Thank you again.  What I really want is a way to ask Pytest, from inside a 
fixture or other python class, "hey Pytest, have you encountered any assertion 
failures during this session?"

Subject: Re: [pytest-dev] How can I suppress cleanups when a test fails


in case you use a orm/abstraction layer, sqlite in a tmpdir can be a wonderful 
companion

in case you use another db, you can actually have failures do a db/data dump if 
you like,

unfortunately i'm not aware of a tmp_path alike db setup/teardown tool

Thank you.  This might be helpful, but I also have other resources that are not 
files that I would like to selectively clean up or not.  These resources are in 
a relational DB, not a file system.  And no, I can't just wrap everything in a 
big transaction and then roll it back, unfortunately.

Hi Christopher,

if you use the tmpdir/tmp_path fixtures pytest provides,
just don't do additional cleanup, pytest keeps the last 3 basetemps around 
precisely for that use-case and drops older ones

My test suit generates some intermediate files and other resources which 
typically would be deleted upon termination of the test.  However, if there is 
a failure, I would like to leave them in place to help in diagnosing the 
failure.

Is there a clean way to do this?

I'm already using a fixture to do cleanup, so I'm prepared to use some aspect 
of the fixture if that's appropriate.

Thanks,
