Running tests in a boxed subprocess
-----------------------------------
If you have tests involving C or C++ libraries you might have to deal
with tests crashing the process. For this case you may use the boxing
options::
py.test --boxed
which will run each test in a subprocess and will report if a test
crashed the process. You can also combine this option with
running multiple processes to speed up the test run and use your CPU cores::
py.test -n3 --boxed
this would run 3 testing subprocesses in parallel which each
create new boxed subprocesses for each test.
This functionality has been moved to the
`pytest-forked <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-forked>`_ plugin, but the ``--boxed`` option
is still kept for backward compatibility.
