Summary

Preserve full parametrized pytest node IDs when they contain spaces in both the canonical pytest log parser and the standalone runtime verifier.

The previous implementation used \S+ for verbose output and split() for summary lines, which truncated or dropped node IDs such as tests/test_calc.py::test_eval[1 + 1].

This change:

  • parses verbose status lines from the right so whitespace inside node IDs is preserved;
  • keeps complete summary node IDs instead of tokenizing on whitespace;
  • strips summary diagnostics only outside parametrization brackets, so parameter values containing - remain intact;
  • keeps the canonical parser and runtime verifier in lockstep;
  • adds regression coverage for spaced IDs, shared prefixes, status words inside parameters, and runtime grading against the full node ID.

Closes #90

Thanks for picking up #90. For maintainers comparing this with #91, which fixes the same issue: I ran both against real pytest 9.0.3 output, using per-test outcomes recorded through a pytest_runtest_logreport hook as ground truth. I also swapped the test suites between the two branches.

  • #92's tests all pass on #91's implementation (14/14).
  • #91's tests fail 6 of 72 on this branch.

Issues I found here:

1. CI lint will fail. ruff check . reports I001 (unsorted imports) in tests/test_pytest_spaced_node_ids.py. ruff check --fix resolves it.

2. Verbose skip lines are no longer parsed. pytest prints the skip reason in -v mode:

test_cases.py::test_skip[x] SKIPPED (needs optional dep)          [ 94%]

_VERBOSE_RE only allows [ NN%] after the status, so these lines stop matching and skipped tests vanish from the status map. main records them as SKIPPED. With -rA, the short summary only has the folded SKIPPED [2] file:line: reason form. That now becomes the key test_cases.py:26: needs optional dep instead of test_cases.py:26:.

3. An unbalanced [ in a parameter keeps the diagnostic in the name. _strip_summary_diagnostic counts bracket depth, so with a parameter like "unmatched [ bracket" the depth never returns to 0. The summary line then yields this key:

test_cases.py::test_fail[unmatched [ bracket] - AssertionError: boom [unmatched [ bracket] - detail

In the verifier, that key counts as an untracked FAILED test.

4. console_output_style = count / times. The line ends in [ 8/17] or 415.6us, so no verbose line matches and only FAILED summary lines are parsed. main handles these for ordinary names. #91 has the same issue; I suggested a fix there.

5. Performance. The greedy .+ backtracks through pytest's right-aligned padding. A 100k-line log takes ~4.4s, against 0.13s on main and 0.4s on #91.

Also, the first commit deletes the verifier's if __name__ == "__main__" block and __all__, and the second restores them. The net diff is fine; just flagging it in case of a non-squash merge.

Since #91 covers these cases and has broader tests, including a real pytest run and a standalone-verifier subprocess, it may be simplest to consolidate on #91.

Thanks for the detailed comparison and adversarial cases — they were very helpful. I've updated this PR to address the issues you found:

  • verbose SKIPPED (reason) lines are parsed again;
  • folded SKIPPED [N] file:line: reason summaries now keep only the location;
  • parametrized IDs with unmatched [ / ] no longer retain the failure diagnostic;
  • console_output_style = count and times trailers are supported;
  • the greedy verbose regex was replaced with right-to-left status parsing to avoid the large-log backtracking regression;
  • the Ruff import-order issue is fixed.

I also expanded the regression coverage for both the canonical parser and the standalone runtime verifier, including the non-default console styles and the edge cases above. The branch is now squashed to a single commit to avoid the intermediate-history concern.

Thanks again for testing both implementations.

Thanks for the thorough update. I re-ran the same checks on ba0301f. Against real pytest 9.0.3 output, all 19 of my cases now parse correctly under -v, -v -rA, -vv -rA, and the classic, count and times styles. The skip-reason, unmatched-bracket and backtracking issues are fixed.

A few things are left. The first two would make CI red; I ran this on Linux with py3.12:

  1. Lint still fails.

    • ruff check: I001 in tests/test_pytest_spaced_node_ids.py.
    • ruff format --check: the same file would be reformatted (lines over 100 chars around the F2P/P2P comprehensions).
    • ruff check --fix . && ruff format . resolves both.
  2. Two of the new tests fail. Both are test_empty_malformed_and_unrelated_lines[canonical-SKIPPED [2]] and [runtime-SKIPPED [2]]. _FOLDED_SKIP_RE needs a location after the count, so the bare SKIPPED [2] falls through to _strip_summary_diagnostic and records the key '[2]'.

  3. :: in the failure message truncates the ID. _strip_summary_diagnostic starts its search at name.rfind("::"), which can land inside the diagnostic:

    FAILED tests/a.py::test_x[left - right] - AssertionError: expected mod::func
    -> {'tests/a.py::test_x[left': 'FAILED'}
    

    It reproduces with real pytest output too. The verbose line still records the right ID, but the verifier then counts this key as an extra untracked failure. Using name.find("::"), the node ID's first ::, fixes it in both parsers. I checked that it also works for TestClass::test_x[a - b].

  4. times style for tests ≥ 60s. format_node_duration prints 2m 5s / 1h 3m at that length, and _DURATION_RE rejects both, so slow tests are dropped:

    tests/a.py::test_slow PASSED        2m 5s   -> {}
    
  5. Minor, non-blocking. _parse_verbose_line grows superlinearly on very long lines full of status words: 0.06s at 112k chars, 1.7s at 448k chars. Skipping lines whose first token has no :: and doesn't end in .py, before scanning, would avoid it.

For maintainers: #91 now covers these cases, including the 2m 5s durations. It passes lint and its full suite on Linux (816 passed), and this PR's test file also passes against #91's implementation (88/88). Consolidating on #91 still looks simplest to me.

Thanks for the follow-up and for checking these against real pytest output. I've addressed the remaining cases:

  • fixed the Ruff import/format issues in the regression test file;
  • bare folded-skip counts such as SKIPPED [2] are now ignored instead of being recorded as a test key;
  • summary diagnostics containing :: no longer truncate the node ID;
  • times output now handles minute/hour durations such as 2m 5s and 1h 3m;
  • added an early rejection path for unrelated lines before scanning for status markers.

I added regression coverage for these cases in both the canonical parser and standalone runtime verifier, and kept the branch squashed to a single commit.

The latest CI run is currently showing action_required, so it appears to be waiting for the external-fork workflow approval rather than reporting a test failure.

Thanks again for the thorough adversarial testing.

I re-ran everything on e96583d, and all the functional issues are fixed:

  • Real pytest 9.0.3: all 19 cases are correct under -v, -v -rA, -vv -rA, and the classic, count and times styles.
  • Remaining edge cases: 2m 5s / 1h 3m durations, :: inside the failure message, and a bare SKIPPED [2] now all behave correctly in both the canonical parser and the standalone verifier.
  • Performance: a 448k-char line full of status words now parses in 0.000s. The realistic 100k-line log takes 0.19s.
  • Full suite: passes on Linux py3.12, with 815 passed.

One thing would still fail the CI lint job. tests/test_pytest_spaced_node_ids.py doesn't pass ruff 0.15.12, the version pinned in uv.lock; I checked against the committed files:

  • ruff check: I001. Ruff wants the aliased parse_pytest as parse_runtime_pytest in its own from ... import block, separate from grade.
  • ruff format --check: the file would be reformatted. The affected spots are the extra parentheses in log = ((...)) and the F2P/P2P comprehensions, which fit on one line.

Running uv run ruff check --fix . && uv run ruff format . fixes both.
