# Set up test reporting with pytest
<a name="test-report-pytest"></a>

The following procedure demonstrates how to set up test reporting in AWS CodeBuild with the [pytest testing framework](https://docs.pytest.org/). 

The procedure requires the following prerequisites:
+ You have an existing CodeBuild project.
+ Your project is a Python project that is set up to use the pytest testing framework.

Add the following entry to either the `build` or `post_build` phase of your `buildspec.yml` file. This code automatically discovers tests in the current directory and exports the test reports to the file specified by {{<test report directory>}}/{{<report filename>}}. The report uses the `JunitXml` format.

```
      - python -m pytest --junitxml={{<test report directory>}}/{{<report filename>}}
```

In your `buildspec.yml` file, add/update the following sections.

```
version: 0.2

phases:
  install:
    runtime-versions:
      python: 3.7
    commands:
      - pip3 install pytest
  build:
    commands:
      - python -m pytest --junitxml={{<test report directory>}}/{{<report filename>}}

reports:
  pytest_reports:
    files:
      - {{<report filename>}}
    base-directory: {{<test report directory>}}
    file-format: JUNITXML
```
