Inconsistent Testing Reports #25631
Description
Type: Bug
Behaviour
Testing shows a passed pytest test, even though subtests failed.
Steps to reproduce:
- Create
test_foo.pywith following content:
def test_bar(subtests):
# with subtests.test("True"):
# assert True
with subtests.test("ValueError"):
raise ValueError()
- Set up testing to discover test
- run test & see that it shows as failed (expected)
- now uncomment the first subtest
- run test & see that for whatever reason it shows as passed, even though nothing was changed about the second test.
