yes, makes sense - i had this need myself as well, actually.
I'd like to have this and other report customizations be
doable through a --report option (and thus also through ENV
vars and conftest.py settings).
For now, as a kind of workaround, you could put the following lines
into a conftest plugin:
# example content of conftest.py
import py
def pytest_runtest_call(__call__, item):
cap = py.io.StdCapture()
try:
return __call__.execute() # call all other hook implementations
finally:
outerr = cap.reset() # forget about capture
if you run your tests now, all capturing should be dropped.
does it work for you and is the effect roughly what you want?
best,
holger
