--last-failed and retest on success about pytest-watch HOT 7 OPEN

The workaround I've been using is ptw mymodule/ tests/ -- --failed-first --exitfirst in order to quickly re-loop on failing tests, but run all the remaining tests. ( or ptw mymodule tests -- --ff -x for the code golfers)

from pytest-watch.

Perfect, thanks for clarifying.

For comparison, --looponfail would do:

• A - pass
• B - fail
• C - fail
• D - fail

Then you try to fix [B], but don't succeed. The next run is:

• B - fail
• C - fail
• D - fail

Then you fix B. The next run is:

• B - pass
• C - fail
• D - fail

...each run runs all the still-failing tests, until they're all fixed

from pytest-watch.

Agree, this would be a great config. This would match the --looponfail behavior

from pytest-watch.

@carver that's a great idea.

To confirm - -x runs one failed test, not all the failed tests; is that correct?

from pytest-watch.

-x halts at the first failed test, which may mean that multiple previously failing tests are run (if they start passing).

from pytest-watch.

Yes, and then the next iteration runs only that single test, as opposed to looping over the failed tests?

from pytest-watch.

Say you have tests A, B, C, D, run in that order. Then you break tests B-D.

The next run is:

• A - pass
• B - fail
• halt

Then you try to fix, but don't succeed. The next run is:

• B - fail
• halt

Then you fix B. The next run is:

• B - pass
• A - pass
• C - fail
• halt
