Description
I have 2 remote servers and a master server, I send the test cases to those 2 remote servers with socket way and below is the test case ranning detail.
I want to group test cases by class and this class only runs on a remote server, so I use dist mode: loadscope, but I find that it does not work!
You can see below, the class TestStaffManagement ran by gw0 and gw1!!!

Research direction
Reproduce the reported behavior with pytest-xdist using --dist=loadscope and the shown class-based tests. Start by tracing how loadscope assigns test nodes to workers, then compare the worker assignments with the expected class grouping. Done means every test from a class is scheduled on one remote worker.
