Do Not Truncate Crash Messages In Short Test Summary on CI

[sommersoft]

Fixes #9920

This skips crash message truncation, if a CI environment variable is set and truthy.

Should this be mentioned in the docs, maybe as a note? https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/blob/main/doc/en/how-to/output.rst#producing-a-detailed-summary-report

Thanks to blueyed for some hints in #5284.

Thanks a lot @sommersoft!

Left a few suggestions, please take a look.

Not sure it is needed, but feel free to write a .. note:: at the end of that section if you like. 👍

Thanks, looks great!

Feel free to add yourself to the AUTHORS file btw.

[sommersoft]

Fixed the merge conflicts (hopefully).

Maybe at some point. This was a tiny change, but I appreciate the sentiment.

Thanks again @sommersoft !

Which version of pytest will this be in?

Which version of pytest will this be in?

The next feature release, i.e., 7.2.

[jainshilpi]

Which python version does it need? It seems it can work with 3.9. If I use python version 3.9 and install pytest version 7.2:
python3.9 -m pip install --user pytest==7.2 , it says this version does not exist. What are the requirements to use this pytest version?

[The-Compiler]

@jainshilpi There has not been a 7.2 release yet, so that's correct - but not related to your Python version. See #10045.

(For the record, the supported Python versions are documented here: Python version support. At the time of writing, 3.7+ is supported.)

[jainshilpi]

I see, thanks for the pointers. I suppose I'll have to wait till then? Or is there a quick fix to this issue of truncated messages at the end?

[The-Compiler]

You could maybe set COLUMNS to some high value in your environment, or install pytest from git.

Really appreciate you adding this fix!

I'm new to pytest, but should "CI" and "BUILD_NUMBER" be added to the "Environment Variables" section of the reference?

Good idea, created #10690 to track that. PRs are welcome! 😁
