Is the value of the log_cli ini option introspectable from conftest.py?

If not, why is that the case? My use case is that I handle "live logging" using a custom logging plugin and want to override log_cli so that live logs are not duplicated.

In particular, I'm looking to get the value of that option with something like:

@pytest.hookimpl(trylast=True)
def pytest_configure(config):
    if config.option.log_cli_option:
        # Suppress default live logs, turn on my custom variant

Yes, take a look at config.getini.

if your pyproject.toml has this:

[tool.pytest.ini_options]
log_cli = true

Then your conftest.py can have this:

import pytest

@pytest.hookimpl(trylast=True)
def pytest_configure(config):
    if config.getini("log_cli"):
        print("do my stuff...")

You may also be interested in config.getoption, for retrieving command-line options (these have precedence over ini options).

Thanks, that's fantastic. If the CLI options have precedence, I guess I should also check for -o log_cli=true? Or is that just a way to set ini options from the cli?

[wimglenn]

That's just another way to set ini options directly at the cmdline (-o is for config file override) and it would still be retrieved with config.getini. If there was a cmdline option --log-cli (which there isn't), then that would be retrieved with config.getoption.

Does that make sense?

Thanks, yes that was exactly the info I needed.
