I'm using Pycharm for this years Advent of Code and I'm using pytest for testing all of the examples and output.
I'd prefer it if pytest didn't create the .cache directories throughout my directory tree. Is there anyway to disable the creation of .cache directories when tests fail?

The pytest-cache plugin adds a config. cache object during the configure-initialization of pytest. This allows other plugins, including conftest.py files, to safely and flexibly store and retrieve values across test runs because the config object is available in many places.
By default, PyCharm stores user-specific files for each IDE instance (configuration, caches, plugins, logs, and so on) in the user's home directory.
There are two basic options:
disable the caching altogether (the caching is done with the cacheprovider plugin):
pytest -p no:cacheprovider -p is used to disable plugins.
changing the cache location by tweaking the cache-dir configuration option (requires pytest 3.2+)
Sets a directory where stores content of cache plugin. Default directory is .cache which is created in rootdir. Directory may be relative or absolute path. If setting relative path, then directory is created relative to rootdir.
Here is a sample PyCharm run configuration with the no:cacheprovider:
