# Debugging
- See "Test Artifacts" chapter in README first, for real!
- If test hangs on startup or exits one minute after start - most probably servers did not start. That's typically a config error.
- `pytest --log-level DEBUG` should show which server does not respond to TCP queries
- See also `pytest.log.txt` in directory with artifacts.

# Magic variables
Pytest has framework for providing 'context' to tests in a consistent manner. Their term for it is 'fixture' and it manifests itself as a function parameter with name which is nowhere to be found. See https://docs.pytest.org/en/7.1.x/explanation/fixtures.html
