Description

I use loadgroup, -n=8 and add mark xdist_group("groupname"). Can I just collect tests by workers? I want to see how pytest-xdist distribute tests by group.

Research direction

The issue asks whether pytest-xdist can show how tests are distributed when using loadgroup, -n=8, and xdist_group("groupname"). Review the existing guidance for these options and determine whether worker-level collection or distribution can be inspected. Document the supported procedure and its expected output, if available.
