Root Cause

The teardown phase of a fixture or test raised an exception. This often happens when cleanup code (closing connections, deleting files) fails due to prior test failures or resource leaks.

generic

中文

夹具或测试的清理阶段抛出异常。这通常发生在清理代码（关闭连接、删除文件）因先前测试失败或资源泄漏而失败时。

Workarounds

  1. 85% success 
    @pytest.fixture
def resource():
    r = acquire()
    yield r
    try:
        r.release()
    except Exception as e:
        logging.warning(f'Teardown failed: {e}')
  2. 88% success 
    @pytest.fixture
def resource(request):
    r = acquire()
    def cleanup():
        try:
            r.release()
        except Exception:
            pass
    request.addfinalizer(cleanup)
    return r

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 90% fail

    This flag only affects collection errors, not teardown errors. The teardown failure will still be reported.

  2. 95% fail

    This leaves resources open, causing cascading failures in subsequent tests (e.g., database locks, port conflicts).
