In pytest, how can I figure out if a test failed? (from "request")
It can be done, not directly though. I just added an example to the docs. It probably makes sense to makes this easier by default, i.e. without requiring the use of a conftest.py hook. If you agree, please file an issue.
I had to do something similar on a per-module level. After examining the existing solutions I was a little surprised by their complexity. Here's an approach I came up with to address this issue:
import pytest@pytest.fixture(scope="module", autouse=True)def failure_tracking_fixture(request): tests_failed_before_module = request.session.testsfailed yield tests_failed_during_module = request.session.testsfailed - tests_failed_before_moduleIt can be tweaked to do what you want by making the fixture a function-level one.
Hope this helps!
