How should xdist be gracefully exited mid run when some exception occurs

[symonk]

I have a scenario where I am applying some logic during an xdist -n=X run on the master node and sometimes explicitly on GW0 (tho i might refactor that to a plugin and have master handle it). In the event that something has gone wrong, how should I gracefully exit pytest/xdist across all workers?

Is there a simple means of doing this? I'm achieving it through some hacky methods at the moment and I'm wondering if there is actually a proper mechanism for handling it

I didn't try it, but maybe pytest.exit() will do the trick? Don't remember the details right now.

thanks, will have a try with it
