Description

I try to find the slowest test in my testing suite with the parameter --durations=2 in py.test

The problem is i received that output

========================== slowest 2 test durations ===========================
build 08-Jul-2016 08:46:49 0.04s setup >models/test_stack_template.py::TestStackIntegration::test_render_create_from_snapshot_with_validation
build 08-Jul-2016 08:46:49 0.01s setup >models/test_stack_controller.py::TestStackController::test_delete_a_new_stack_during_update
=================================== FAILURES ===================================

Is there a equivalent for xdist or is it possible to send the duration back to py.test so that it is proper displayed?

The duration of a single tests are usually between 3-7 minutes

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported output with pytest's --durations=2 option under xdist, using a distributed test suite with tests lasting several minutes. Trace how test durations are collected and displayed, then verify that the slowest-test report shows accurate durations or clearly communicates the limitation.
