implement a --failed option for pytest
Project description
pytest plugin to implement a --failed option
Warning
This project is no longer maintained.
If you are using pytest >= 2.8 you don’t need to install anything, since the functionality has been added to pytest core
If you are using pytest <= 2.7 you should use use pytest-cache instead.
It provides the same feature with --lf instead of --failed (which is shorter)
It’s developed by the original author of pytest (Holger Krekel)
It has more features
It does not use pickle for storing data so it’s safe to use across different versions of Python
The only downside is that pytest-cache depends on execnet, whereas pytest-runfailed is standalone.
Usage
Just run
py.test --failed
You’ll need to run the full suite once before the option --failed can work.
The failing tests ids are stored into a .pytest directory, just remove it if you experience issues.
