[pytest-dev] Slow startup

2017-03-07 Thread Joel Nothman
Hi all, I'm very excited to finally jump on board the pytest movement. And yet I'm getting latencies of 7+ seconds just starting up pytest (i.e. running `mkdir empty; time pytest empty`). It seems some part of pluggy operation is the culprit, according to a profile. platform darwin -- Python 3.5

Hey, * Joel Nothman [2017-03-08 17:10:48 +1100]: > plugins: mpl-0.7, cov-2.4.0 Can you try if uninstalling those (or perhaps starting with "-p no:mpl no:cov") helps? Florian -- http://www.the-compiler.org | [email protected] (Mail/XMPP) GPG: 916E B0C8 FD55 A072 | http://the-compiler.or

Thanks for the quick reply, Florian, Yes, this helps. Overhead is reduced to 0.7s if I disable both plugins. Keeping cov only takes about 2s. Keeping mpl only takes about 7s. Neither of these seems satisfactory, frankly, but I'll go take up my issue with pytest_mpl. On 8 March 2017 at 17:14,
