Pytest should printout the reason of test skipping inline.

[wb137]

AFAIK Pytest print results of tests in the form:

File1.py::Class1::test_1 PASSED                               [ 50%]
File2.py::Class2::test_2 SKIPPED                              [100%]

However it would be great if by adding before the test_2 the following line:

    @pytest.mark.skip('Class created not for Linux')
    def test_2(self,...

we could get the following result (inline skipped reason):

File1.py::Class1::test_1 PASSED                               [ 50%]
File2.py::Class2::test_2 SKIPPED: Class created not for Linux [100%]

where the reason is easy identified during displaying the result.
I didn't find a solution in the pytest options.
I've found that this can be achieved (definitely not perfect solution, but I am using it) by replacing one line in the file runner.py in the function pytest_report_teststatus:

def pytest_report_teststatus(report):
    if report.when in ("setup", "teardown"):
        if report.failed:
            #      category, shortletter, verbose-word
            return "error", "E", "ERROR"
        elif report.skipped:
            return "skipped", "s", "SKIPPED"
        else:
            return "", "", ""

by the following:

def pytest_report_teststatus(report):
    if report.when in ("setup", "teardown"):
        if report.failed:
            #      category, shortletter, verbose-word
            return "error", "E", "ERROR"
        elif report.skipped:
            return "skipped", "s", "SKIPPED" + ": "+str(report.longrepr[2][9:] )
        else:
            return "", "", ""

Thanks for the suggestion @wb137!

This would only be done in verbose mode then, yes?
