Difficulties to remove `Links` column in the report

[TheoCrd]

Hello!

I tried to remove the Links column from the report but in vain. Apparently this part of code should do the trick, but as expected it did not work (I do not see a part where the column is removed in this snippet)

It looks like the document has changed and it is missing that part as you mentioned. To remove the "Links" column (assuming it is the last column in the table), you can do so as follows:

def pytest_html_results_table_header(cells):
    cells.pop()

def pytest_html_results_table_row(report, cells):
    cells.pop()

Thank you for your answer!

Is it also possible to modify the output from the Test column, to avoid having the full path of the test.py file displayed?

If console outputs are not important, a basic approach might be to simply change the nodeid as shown below:

@pytest.hookimpl(hookwrapper=True)
def pytest_runtest_makereport(item, call):
    outcome = yield
    report = outcome.get_result()
    report.nodeid = "Any string you want"

However, this would display both the original and given names in the console. That's why I would do it as shown below

1- First create a marker sth like "friendly_name" in pytest.ini

markers =
    friendly_name: friendly name for tests

2- Delete the existed "Test" column and create your own

def pytest_html_results_table_header(cells):
    cells.pop(1)
    cells.insert(1, "<th>Test Name</th>")
    cells.insert(2, "<th>Description</th>")

def pytest_html_results_table_row(report, cells):
    cells.pop(1)
    _friendly_name = getattr(report, "friendly_name", report.nodeid)
    cells.insert(1, f"<td>{_friendly_name}</td>")
    cells.insert(2, f"<td>{report.description}</td>")

@pytest.hookimpl(hookwrapper=True)
def pytest_runtest_makereport(item):
    outcome = yield
    report = outcome.get_result()

    report.description = str(item.function.__doc__)

    # Adding friendly test name information
    marker = [mark for mark in item.iter_markers() if mark.name == "friendly_name"]
    if marker:
        friendly_name = str(marker[0].args[0])
        report.friendly_name = friendly_name

This way, If you add a friendly_name marker to your tests as below, it will be shown as the test name; otherwise, the default test name will be used

@pytest.mark.friendly_name("Test name you want")
def test_example():
    assert True

Thank you for your answer. I will try it as soon as I can in my project and will return to you.
