Instead of collecting all failures and displaying them at the end of the session, it shows each failure or error as it happens, giving you immediate feedback on what broke. This is particularly useful during development when you want to see problems right away rather than waiting for the full test suite to complete.\n\nThe plugin integrates seamlessly into pytest's reporting system and requires only a single command-line flag (--instafail) to enable. It has a single runtime dependency on pytest itself, making it lightweight and easy to adopt in any pytest-based project. The package supports Python 3.7 through 3.11 and PyPy3, and has been actively maintained since its initial release in 2013.","worth_installing":"Yes. This is a low-friction, well-maintained plugin with no security issues that directly improves the test development experience. If you run pytest regularly and want faster feedback on failures, it's worth adding to your workflow\u2014the --instafail flag is optional, so you can enable it only when needed."},"id":"pytest-instafail","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pytest-instafail","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pytest-instafail.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pytest-instafail/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2023-03-31","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pytest-instafail","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"pytest plugin to show failures instantly"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":7280646,"position":1758,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.5.0"}
