pytest-pystack raises exception when using with pytester fixture

[Czaki]

Describe the bug

Pytest provides pytester fixture to allow to validate if fixtures provided by a package works correctly:
https://docs.pytest.org/en/7.1.x/reference/reference.html?highlight=pytester#pytester

However, this leads to run test in test and leads pytest-pystack to crash.

Process pystack_monitor:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/czaki/.pyenv/versions/3.11.5/lib/python3.11/multiprocessing/process.py", line 314, in _bootstrap

Exception: new test should not start before previous test finished

This stacktrace comes from https://github.com/napari/napari/blob/cb7f46dfe0100c3afdd622faca768bc393b19636/napari/_tests/test_pytest_plugin.py

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a test that uses pytester fixture to run tests
2. Run it in environment with pytest-pystack

Expected behavior

Allow use pytester with pytest-pystack

Will take a look at this soon

Hummm, I cannot reproduce this. I am checking with this test file:

import pytest
import time

pytest_plugins = 'pytester'


def test_make_napari_viewer(pytester):
    """Make sure that our make_napari_viewer plugin works."""

    # create a temporary pytest test file
    pytester.makepyfile(
        """
            import time
            time.sleep(100)
            assert 1 == 2

    """
    )
    # run all tests with pytest
    result = pytester.runpytest()

    # check that all 1 test passed
    result.assert_outcomes(passed=1)

And running python -m pytest the_file.py --pystack-threshold=2 -vv work correctly as expected (pystack prints output after 2 seconds):

Your example does not contain a test in the created file. Try this one:

import pytest
import time

pytest_plugins = 'pytester'


def test_make_napari_viewer(pytester):
    """Make sure that our make_napari_viewer plugin works."""

    # create a temporary pytest test file
    pytester.makepyfile(
        """
            import time
            
            def test_sleep():
                time.sleep(1)
                assert 1 == 2

    """
    )
    # run all tests with pytest
    result = pytester.runpytest()

    # check that all 1 test passed
    result.assert_outcomes(passed=1)

@pablogsal Any update?

[pablogsal]

I could reproduce with this example but with Python 3.13 beta 1 soon I cannot prioritise this currently as I need to attend other projects. Maybe @gusmonod can take a look

Otherwise if you want to give it a go we can take a PR :)

[pablogsal]

Oh, actually I haven't realised you opened a PR here:

#11

Can you add a test for this and we can merge it?

[Czaki]

Added test
