Hello, it would be great to see pytest-forked
supported as well.
Hi @jaltmayerpizzorno, have you done any work here? If not, I may try to tackle this so would appreciate any tips/pointers!
Hi @cameronbrill, no, sorry, I haven't put work towards this yet. I imagine that it would be implemented by having each process collect coverage separately and write to a file and then merge together. So far I think writing to JSON, and merging JSON results, would make a lot of sense. I can try to contribute some refactorings towards this. But in general I'd read pytest-xdist
(or -forked
) code to see how it works and what it requires. I'd be happy to support your efforts by answering questions (as time allows)!
I just added (in v1.0.4) support for pytest-forked. I haven't tried yet with pytest-xdist, but anything that uses os.fork() and then os._exit() is likely to work. If anyone wants to give it a try and let me know... :)
Slipcover doesn't currently have a way to merge/coordinate coverage data collected on multiple processes into a single output. Attempts to use
pytest-xdist
yield partial coverage results.
