Changing path of html directory using a fixture value for parametrized test

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if there was a way to change the output path of the html report after the test has run by using a test fixture which contains the name and parametrized values of a test i.e. :

during the test there is a fixture that creates a directory whose name is based on the values of the current test, for example :
output_path = /path/to/test/test_name_parametrized_val1_val2.

However since the value of the config.option.htmlpath seems to be given during the pytest_configure hook and the tests have not been intialized yet (output_path is not yet created and, even if it was, it is not reachable from the pytest_configure hook) I haven't been able to figure this one out yet.

I would really appreciate any advice on how to accomplish this and I apologize if the solution is trivial as I'm quite new to pytest...

Thanks and have a good day!

Start with the pytest_configure hook and the fixture lifecycle described in the issue. Determine whether the HTML output path can use parametrized test values after tests initialize, and clarify whether the result should be a supported feature or documented guidance for configuring the report path.
