--verbose should report why a test case was skipped

I'm glad that py.test is now putting 's'es into results when it skips a test but it would be nice to know if it's because it's a @pytest.mark.destructive test, excluded due to a -m "not X", or explicitly weeded out by a py.test plugin and given py.test.skip("message"). I would imagine the message text would be provided when using --verbose.

Thanks!

Just a hint: We are using

#!sh

py.test -v -rs

which prints the reason for skipping the tests in a summary at the end of its output.

Hi @klrmn,

Is using -rs satisfactory? Can we close this issue?

i'm not actually still using pytest, so if nobody else has spoken up, you
can close it.

Option -rs does the job
