10/20/2022, 4:04 PMYeah that’s what I mean

10/20/2022, 4:04 PMWas wondering if it would be possible to cache at the individual test function level

10/20/2022, 4:23 PMthere are pytest plugins for that, I believe, then you “just” need to figure out how to plug those through into each invocation..

10/20/2022, 5:04 PMIt might not be very useful to cache those since dependency resolution won't be able to figure out which dependencies correspond to each test and always rerun (all / none) of them. It helps with rerunning flaky tests though.
