Segfault in travis when executing test inside meta tester #19

Closed smarie closed 5 years ago

smarie commented 5 years ago

this happened today : log

pytest_steps/tests/test_all.py::test_run_all_tests[test_docs_example_with_harvest.py] Segmentation fault (core dumped)

From the various configurations I tried, my best guess is that the meta-testing plugin (pytester) is causing the segfault when there are too many tests run especially inside "big" conda environments with pandas, etc.

Workaround: try to put as many tests as possible not in meta-test.
