Running pytest can result in six different exit codes:

Exit code 0:

Exit code 1:

Tests were collected and run but some of the tests failed

Exit code 2:

Test execution was interrupted by the user

Exit code 3:

Internal error happened while executing tests

Exit code 4:

Exit code 5:

They are represented by the pytest.ExitCode enum. The exit codes being a part of the public API can be imported and accessed directly using:

from pytest import ExitCode

Note

If you would like to customize the exit code in some scenarios, specially when no tests are collected, consider using thepytest-custom_exit_codeplugin.
