--pdb drops you into pdb if you have an xfail

as reported by fijal

i also think xfails shouldnt trigger the debugger unless requested

Just tested this with:

import pytest
@pytest.mark.xfail(reason="bad test")
def test_example():
    assert False

and running it I get the following output:

D:\Example>py3 -m pytest --pdb
============================= test session starts =============================
platform win32 -- Python 3.3.3 -- pytest-2.5.2.dev1
collected 1 items

test_xxx.py x

========================== 1 xfailed in 0.03 seconds ==========================

So I think this issue has already been resolved.

This has been tested on Windows 7 x64 SP1 with full updates. Python and pytest versions may be seen in the output quoted above.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,

Thanks, Jurko. I vaguely remember this has been fixed some time ago, indeed.
