ayu - making pytest more interactive

[Zaloog]

Hi everyone,
I just released a new version of ayu, a pytest plugin and tui in one.
With the new version, it also supports automatically rerunning of testfiles after changes were detected.

That's a interesting start

I like the ux its a nice starting point

I have some ideas and opinions on communication protocols and configuration passover but all of them may need refactoring in pytest or pytest -xdist

Hi @RonnyPfannschmidt,
thanks for the feedback.
I remember you mentioned unix socket files instead of websockets on discord, when I first posted about the project.
Since thats my first time doing anything with sockets, I am open to change the underlying protocol, if it makes more sense.

Are there specific advantages/disadvantages that unix sockets have over websockets?
I am also curious about your opinion on configuration passover, is there something specific you have in mind?
Would also be willing to help contributing to the refactoring.

Best regards
Lars

for example weith execnet and pytest-xdist we have native ways of running a pytest session in a process/python interpreter and receiving serialised reports as it runs
