Pytest Plugin for Distributed Testing and Loop-on-Failing Modes
The `pytest-xdist`_ plugin extends py.test with some unique
test execution modes:
* test run parallelization_: if you have multiple CPUs or hosts you can use
those for a combined test run. This allows to speed up
development or to use special resources of `remote machines`_.
* ``--boxed``: (not available on Windows) run each test in a boxed_
subprocess to survive ``SEGFAULTS`` or otherwise dying processes
* ``--looponfail``: run your tests repeatedly in a subprocess. After each run
py.test waits until a file in your project changes and then re-runs
the previously failing tests. This is repeated until all tests pass
after which again a full run is performed.
* `Multi-Platform`_ coverage: you can specify different Python interpreters
or different platforms and run tests in parallel on all of them.
Before running tests remotely, ``py.test`` efficiently "rsyncs" your
program source code to the remote place. All test results
are reported back and displayed to your local terminal.
You may specify different Python versions and interpreters.

(revision 19)
- Remove python_module macro definition
- Use autosetup instead of setup + autopatch
- Remove reintroduce-slave-terminology.patch
- Remove 0001-Revert-Remove-compat-for-pytest-6.patch
- Update to 3.0.2:
# Bug Fixes
* #813: Cancel shutdown when a crashed worker is restarted.
# Deprecations
* #825: The --rsyncdir command line argument and rsyncdirs config variable
are deprecated.
* The rsync feature will be removed in pytest-xdist 4.0.
* #826: The --looponfail command line argument and looponfailroots config
variable are deprecated.
* The loop-on-fail feature will be removed in pytest-xdist 4.0.
# Improved Documentation
* #791: Document the pytest_xdist_auto_num_workers hook.
* #796: Added known limitations section to documentation.
* #829: Document the -n logical option.
# Features
* #792: The environment variable PYTEST_XDIST_AUTO_NUM_WORKERS can now be
used to specify the default for -n auto and -n logical.
* #812: Partially restore old initial batch distribution algorithm in
LoadScheduling.
* pytest orders tests for optimal sequential execution - i. e. avoiding
unnecessary setup and teardown of fixtures. So executing tests in
consecutive chunks is important for optimal performance.
* In v1.14, initial test distribution in LoadScheduling was changed to
round-robin, optimized for the corner case, when the number of tests is
less than 2 * number of nodes. At the same time, it became worse for all
other cases.
* For example: if some tests use some "heavy" fixture, and these tests fit
into the initial batch, with round-robin distribution the fixture will be
created min(n_tests, n_workers) times, no matter how many other tests there
are.
* With the old algorithm (before v1.14), if there are enough tests not using
the fixture, the fixture was created only once.
* So restore the old behavior for typical cases where the number of tests is
much greater than the number of workers (or, strictly speaking, when there
are at least 2 tests for every node).
# Removals
* #468: The --boxed command-line option has been removed. If you still need
this functionality, install pytest-forked separately.
# Trivial Changes
* #468: The py dependency has been dropped.
* #822: Replace internal usage of py.log with a custom solution (but with the
same interface).
* #823: Remove usage of py._pydir as an rsync candidate.
* #824: Replace internal usages of py.path.local by pathlib.Path.
