--last-failed and retest on success

See original GitHub issue

I’d love some guidance on how to get pytest --last-failed to play nice with ptw. Right now, if the last failed tests succeeds, then ptw sits patiently until the next file change.

What I’d like is for it to run normally with last-failed, but when all of the last-failed tests succeed, then rerun all tests. Any suggestions?

The workaround I’ve been using is ptw mymodule/ tests/ -- --failed-first --exitfirst in order to quickly re-loop on failing tests, but run all the remaining tests. ( or ptw mymodule tests -- --ff -x for the code golfers)

Perfect, thanks for clarifying.

For comparison, --looponfail would do:

A - pass
B - fail
C - fail
D - fail

Then you try to fix [B], but don’t succeed. The next run is:

B - fail
C - fail
D - fail

Then you fix B. The next run is:

B - pass
C - fail
D - fail

…each run runs all the still-failing tests, until they’re all fixed
