After using pytest heavily for the last week there are a number of issues:

  1. Caching is problematic in Docker and MPI environments where absolute paths change.
  2. Using a debugger like ipdb caused pytest failures.
  3. Error logging is excessively verbose.
  4. No way to fully disable caching.

Hence, I am :-1: on pytest.
