Pants

Is there a way for `pants test` specifically `pytest` to be able to export some contents from the sandbox? E.g. there is a plugin we are using (<https://allurereport.org/>) that outputs some data in the sandbox dir, wondering how we can get to it. It functions in a similar way to coverage - generating html output

only option i can think of is to specify the output directory in pytest args, but i don’t know if that will work if the dir is outside sandbox

Anything you cause to be emitted under `extra-output/` in the sandbox will get copied out to `dist/`

For example, `./pants test tests/:: -- --html=extra-output/report.html` tells pytest to emit its html report to that path, which pants will then copy to `dist/report.html`

Well, actually some path under `dist/`, but a predictable one

So as long as you can tell the plugin to write under `extra-output/` (relative to the sandbox cwd)...
