Description

import pytest
@pytest.mark.hookwrapper
def pytest_runtest_makereport(item, call):
    pytest_html = item.config.pluginmanager.getplugin('html')
    outcome = yield
    report = outcome.get_result()
    extra = getattr(report, 'extra', [])
    extra.append(pytest_html.extras.html('<p>Print something</p>'))
    report.extra = extra

In the report, the text is displayed twice:
