My problem was similar, I only saw messages with level WARNING or higher while running tests in PyCharm. A colleague suggested to configure the logger in __init__.py which is in the directory of my tests.

# in tests/__init__.py
import logging
import sys

# Reconfiguring the logger here will also affect test running in the PyCharm IDE
log_format = '%(asctime)s %(levelname)s %(filename)s:%(lineno)d %(message)s'
logging.basicConfig(stream=sys.stdout, level=logging.DEBUG, format=log_format)

Then I can simply log in the test code like:

import logging
logging.info('whatever')
