I found that -n 0 was not properly documented, just in this mention in the "how to" guide:

When ``xdist`` is disabled (running with ``-n0`` for example), then
``worker_id`` will return ``"master"``.

Plus some error messages and docstrings like:

if not val("collectonly") and _is_distribution_mode(config) and usepdb:
raise pytest.UsageError(
"--pdb is incompatible with distributing tests; try using -n0 or -nauto."
)

This PR makes it explicit. I don't think a changelog entry is required.

  • Make sure to include reasonable tests for your change if necessary

  • We use towncrier for changelog management, so please add a news file into the changelog folder following these guidelines:

    • Name it $issue_id.$type for example 588.bugfix;

    • If you don't have an issue_id change it to the PR id after creating it

    • Ensure type is one of removal, feature, bugfix, vendor, doc or trivial

    • Make sure to use full sentences with correct case and punctuation, for example:

      Fix issue with non-ascii contents in doctest text files.
