中文

在 conftest.py 或命令行中指定的 pytest 插件未在当前 Python 环境中安装。

Workarounds

  1. 95% success Install the missing plugin using pip. 
    pip install pytest-html
  2. 90% success Add the plugin to requirements.txt and run pip install -r requirements.txt. 
    echo 'pytest-html' >> requirements.txt && pip install -r requirements.txt

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Manually copying plugin files to the project directory 85% fail

    Plugins must be installed via pip to be properly registered with pytest.

  2. Removing the plugin reference from conftest.py without installing 60% fail

    If the plugin is required for test functionality, tests may fail or behave incorrectly.
