You control repetition either via the --count command-line flag (to repeat all collected tests) or by decorating individual tests with @pytest.mark.repeat(count). The plugin supports different repetition scopes (function, module, class, or session) to control whether tests repeat individually or in groups.\n\nIt's primarily useful for diagnosing intermittent or flaky tests by running them repeatedly until a failure occurs (often combined with pytest's -x flag to stop on first failure). The package has been stable since its early releases and supports modern Python versions (3.9+), though it does not work with unittest.TestCase classes.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you work with flaky or intermittent test failures. The plugin is stable, has low install friction, and solves a real problem in test diagnostics. The copyleft license is straightforward for most projects. Not necessary if your test suite is deterministic and reliable."},"id":"pytest-repeat","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pytest-repeat","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pytest-repeat.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pytest-repeat/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-04-07","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"pytest-repeat","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"pytest plugin for repeating tests"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":15509841,"position":1183,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.9.4"}
