Option to use counter instead of percentage for progress #3829
Description
With pytest (I'm currently using 3.6.1), there's support for showing progress of tests, but when running a collection of 1300 tests, each test contributes very little to the percentage. I'd prefer to be able to show the bare counter. Example (with space padding): test_whatever [ 1/1357]
In my framework, I'm monkey-patching pytest to get what I want, but it would be more maintainable if pytest supported that style officially.
My current monkey-patch:
def _get_progress(self):
"""
Report progress in number of tests, not percentage.
Since we have thousands of tests, 1% is still several tests.
"""
collected = self._session.testscollected
self._PROGRESS_LENGTH = len(' [%d/%d]' % (collected, collected))
if collected:
spacing = len(str(collected))
current = len(self._progress_nodeids_reported)
fmt = ' [{:%sd}/{}]' % spacing
return fmt.format(current, collected)
return ' []'
TerminalReporter._PROGRESS_LENGTH = len(' [9999/9999]')
TerminalReporter._get_progress_information_message = _get_progress
