 Test & Code 234: pytest-metadata - provides access to test session metadata

pytest-metadata is described as a plugin for pytest that provides access to test session metadata. 
That is such a humble description for such a massively useful plugin. 
If you're already using pytest-html, you have pytest-metadata already installed, as pytest-metadata is one of the dependencies for pytest-html.
However, pytest-metadata is very useful even on its own.
Links:
- pytest-metadata - The plugin we're talking about in this episode
 - pytest-base-url - Adds the base URL to the metadata.
 - pytest-html - Displays the metadata at the start of each report.
 - pytest-reporter-html1 - Presents metadata as part of the report.
 - pytest-selenium - Adds the driver, capabilities, and remote server to the metadata.
 
If you've got other plugins that work well with pytest-metadata, please let me know.
