Pytest does not show test results in terminal window

Question

I am trying to run some tests by calling the pytest command at a command prompt in the directory containing the tests. In the end, however, I only see how many tests passed or failed, but I don’t see which of them or the trace failed tests (see screenshot below).

Before I saw these things, and I don't remember changing anything in the Pytest configuration. What could be the problem?

Update

What is even stranger is that when I run some test scripts that I am sure were displayed in order to give test results when running individually with pytest , the tests pass:

Could there be any difference between calling the tests using the pytest or the pytest [filename] command?

Answer 1

I installed pytest-html . Thus, you can eliminate potential problems with the exit of the terminal.
