Only run tests marked with @pytest.mark.only. If none are marked, all tests run as usual.

Borrowed from mocha.

Installation

pip install pytest-only

import pytest

def test_that_will_not_run():
    assert 0

    assert 1

Disable for single test run

To run all the tests, regardless of whether @pytest.mark.only is used, pass the --no-only flag to pytest:

$ py.test --no-only

If --no-only has already been passed (perhaps by way of addopts in pytest.ini), use the --only flag to re-enable it:

$ py.test --no-only --only

Development

  1. Install the test/dev requirements

    $ pip install -r dev-requirements.txt
  2. Run the tests

    $ py.test
  3. Run the tests on all currently-supported platforms

    $ tox
