<div dir="ltr">Hi Tony,<div><br></div><div>I do this regularly and it works quite well. However, I have been caught by environment variables not being forwarded by Tox by default. Check `passenv` and `setenv` environment settings.</div><div><br></div><div>Also, this may be unrelated to your problem, but since you mentioned running on Windows, I'd advise paying close attention to child process cleanup. By default, Windows does not automatically terminte child processes when the parent process dies. If you start any long-running background processes (e.g. some kind of server process managed by a session fixture), it can end up dangling after (repeated) CTRL-C or a forceful kill of the Python process.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div><br></div><div>André</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Mon, Oct 1, 2018 at 8:59 PM Bruno Oliveira <<a href="mailto:nicoddemus@gmail.com">nicoddemus@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Hi Tony,<div><br></div><div>There's nothing in pytest that prevents you to spawn subprocesses.
