Use @pytest.mark.only to run a single test

Project description

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

Usage

Use it on functions

import pytest

def test_that_will_not_run():
    assert 0

@pytest.mark.only
def test_that_will_run():
    assert 1
$ py.test -v test_example.py

============================= test session starts ==============================

=========================== 1 passed in 0.00 seconds ===========================

Or use it on classes

import pytest

class TestThatWillNotRun:
    def test_that_will_not_run(self):
        assert 0


@pytest.mark.only
class TestThatWillRun:
    def test_that_will_run(self):
        assert 1
$ py.test -v test_example.py

Or use it on modules

# test_example.py

pytestmark = pytest.mark.only

def test_that_will_run():
    assert 1
# test_example2.py
def test_that_will_not_run():

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
