Not skipping a test when parent test skips or xfails

[saveshodhan]

Would you mind having a cli switch that allows us to NOT skip the test if the parent tests are marked as skip or xfail?

I am building a framework that uses this plugin, in which we skip tests if test that they are dependent on, fails - for e.g., if an HTTP API fails, there's no point in going ahead and checking its values in database. but there are times when we dont have to make that API call, yet somehow check in the database. in that case, we would like to have this switch (something like --ignore-skipped-tests) that will let us skip the API test case but continue to run the database test case.

I can think of having separate switches for skip and xfail.

What are your views on this? If this seems ok, I can submit a PR for the same.

Thanks! :v:
