Dear Pytest-Dev,
I am trying to implement a pytest plugin to check for reference leaks
similarly to how it is done in CPython with python -mtest -R : command.
The problem is that pytest_runtest_protocol seems to update some internal
state and calling it even on an empty test function increases the total
reference count. Clearly, I need to clean up the internal state in my
plugin, but I cannot figure out where this state is kept.
Looking at the pytest_runtest_protocol implementation in runner.py, I see
the following code:
def pytest_runtest_protocol(item, nextitem):
...
runtestprotocol(item, nextitem=nextitem)
return True
where runtestprotocol() is a function returning a list to reports, but this
list is apparently discarded by the runner. Can someone explain how
reports are passed from the runner hooks to the terminal hooks?
