How do we know if connection fails on startup

[vfalco02]

It is my understanding that if there is an issue connecting to RP, then it will fail silently and continue on with the tests.

My question is - how do we know if a failure occurs (obviously without checking RP)?

I want to have most of the arguments get configured by the end user, but not pushed up to our repository. So I need users to be able to easily know if they did not enter rp_uuid or something else.

@HardNorth I'm not seeing anything in the log. I've stopped on this line and confirm there should be a logged line https://github.com/reportportal/agent-python-pytest/blob/325f56938009ae89ae7739410adcccc0d94f2cde/pytest_reportportal/plugin.py#L170 , but nothing in my console. When investigating the log object I see level=0 and also that parent RootLogger is set to WARNING.

Apologies as I'm still wrapping my head around python logging, but what is going on?
