Pytest-xdist

===============================

Deprecations and Removals
-------------------------

- `654 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/654>`_: Python 3.5 is no longer supported.


Features
--------

- `646 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/646>`_: Add ``--numprocesses=logical`` flag, which automatically uses the number of logical CPUs available, instead of physical CPUs with ``auto``.

This is very useful for test suites which are not CPU-bound.

- `650 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/650>`_: Added new ``pytest_handlecrashitem`` hook to allow handling and rescheduling crashed items.


Bug Fixes
---------

- `421 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/421>`_: Copy the parent process sys.path into local workers, to work around execnet's python -c adding the current directory to sys.path.

- `638 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/638>`_: Fix issue caused by changing the branch name of the pytest repository.


Trivial Changes
---------------

- `592 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/592>`_: Replace master with controller where ever possible.

- `643 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/643>`_: Use 'main' to refer to pytest default branch in tox env names.

===============================

Bug Fixes
---------

- `623 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/623>`_: Gracefully handle the pending deprecation of Node.fspath by using config.rootpath for topdir.

===============================

Features
--------

- `608 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/608>`_: Internal errors in workers are now propagated to the master node.

===============================

Features
--------

- `585 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/585>`_: New ``pytest_xdist_auto_num_workers`` hook can be implemented by plugins or ``conftest.py`` files to control the number of workers when ``--numprocesses=auto`` is given in the command-line.


Trivial Changes
---------------

- `585 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/585>`_: ``psutil`` has proven to make ``pytest-xdist`` installation in certain platforms and containers problematic, so to use it for automatic number of CPUs detection users need to install the ``psutil`` extra::

pip install pytest-xdist[psutil]

===============================

Deprecations and Removals
-------------------------

- `541 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/541>`_: Drop backward-compatibility "slave" aliases related to worker nodes. We deliberately moved away from this terminology years ago, and it seems like the right time to finish the deprecation and removal process.

- `569 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/569>`_: ``pytest-xdist`` no longer supports Python 2.7.


Features
--------

- `504 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/504>`_: New functions ``xdist.is_xdist_worker``, ``xdist.is_xdist_master``, ``xdist.get_xdist_worker_id``, to easily identify the current node.


Bug Fixes
---------

- `471 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/471>`_: Fix issue with Rsync reporting in quiet mode.

- `553 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/553>`_: When using ``-n auto``, count the number of physical CPU cores instead of logical ones.


Trivial Changes
---------------

- `541 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/541>`_: ``pytest-xdist`` now requires ``pytest>=6.0``.

================================

Features
--------

- `549 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/549>`_: Make ``--pdb`` imply ``--dist no``, as the two options cannot really work together at the moment.


Bug Fixes
---------

- `478 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/478>`_: Fix regression with duplicated arguments via $PYTEST_ADDOPTS in 1.30.0.

- `558 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/558>`_: Fix ``rsyncdirs`` usage with pytest 6.0.

- `562 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/562>`_: Do not trigger the deprecated ``pytest_warning_captured`` in pytest 6.0+.
