Description
I am searching around the issue database but did not find anything similar.
This is the first time when I am playing with ssh support of xdist plugin. So maybe I am doing something wrong.
My question is it possible to achieve my use case natively with pytest/pytest-xdist (or with other plugin)?
My use case is.
1, Run tests remotely (using --tx ssh=root@172.17.0.2)
2, Tests are generating some files on remote machine (in dir which I specified with rsyncdirs)
3, It would be good if the generated files can be rsyncked back to my host (into a specified dir) at the end of the test run. (this files are my test result files: log files, meta files)
Thanks for your answer

Research direction
Start by reviewing pytest-xdist's SSH transport and rsyncdirs handling for the --tx ssh=root@172.17.0.2 scenario. Determine whether generated files can be transferred to a specified host directory after remote tests finish; done means logs and metadata are rsynced back at the end of the run.
