It's designed to help diagnose intermittent test failures by running tests many times in succession, and to perform stress testing by running tests continuously over a time window.\n\nThe plugin integrates with pytest's command-line interface and decorator system. You can specify repetition via `--loop=N` on the command line, or mark individual tests with `@pytest.mark.loop(N)`. For time-based looping, you use `--hours`, `--minutes`, and `--seconds` options, optionally with a `--delay` between iterations. It merges functionality from pytest-repeat and pytest-stress, and works with standard pytest test functions but not with unittest.TestCase classes.","worth_installing":"Yes. The plugin is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and solves a real problem\u2014detecting intermittent failures and stress-testing. Low install friction (one dependency, pure Python), broad Python version support, and Production/Stable status make it a safe choice for projects that need to diagnose flaky tests or validate stability under repeated execution."},"id":"pytest-loop","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pytest-loop","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pytest-loop.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pytest-loop/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-10-17","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"pytest-loop","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"pytest plugin for looping tests"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":321529,"position":7622,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.0.13"}
