pytest-extra-markers

A pytest plugin to dynamically skip tests based on marks

Installation

pip install git+https://github.com/iwishiwasaneagle/pytest-extra-markers@master

Usage

Consider the following test scenario:

import pytest


# A
def test_speedy_unit_test():
    ...


# B
@pytest.mark.integration
def test_integration_test():
    ...


# C
@pytest.mark.slow_integration
def test_super_slow_integration_test():
    ...

You want to quickly run all your quick unit tests before committing. Then, after you are happy that the changes haven't messed up any unit tests you want to run the integration tests, and then after that your super slow integration tests. This would look like:

pytest
pytest --only-integration
pytest --only-slow-integration

In theory, your quick unit tests give you feedback instantly about anything that's been broken by your changes. After that, the slower integration tests can be run to have a more broad check.

Author's note My use cases is mainly for simulations, so the --only-slow-integration flag can sometimes take tens of minutes to run whereas an integration test might take milliseconds. Therefore, I made the distinction between the two.
