No output while setup is running

[mbrt]

If a test has a long setup fixture, it takes a long time before the first test is executed. Without pytest-sugar, pytest already outputs the test name itself, so you get immediate feedback of what test is trying to execute. With pytest-sugar you get no output, so it appears to be stuck (but it's instead waiting for the setup to complete).

Command used to run py.test

py.test test_example.py

Test file

import time
import pytest

@pytest.fixture
def long_setup():
    time.sleep(10)

def test(long_setup):
    pass

Output

The output is correct, but for 10 seconds the screen looks like this:

Test session starts (platform: linux, Python 3.6.4, pytest 3.3.2, pytest-sugar 0.9.0)
rootdir: /home/micheleb/local/test/pytest, inifile:
plugins: sugar-0.9.0

Expected instead:

Test session starts (platform: linux, Python 3.6.4, pytest 3.3.2, pytest-sugar 0.9.0)
rootdir: /home/micheleb/local/test/pytest, inifile:
plugins: sugar-0.9.0

my 2c : this is also problematic for long running tests.

I'm using hypothesis which does property testing: a single test is run many times against randomly generated data. This way a single test can take multiple seconds so outputting it name before it result is really important (especially working with async or threads where deadlocks can occurs).

Maybe it could display an ellipsis ("…") for the setup phase already? Would be good if this could get deferred, e.g. so that it only happens after e.g. 0.5s.

I think this was solved.

Let me know if it is still relevant
