pytest-group-by-class 0.1.5

A Pytest plugin for running a subset of your tests by splitting them in to groups of classes.

Welcome to pytest-group-by-class!

pytest-group-by-class allows you to split your test runs into groups of tests that belongs to the same class to make it easier to split up your test runs.

Usage

# Install pytest-group-by-class
pip install pytest-group-by-class

# Split the tests into groups based on class and run the second group
py.test --test-group-class --test-group-class-id 2

# Split the tests into groups based on class and run the tests belonging ot class NameOfTheClassToBeExecuted
py.test --test-group-class --test-group-class-name NameOfTheClassToBeExecuted

Why would I use this?

Sometimes you may have some long running test jobs that take a while to complete. This can be a major headache when trying to run tests quickly. pytest-group-by-class allows you to easily say "split my tests into groups of classes and run the second group". This is primarily useful in the context of CI builds.
