pytest-stepthrough

Pause after each test and wait for Enter — useful for hardware/integration flows where you want to observe output or reset something between tests.

Install (dev)

pip install -e .

Usage

pytest                 # normal run
pytest --step          # pause after each test (no need for -s)
pytest -q --step       # works with -q too

Notes

• Works with pytest 6+ (tested on 6.2.5).
• We temporarily suspend output capture around the prompt, so -s is not required.
• The prompt appears after pytest prints PASSED/FAILED/XPASS/XFAIL.
