Based on an example at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4673373/logging-within-py-test-tests let's create the following files in a directory:
# pytest.ini
[pytest]
log_cli = 1
log_cli_level = INFO
log_cli_format = %(asctime)s [%(levelname)8s] %(message)s (%(filename)s:%(lineno)s)
log_cli_date_format=%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S
and
# test_spam.py
import logging
import os
import unittest
LOGGER = logging.getLogger(__name__)
def test_eggs():
LOGGER.info('eggs info')
LOGGER.warning('eggs warning')
LOGGER.error('eggs error')
LOGGER.critical('eggs critical')
assert True
# Looks like needs to be moved out of the test class so that @unittest.skipIf can see it
def _are_test_env_variables_set():
LOGGER.critical('### critical from _are_test_env_variables_set()')
return os.environ.get('FOO') is not None
class TestSomeTestClass(unittest.TestCase):
def setUp(self):
LOGGER.critical('### critical from setUp()')
@unittest.skipIf(not _are_test_env_variables_set(),
"test environment variables need to be set")
def test_foo(self):
LOGGER.critical('### critical from test_foo()')
assert True
Run from the directory with the FOO variable being set, e.g.:

As you can see logs from both setUp() and test_foo() appear, but not from _are_test_env_variables_set().
(you can also run with pytest test_spam.py in which case even setUp() is not seem to be executed, but I guess it is OK)
