[pytest-dev] py.test implementation on timeline

[Ayelet Regev]

Hi,

regarding issue #1:

correct me if i'm wrong, item._request object is individual per each 
test executuion.
if this is the case i can create item._request,cfg to include my cfg 
params per each item, and to read them from the actual test function.

_*
*__*on conftest.py:*_


# Test starts hook
def pytest_runtest_call(item):
*item._request.cfg = item.cfg*
     while True:
         r = wait_for_depend_item(item)
         if r:
             break
     item.start_time = datetime.datetime.now()
     item.config.logger.info2("\n\nRun-test: %s - %s" % (item.name, 
item.cfg))



*_on t__est_cm file:_

* def test_cm_delete(request):

     cfg = request.cfg
     ....


Any comments will be welcomed.
