Solution
Have you tried pytest-ipdb?
Looks like it's exactly what you are looking for?
Problem
I want to use ipdb instead of pdb with py.test --pdb option. Is this possible? If so, how? Clearly, I can use `import ipdb; ipdb.set_trace()` in the code but that requires to run the test, watch it fail, open a file, find the point of failure in said file, write the above line, re-run the tests. Lots of hassle if I could have something that by passes all of that.
