Known issues

gotchaitem_dict() can only be called after pytest session has collected items, typically after a test run or --collect-only.

fix

Ensure pytest session has run before calling item_dict().

affects: all

gotchaThe hierarchical dict keys are based on node IDs; custom keys require modifying the plugin.

fix

Use node IDs as keys or extend the plugin for custom keys.
