pytest: How to get a list of all failed tests at the end of the session? (and while using xdist)

Question

I would like to have a list of all the tests that have failed to be used at the end of session.

Pytest lets you define a hook pyt

Answer 1

If you want results of the tests you can use hook runtest_makereport:

@pytest.hookimpl(tryfirst=True, hookwrapper=True)
def pytest_runtest_makereport(item, call):
    outcome = yield
    rep = outcome.get_result()
    if rep.when == 'call' and rep.failed:
        mode = 'a' if os.path.exists('failures') else 'w'
        try:  # Just to not crash py.test reporting
          pass  # the test 'item' failed
        except Exception as e:
            pass
