Aiohttp: pytest-aiohttp + pytest-xdist causa RuntimeError: set_wakeup_fd solo funciona en el hilo principal

Larga historia corta

Al combinar pytest-aiohttp y pytest-xdist veces se desencadena un error desde el accesorio loop .

Avísame si crees que el problema está más en el lado de pytest (-xdist).

Comportamiento esperado

No hay error.

pasos para reproducir

He copiado el mismo archivo de prueba 10 veces (solo para tener algunas pruebas con las que trabajar).

async def test_foo(loop):
    assert 42 == 42

Utilizo bash para ejecutar pytest varias veces hasta que falla:

while pytest tests/ -n auto -v; do :; done

No estoy seguro de por qué, pero la bandera detallada parece afectarlo: -v
