Hi team,

I've encountered an issue where certain pytest-html hooks behave differently depending on the location of the conftest.py file. Specifically, session-level hooks like pytest_html_report_title and pytest_html_results_table_header do not seem to fire when conftest.py is placed inside a nested directory (e.g., src/tests/), while item-level hooks like pytest_html_results_table_row work as expected.

This behavior seems to be related to pytest's conftest.py discovery mechanism, where session-level hooks might need to be in a top-level conftest.py to be registered correctly. However, this can be confusing, and it would be great if this behavior was either documented or handled more consistently.

To Reproduce

I've created a minimal reproducible repository here: https://github.com/melumuccu/pytest-html-issue

The issue can be observed by comparing two directory structures.

Case 1: Not Working ❌

In this structure, session-level hooks do not fire.

  • Directory Structure:

    .
├── pytest.ini
└── src
    └── tests
        ├── conftest.py  <-- Hooks defined here
        └── test_sample.py

  • Observation: The report title is not changed, and the "Duration" header is not removed. However, the pytest_html_results_table_row hook does fire for each test.

  • Log (pytest --trace-config):

$ make test

Expected Behavior

I would expect all hooks defined in a discovered conftest.py to be honored, regardless of its depth in the directory tree, especially if pytest is successfully collecting and running tests from that location.

If this is the intended design of pytest, it might be beneficial for pytest-html to include a note in the documentation about the placement of conftest.py for session-level hooks.

Environment

  • OS: Ubuntu 22.04 (in Docker)
  • Python version: 3.11.4
  • pytest version: 7.4.4
  • pytest-html version: 4.1.1
