Source

Beyond results, the pytest plugin uploads the things that make the dashboard genuinely useful: your test source and the error log and failing line of each failure. Everything here is fail-soft and non-blocking.

Test source

So the test detail page can render each test inline with its run history (instead of only linking out to your repo), the plugin uploads the source of each .py test file the run executed. This is on by default.

• Only the test files the run actually executed are uploaded - never your application code.
• Paths are relative to the pytest rootdir.
• Files over 256 KB are skipped.
• Uploads are capped at 4 concurrent, and any read/upload error is logged as a [nijam] warning and ignored.

Opting out

If your test files are sensitive, opt out with nijam_upload_source = false:

pytest.ini

[pytest]
nijam_project_id = <your-project-uuid>
nijam_upload_source = false   ; ← don't send test source to Nijam

With source off, the dashboard still links to the test at the run’s commit via your provider (GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket) - you just don’t get the inline render.

Failure detail

Each failure carries its error log - the full traceback / longrepr - and the failing line, so the test detail page tells you what broke without leaving Nijam.

Flakiness

pytest doesn’t retry by default, so to surface flaky tests install the pytest-rerunfailures plugin. Its reruns are reported to Nijam as retries, which is how a test gets scored as flaky. See Flakiness.

Everything here is fail-soft: if any upload fails, the plugin warns and moves on. Your CI run’s pass/fail result is never affected.
