Replace the hardcoded if/elif in Export.exec() with a dict registry. Built-in formats (text, json, junit, html) are registered as lazy loaders; missing optional deps (junit_xml, lxml) print a clear message with a pip install hint instead of raising. Entry-points (group "testium.exporters") are discovered at import time — installed plugins are auto-detected with no extra config. An unknown or unavailable format prints an info line and skips the export; the test run is not interrupted. Validation: - New testium-fake-exporter package under test/validation/fake_exporter/ installed automatically by scripts/build_env.sh on venv creation. It registers fake_format via entry-points and exports the tests table to CSV — a real, useful exporter that exercises the plugin contract end-to-end (entry-point discovery, dispatch, SQLite query). - New dedicated items/report_plugin/ test exercises both the unknown-format skip path and the fake_format plugin path, with a py_func check (file_check.py) on the produced CSV. Runs once per validation suite. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Validation
This directory contains the necessary material to run the testium validation.
Here is the documentation on how to configure the validation, run it and check that the results are correct.
