Setting both :confval:`truncation_limit_lines` and :confval:`truncation_limit_chars` to ``0`` will disable the truncation.
However, setting only one of those values will disable one truncation mode, but will leave the other one intact.

Creating resultlog format files
--------------------------------------------------

To create plain-text machine-readable result files you can issue:

.. code-block:: bash

pytest --resultlog=path

and look at the content at the ``path`` location. Such files are used e.g.
by the `PyPy-test`_ web page to show test results over several revisions.

.. warning::

This option is rarely used and is scheduled for removal in pytest 6.0.

If you use this option, consider using the new `pytest-reportlog <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-reportlog>`__ plugin instead.

See :ref:`the deprecation docs <resultlog deprecated>` for more information.
