> Newcomers to cassandra-dtest that look through README.md will see that the run_dtests.py script is the quickest way to get started running tests. Unfortunately, the script has a number of problems and I'm not sure it ever work properly after the move to the pytest framework.
> h2. Process stdout/stderr buffering
> Firstly, when I execute run_dtests.py I don't see any output after
> {{$ ./run_dtests.py --dtest-tests paging_test.py }}
> {{============================= test session starts ==============================}}
> This looks likely to be because of the buffering that pytest does internally for stdout and stderr and because of the way that it's executed by run_dtests.py, i.e. I suspect that run_dtests.py is blocked on the following line for most of the execution because there's no data available in the pipe for stderr:
> {{stderr_output = sp.stderr.readline()}}
> See also [https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/1886]
> h2. --pytest-options doesn't work
> Secondly, the options specified in --pytest-options aren't actually passed through to pytest.
> h2. Most devs run pytest directly
> When I spoke to [~edimitrova] it seemed like most developers just run the tests directly with pytest which would explain why run_dtests.py has bitrotted.
