Not sure I understand the output when I use -n=12

See original GitHub issue

Why, when I do pytest -n=12 does it look like I have so many workers ? I am I misunderstanding something, I thought it would be 12 worker processes. (I have 8 threads on the CPU, is there something I’m missing?)

I could make a video of it if that helps ?

I don’t think that’s necessary, but thanks!

Can I also ask in this print out gw0 [21] / gw1 [21] / gw2 [21] / gw3 [21] / gw4 [21] / gw5 [21] / gw6 [21] / gw7 [21] / gw8 [21] / gw9 [21] that I get from running 10 workers, what does [21] mean?

I think the 21 means that each worker has collected 21 tests, and that also means that you have totally 21 test cases
