-vv should not override --durations-min

[JulianJvn]

What's the problem this feature will solve?

I'd like pytest to give the full output on test failures for debugging purposes (by specifying -vv) while still being able to print the durations of tests and fixtures that exceed a given threshold (by using --durations-min).

• It's not documented neither in pytest --help nor in the documentation that --durations-min has no effect if -vv is specified. I had to look at pytest's code to learn this:

  pytest/src/_pytest/runner.py

  Line 93 in 3ef3c2d

  if verbose < 2 and rep.duration < durations_min:

  The documentation only says the default behavior is equivalent to --durations-min 0.005 to when -vv is not specified. It does not say custom --durations-min values have no effect if -vv is specified. So, if this issue is not implemented, it is at least a documentation bug.
• It's asymmetric/inconsistent that --durations still has effect if -vv specified, but --durations-min does not.
• It's unexpected that a more specific option like --durations-min is overridden by a less specific option like --verbose.

The options currently work like this, depending if they're specified (Y) or not (N) or if it doesn't matter whether they're specified or not (*):

--durations=N	--durations-min=X	-vv	Behavior
N	*	*	No durations are displayed
Y	N	N	Top N durations with duration ≥ 0.005s are displayed
Y	Y	N	Top N durations with duration ≥ X are displayed
Y	*	Y	Top N durations are displayed

Describe the solution you'd like

If --durations-min is explicitly specified, it should have precedence over -vv. The options could work like this:

--durations=N	--durations-min=X	-vv	Behavior
N	*	*	No durations are displayed
Y	N	N	Top N durations with duration ≥ 0.005s are displayed
Y	N	Y	Top N durations are displayed
Y	Y	*	Top N durations with duration ≥ X are displayed

Alternative Solutions

Another possibility that would work for me is removing the feature that -vv changes the default value of --durations-min, i.e., the options would be decoupled. The previous behavior could be easily restored with --durations-min=0. The options would then work like this:

--durations=N	--durations-min=X	-vv	Behavior
N	*	*	No durations are displayed
Y	N	*	Top N durations with duration ≥ 0.005s are displayed
Y	Y	*	Top N durations with duration ≥ X are displayed
