CI/TST: Better information about the tests in azure-pipelines

[datapythonista]

Copying from astropy/astropy#8445 (comment)

If you install the newest version of pytest-azurepipelines (1.0.0rc1) https://pypi.org/project/pytest-azurepipelines/1.0.0rc1/ I've switched the output from Junit to Nunit XML as its better supported in Azure Pipelines.
You can then run this Azure plugin https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=AnthonyShaw.vss-pytest and you get an extra tab in the UI with all the information from the Pytest run, including skip reasons, fail reasons, fixtures, versions, parameters.

I guess we want this.

+1 for this - do we just have to wait for a pytest-azurepipelines release

I hooked up Azure Pipelines to my pandas repo and verified everything was working correctly. Then, I modified azure-pipelines.yml to just run the windows tests and committed the change. The windows CI tests ran. Next, I committed an update which set pytest-azurepipelines=v1.0.0rc1 in azure-windows-36.yaml and azure-windows-37.yaml. The windows CI tests ran a second time.

Information displayed on the pytest tab is identical between the two CI runs.

Based on the comment above, I expected to see some additional/richer information on the pytest tab. Maybe I'm missing something?

No idea, can you share a link to this tab please?

Do we still need some work on this? I worked with pytest-azurepipelines on Azure DevOps before, but I do not know how to access the Pandas CI/CD pipeline. Can someone maybe point me in the right direction?
