Description

Hi,
Can someone please help with pytest-xdist with ansible tests?

my test suite contains both ansible and non-ansible tests, Issue is if my inventory file contains multiple hosts then the test runs on each host the number of times same as the number of host count.

For example, say we have 3 redis nodes that we want to test against.
test_redis_connection (non-ansible)
test_redis_put (non-ansible)
test_redis_get (non-ansible)
test_redis_delete (non-ansible)
test_redis_ansible <- this test will run 9 times

but we would like it to execute 3 times (one host per thread, same as non-ansible)

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, configuration, or entry points. Start by reproducing the mixed Ansible and non-Ansible suite with three inventory hosts and pytest-xdist, then trace how host and worker collection interact; done means the Ansible test runs once per host rather than once for every host-worker combination.
