Hi @wilsonj24,

Can you describe this PR a bit more? If it's a bug fix, what is the issue? If it's an improvement, in what way?

I suggest also to add tests to pytest's testing/ which cover all of the branches. That would help to demonstrate the changes as well.

I did not see your edit (edits doesn't send notifications).

I think the next step is to add some tests to demonstrate what this changes, and notify the issue that you have a proposed fix.

Hi @wilsonj24,

First of all we would like to thank you for your time and effort on working on this, the pytest team deeply appreciates it.

We noticed it has been awhile since you have updated this PR, however. pytest is a high activity project, with many issues/PRs being opened daily, so it is hard for us maintainers to track which PRs are ready for merging, for review, or need more attention.

So for those reasons we think it is best to close the PR for now, but with the only intention to cleanup our queue, it is by no means a rejection of your changes. We still encourage you to re-open this PR (it is just a click of a button away) when you are ready to get back to it.

Again we appreciate your time for working on this, and hope you might get back to this at a later time!

Cheers!
