Hi, i just release pytest-cache-1.0 to pypi which allows to re-run failures from previous test runs and provides a mechanism for other plugins to store data across test session (used e.g. by pytest-pep8). See https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pytest-cache for some docs. The main news is the "--ff" option which runs all tests but first the failures from the last run. Thanks to Jack Riches for the patch. Full Changelog below. cheers, holger 1.0 ---------------------------------------------- - merged "--ff" (failedfirst) option to run all tests but run the last-failed ones first. Thanks Jack Riches. - fix issue6 - --clearcache doesn't bail out if .cache doesn't exist, thanks longlho - fix issue4: consider setup time skip of a previous failure as no longer failing - ensure --cache output is sorted
