANIMALS = ["bird", "cat", "dog"]

def test_stuff(jira_issue):
    animals = ["dog", "cat"]
    for animal in animals:
        if animal == "dog" and jira_issue("ORG-1382") is True:
            print("Issue is still open, cannot check for dogs!")
            continue
        assert animal in NICE_ANIMALS

Requires

• pytest >= 2.2.3
• requests >= 2.13.0
• six
• retry>=0.9.2
• marshmallow>=3.2.0

Installation

pip install pytest_jira

Usage

1. Create a jira.cfg and put it at least in one of following places.

   • /etc/jira.cfg
   • ~/jira.cfg
   • tests_root_dir/jira.cfg
   • tests_test_dir/jira.cfg

   The configuration file is loaded in that order mentioned above. That means that first options from global configuration are loaded, and might be overwritten by options from user's home directory and finally these might be overwritten by options from test's root directory.

   See example bellow, you can use it as template, and update it according to your needs.

   [DEFAULT]
   url = https://jira.atlassian.com
   username = USERNAME (or blank for no authentication
   password = PASSWORD (or blank for no authentication)
   # ssl_verification = True/False
   # version = foo-1.0
   # components = com1,second component,com3
   # strategy = [open|strict|warn|ignore] (dealing with not found issues)
   # docs_search = False (disable searching for issue id in docs)
   # issue_regex = REGEX (replace default `[A-Z]+-[0-9]+` regular expression)
   # resolved_statuses = comma separated list of statuses (closed, resolved)
   # run_test_case = True (default value for 'run' parameter)
   # connection_error_strategy [strict|skip|ignore] Choose how to handle connection errors
   # return_jira_metadata = False (return Jira issue with metadata instead of boolean result)

   You can set the password field by setting the PYTEST_JIRA_PASSWORD environment variable:

   export PYTEST_JIRA_PASSWORD="FOO"

   Configuration options can be overridden with command line options as well. For all available command line options run following command.

   py.test --help

2. Mark your tests with jira marker and issue id.

   @pytest.mark.jira('issue_id')

   You can put Jira ID into doc string of test case as well.

3. Run py.test with jira option to enable the plugin.

   py.test --jira

Tests

In order to execute tests run
