Ctrl-T should show the list of currently running tests about pytest HOT 4 OPEN

PTest itself is not parallel/concurrent

However it's possibly a nice feature to have a hangup signal handler that triggers a hook which lets plugins inform the user of the current state

Pytest itself could return the current test In non-verbose mode

xdist could return the active test per gateway

As @RonnyPfannschmidt said, that feature would not make sense for pytest because it does not run tests in parallel (pytest-xdist and other plugins do, however).

I'm closing this for now, but another issue can be opened with a proposal for a new hook as outlined by @RonnyPfannschmidt. 👍

[...] but another issue can be opened with a proposal for a new hook [...]

I suggested a feature that would be potentially very useful.

How it is implemented and what hooks should be involved is an implementation detail.
I am not a PyTest developer and don't know what is the best way to implement this feature.
Developers should decide this, not me.

I don't know why this feature proposal was closed because this is a valid proposal for a needed, useful feature.
I don't know what hooks should be involved.

I didn't mean for you to open a new issue, sorry @yurivict.

I just think that we probably should work on a proposal for the hook in a separate issue, otherwise this tends to get "lost" in the midst of unrelated discussion.

But in retrospect I should not have closed this, as you mention, indeed this describes the feature, which is independent on how it will end up being actually implemented.
