Pytest Dryrun Plugin

A Pytest plugin to ignore tests during collection without reporting them in the test summary.

Installation

With Pip

$ pip install pytest-dryrun
Successfully installed pytest-dryrun-0.1.0

Usage

When the --dryrun flag is passed to Pytest, only tests marked with dryrun will be collected and run.

@pytest.mark.dryrun
def test_thing_one():
    """This test will be run, even during dryruns"""
    box = get_box()
    assert "thing one" in box

def test_thing_two():
    """This test will not by run if the `--dryrun` flag is given to Pytest"""
    box = get_box()
    assert "thing two" in box

Tests can also be marked with dryrun using the library's export:

from pytest_dryrun import dryrun

@dryrun
def test_thing_one():
    box = get_box()
    assert "thing one" in box

If the --no-dryrun flag is given, only tests not marked with dryrun will be collected, meaning that in the example above, only test_thing_two will be run.

The --dryrun and --no-dryrun arguments are mutually-exclusive.
