pytest-hidecaptured

I write tests that generate a lot of debug messages to console and file. pytest captures all output from tests and displays them when a test fails. This behavior is exacerbated when there are a large number of tests within a test run. Since I already log these messages to file I don't need pytest to display them on the console. I'd rather it showed me its own reports only.

This issue is further exacerbated when others run the same tests. All they care about is whether the test passed or failed and don't need to see the details. In case the test failed the debug log files already have the required information.

pytest-hidecaptured is a pytest plug-in that removes captured output so it is not displayed.
