Exit pytest cleanly "mid" run

[BeyondEvil]

I'm looking for certain conditions in the pytest_sessionstart() hook and I want to be able to stop/exit/abort further execution in a clean way.

Any idea how I can accomplish this? Neither pytest.exit() or sys.exit()/exit() does it cleanly.

Thanks!

GitMate.io thinks possibly related issues are #1421 (Exit pytest if a collection error occours), #471 (pytest keeps running deleted tests), #3106 (Exit code 1 when pytest crashes on loading plugin), #3556 ([Question] Can I run pytest on a read-only filesystem?), and #3557 (Run pytest on read-only file systems).

Hi @BeyondEvil, what do you mean by "cleanly" exactly?

Raising session.Interrupted might be a solution.

@nicoddemus Sorry, I should've been clearer.

I basically want to exit with exitstatus 0 (zero) and no warnings/errors.

I'll try raising session.Interrupted, but from the sound of it that won't give me exitstatus 0...

I see, thanks for the clarification.

I don't think there's support for that out of the box currently.

I guess it could be implemented by adding a statuscode or returncode to pytest.exit().

@nicoddemus Hello there! Has there been any progress on adding the ability to control the exit code?

[nicoddemus]

@ofek not AFAIK. Seems it should be simple to implement if someone wants to give this a try. 😁

I'm closing this one in favor of #4098 👍
