`add_report_section` in fixture teardown has no effect if dependent fixture failed

[sh-at-cs]

Short description

When a fixture fails during its setup, request.node.add_report_section calls made in the teardown sections of its (fixture) dependencies are "ignored", i.e. don't end up in the final report output printed to the terminal.

Minimal example

import pytest

@pytest.fixture
def fixture1(request):
    request.node.add_report_section('setup', 'hello', 'during setup')
    yield
    request.node.add_report_section('teardown', 'hello', 'during teardown')

@pytest.fixture
def fixture2(fixture1):
    assert False

def test_simple(fixture2):
    pass

Running this produces:

===================== ERRORS =====================
_________ ERROR at setup of test_simple __________

fixture1 = None

    @pytest.fixture
    def fixture2(fixture1):
>       assert False
E       assert False

test_foo.py:11: AssertionError
-------------- Captured hello setup --------------
during setup
============ short test summary info =============
ERROR test_foo.py::test_simple - assert False
================ 1 error in 0.04s ================

Expected behavior

There should be another section Captured hello teardown with content during teardown.

Actual behavior

See above: Only the setup report section ended up in the final report.

Additional notes

Note that the teardown section does run, as can be checked by having it write to a file or something like that. Only adding something to the report doesn't work.

Related issues

• During teardown, it's not possible to use request.node.add_report_section #1448
  • I adapted the code for the minimal example from this one, which seems to have been fixed long ago. The only difference is that, in this new issue here, a dependent fixture fails instead of a dependent test.
