Terminal writing with a single test produces "collected 1 item s"

[asottile]

I'm using Terminal in ubuntu 16.04

The pytest versions are listed in the screenshot. My repository contains a single test.

I did some debugging work and it does seem it is placing the \r characters properly (to clear the line) but it doesn't seem to be clearing the entire contents (leaving artifacts from the previous writes).

It seems that the final print needs to have space padding to cover the previous writes?

@nicoddemus i recall that we got a fix in for that recently, did it by chance happen on master in the release window

[asottile]

I also tried on master (where I was poking with the code)

[RonnyPfannschmidt]

#2571 was supposed to fix this, i suppose thats solution is incorrect after all

[RonnyPfannschmidt]

i see now - #2579 records that the issue wasnt solved

[asottile]

Ah cool, #2579 looks like an exact dupe, I'll follow that issue instead!
