Re-run failed test after slave death #183

Open digitalresistor opened 7 years ago

digitalresistor commented 7 years ago

Is there a way to re-run a test that failed during slave death? Due to the nature of the project I am working on it is possible for a test slave to be reaped by the OOM handler in Linux, and instead of rejecting that test it would be awesome if the test could instead be retried.

Not ouf of the box, sorry. I wonder though if you could use another plugin together with xdist, for example pytest-rerunfailures.

It seems this is an issue for me too: https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/124

So for this to be useful, the right test has to be marked.

True, I'll change the label to "enhancement".
