[IbraheemAlquraishy]

hello guys,on my job i made an api interface for our automation suite so it make interacting with it through pipelines easier i thought why wont i create a more general approach to it

i'm new to creating plugins and sharing it yet alone open source project. I'm not expecting much of it but just a weekend project for me

Hi I took a quick look and must recommend a rewrite

The plugin should use the pytest command line main hook to run as alternative to pytests normal execution and it should start subprocesses to avoid stale imports

[IbraheemAlquraishy]

@RonnyPfannschmidt is there a difference between subprocesses and multiprocessing? according to gemini multiprocessing allow shared memory that's why i used it in the dev branch

[RonnyPfannschmidt]

Multiprocessing doesn't safely support shared memory and is technically impossible to have memory residuals on non positive platforms

A confused ai model is a bad data source for technical detail

@RonnyPfannschmidt but subprocess does not allow me to run a python func (unless i put it in a separate file),is it much cleaner to use multiprocessing since im looking for an async api?
