Hi, I would like to propose a change to the behavior of the --junitxml option.
Currently, if the same XML file path is specified for multiple invocations of pytest, the file is overwritten. For our use case, we would like the ability to append new test results to an existing JUnit XML file so we don't lose previous results. This is important for us, as we are automating calls to pytest and would like to avoid the need to create a consolidated JUnit XML results file ourselves (i.e., by specifying a different argument to --junitxml for each invocation and then consolidating all the separate XML files into a single one for consumption by our tool). Is this behavior change something that could be considered for the next release of pytest? If other pytest users are relying on the existing overwriting behavior of --junitxml, perhaps another pytest option could be added to toggle between overwrite and append behavior.
