A plugin that allows you to loop tests for a user-defined amount of time.

Requirements
------------

Only tested with `Pytest`_ version 5.2.2.


Installation
------------

You can install "pytest-stress" via `pip`_ from `PyPI`_ (highly recommend installing in a `Pipenv`_)::

$ pip3 install pytest-stress

Usage
-----

Loop tests for 30 seconds::

    $ pytest --seconds 30

Loop tests for 45 minutes::

    $ pytest --minutes 45

Loop tests for 8 hours::

    $ pytest --hours 8

Loop tests for 1 hour 8 minutes and 9 seconds::

    $ pytest --hours 1 --minutes 8 --seconds 9

Need to wait some time after each test loop? Don't say I don't love you::

    $ pytest --delay 5 --hours 4 --minutes 30

You can also add these values to config files::

    [pytest]
    addopts = --hours 1 --minutes 30

Note: These loop times include setup and teardown operations as well. So if you have a test setup that takes 5
seconds, your actual tests will run for 5 seconds less than your desired time.

Contributing
------------
Contributions are very welcome! Tests can be run with `tox`_, please ensure
the coverage at least stays the same before you submit a pull request.
