unittest pytester subprocess option tooling/usage #6487

Open RonnyPfannschmidt opened 4 years ago

RonnyPfannschmidt commented 4 years ago

follow-up to #6444

its no longer clear if the process control option for the testsuite still works for our testsuite, we should evaluate if we want to fix/support it or drop it (breaking change for plugins using pytester)

I think we do not have to dump/remove the option, only because our own tests fail with it.

Good point.

RonnyPfannschmidt commented 4 years ago

so how do we ensure it stays working for others?

nicoddemus commented 4 years ago

I would say having unittests for the option itself.
