pytest --sw doesn't remember failures when using subtests with @parametrize

[kalekundert]

Here's a short example:

# test_foo.py
import pytest

@pytest.mark.parametrize(
        'xs', [
            [True],
            [False],
        ],
)
def test_foo(xs, subtests):
    for x in xs:
        with subtests.test(x=x):
            assert x

When I run pytest --sw the first time, it runs both tests (as expected). As a sidenote, though, it does seem to miscount the tests. The summary at the end claims that 1 test failed and 2 passed, while the verbose output at the beginning claims that 1 failed and 3 passed (each parameter seems to be tested twice).

When I run pytest --sw for a second time, I expect it to skip the first parameter, which passed the first time. Instead, it reruns both parameters:

If I had to guess what was going on, I'd say that pytest thinks the test as a whole is passing even though some of the subtests are failing.

Yeah probably that's the reason.

The more I think subtests kinda needs to be integrated into the core, because other plugins (like sw) need to be aware of its functionality in order to work properly.
