So far I've also done what you described. See https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/5073 for general improvements for the last-failed plugin, and https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/1017 from 2016 for this specific issue. I think this should be addressed/fixed there, instead of creating a new plugin. As for workarounds, I've used to do `cp -a .pytest_cache/v/cache/lastfailed{,.stash}` (and the other way around) also. But a better workaround is using a wrapper that puts the cache in its own Git directory, allowing for `p-cache commit -a -m saved`, `p-cache checkout .` etc then. (it also clearly showed a problem with the --newest-first plugin (#5206)). ``` #!/bin/sh # Wrapper around git in .pytest_cache/v/cache. set -e # TODO: could use `m=((../)#.pytest_cache(N))` in Zsh for upward search. root=.pytest_cache/v/cache if ! [ -d "$root" ]; then error "Directory $root does not exist" fi cd "$root" if ! [ -e ".git" ]; then git init . git commit --allow-empty -m "init" git add --all . git commit -m "initial state" fi git "$@" ``` _______________________________________________ pytest-dev mailing list pytest-dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pytest-dev
