how to share rich.progress in pytest with xdist?

[megetron3]

running the below in pytest works as expected but when using it with xdist (pytest -n auto) the progress bars are run one over the other.

debug it shows that each time i use add_task, it returns id 0 instead of incriminating it.

sys.stdout = sys.stderr
@pytest.fixture(scope="session")
def progress():
    with Progress() as progress:
        yield progress

@pytest.mark.parametrize("test_name, total_steps, delay", [
    ("test_1", 50, 0.5),  # Test 1 with 50 steps and 0.5s delay
    ("test_2", 100, 0.2),  # Test 2 with 100 steps and 0.2s delay
])
def test_progress(test_name, total_steps, delay, progress):
    with progress:
        task = progress.add_task(f"[cyan]{test_name}", total=total_steps)
        for step in range(total_steps):
            time.sleep(delay)  # Simulate work
            progress.update(task, advance=1, description=f"{test_name} {step + 1}% (STEP {step})")

please help

There is only a single stdout on a process. So running on multiple processes is going to break things.

A solution would be to create a Console, where file=io.StringIO(), so the output goes to memory.
