# Installing TestGlance for pytest

## 1. Make tests emit JUnit XML

pytest writes JUnit XML natively — no extra package required. Pass
`--junitxml` when invoking pytest:

```bash
pytest --junitxml=test-results/pytest.xml
```

If you would rather bake the option into the project config, add it to
`pyproject.toml`:

```toml
# pyproject.toml
[tool.pytest.ini_options]
addopts = "--junitxml=test-results/pytest.xml"
```

…or to `pytest.ini`:

```ini
# pytest.ini
[pytest]
addopts = --junitxml=test-results/pytest.xml
```

Make sure the CI test command actually runs pytest (so `addopts` is
honored).

## 2. Add the TestGlance step to CI

If the project already has a CI workflow that runs the tests, add this step
to the test job (after the test step), and merge the `permissions:` block at
the workflow's top level:

```yaml
permissions:
  contents: read
  pull-requests: write

# ...inside the test job, after the test step:
- uses: testglance/action@v1
  if: always()
  with:
    github-token: ${{ github.token }}
```

If no CI workflow runs the tests yet, create
`.github/workflows/testglance.yml` that runs the project's tests and then
runs the TestGlance step.

`if: always()` matters — TestGlance should still run when tests fail.
TestGlance auto-discovers anything matching `**/test-results/*.xml`, so no
`report-path` is needed when reports land under `test-results/`.

## 3. Confirm with the user before committing

Summarize the diff and ask the user to confirm before staging or
committing. Do not push.
