Which xdist worker is running this test?

QuizMediumPython onlyAsked in: Accenture, Capgemini, Infosys, SaaS Labs, Swiggy, TCS

Each xdist worker should use its own test account. How does a fixture know which worker it is on?

  • Request the worker_id fixture from pytest-xdist; it is "gw0", "gw1" and so on, or "master" without xdist
  • Read os.getpid() and map it by hand
  • Workers cannot be told apart
  • Use threading.current_thread().name
