Count teardown error as fail

[ego-thales]

Hi everyone,

Consider this:

import pytest

@pytest.fixture
def foo():
    yield
    raise

def test_a(): raise
def test_b(foo): ...

It provides this report:

As you can see, test_b PASSED but there was an error in teardown of foo. Is it possible to make it so that foo fails test_b? I tried pytest.fail() but it behaves the same.

If it is not possible, I think it would be nice to consider!

All the best.
Élie.

This is not really a pytest-cov issue. Regardless, I think what you are seeing there is expected. Test failures should be separate than fixture failures (eg: if both test and fixture fail there should be two things to see in the report no?). Anyway, if you want to discuss more perhaps https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues is a better place.

@RonnyPfannschmidt do I need some special permission to transfer this to pytest-dev/pytest ?

[ego-thales]

OH SORRY wrong repo!! My bad

I transfer is impossible I'll close here and open there.
