pytest_tagging 1.6.0

a pytest plugin to tag tests

pytest-tagging

pytest plugin that allows tagging tests using arbitrary strings.

It supports selecting only tests with a specific tag, and displays a counter of how many tests failed for each specific tag.

This package exists because doing all of this with pytest.mark is painful, since it requires registering marks, and you cannot use variables defined elsewhere easily.

Usage

@pytest.mark.tags("JIRA-XX", "integration", constants.COMPONENT_X)
def test_foo():
    assert False

Invocation:

pytest --tags integration --tags MY_COMPONENT_NAME

By default, all tests that match at least one tag will be collected. To only select tests that have all the provided tags, use the option --tags-operand=AND, like so:

pytest --tags integration --tags MY_COMPONENT_NAME --tags-operand AND

You can also display all available tags by specifying --tags empty:

pytest --tags
>>Available tags:
>>foo
>>bar

Combining tags

Tags can be combined using pytest_tagging.combine_tags:

from pytest_tagging import combine_tags
combine_tags("all", "foo", "bar")

Then you can execute pytest --tags all and it will run all tests with foo and bar tags

Excluding tags

You can exclude tags for a particular test run by using the option --exclude-tags in a similar way to the --tags option. Notice tests with tags that are excluded will not be executed, even if they contain a tag that was selected with --tags.

Extra

• It is thread-safe, so it can be used with pytest-parallel.
