pytest-tags

The pytest-tags plugin provides a way to mark your tests with tags. This enhances pytest's built-in collection system so that you can tag tests across and within modules including test function level.

The tagging system works independently of the test names so it is not dependent on any regex magic.

Installation

To install pytest-tags using pip:

$ pip install git+https://github.com/Projectplace/pytest-tags

Usage

There are a couple of ways you can use --tags

• Run with a single tag
• Run with multiple tags
• Filter using tags
• Exclude tests

For the different options, please refer to the code-block at the bottom.

Single tag

Using --tags failure will run the test test_failed_login.

Using --tags login will run all the tests in the module except any excluded tags (more on that later).

Multiple tags

Using --tags failure password will run the tests test_failed_login and test_change_password.

Filter using tags

Using --tags failure+user will run the test test_failed_login.

Exclude tags

Using --tags user 'not failure' will run all the tests marked with user but exclude the ones marked with failure.

Note If you're using the pytest-selenium plugin and specify --driver you can mark tests with the browser name to avoid running tests against non-compatible browsers.

Example:

pytest --driver Firefox --tags user

will result in only test_failed_login being run.

import pytest

pytestmark = pytest.mark.tags("login")

@pytest.mark.tags("not firefox", "user")
def test_login():

@pytest.mark.tags("failure", "user")
def test_failed_login():

@pytest.mark.tags("password")
def test_change_password():
