pytest-profiling: File name can become too long on Windows

[danielschenk]

I have a parametrized test of which one of the invocations uses a (fairly long) byte string as input.
Because pytest tries to print parametrized tests in the most useful way, this byte string ends up in the full test name, which pytest-profiling then uses for the file with the profiling results. This causes an issue on Windows which (unfortunately) has a fairly short file name length limit:

Is this something pytest-profiling could handle in some way? It would be a pity if I could not write tests like this one and profile them 🤔

Thanks for raising - yes the plugin should truncate the name on Windows. Sorry for the ridiculously long time to reply!
