Dependency is skipped when I rename test within dependency.

2 files:

test_abc.py

import pytest


class TestAbc:
    @pytest.mark.dependency()
    def test_abc(self):
        assert False

and test_def.py:

import pytest


class TestDef:
    @pytest.mark.dependency(depends=['test_abc.py::TestAbc::test_abc'], scope='package')
    def test_def(self):
        pass

It works as expected now: test_abc fails, test_def is skipped.

When I rename test_def within dependency like this:

import pytest


class TestDef:
    @pytest.mark.dependency(depends=['test_abc.py::TestAbc::test_abc'], scope='package')
    @pytest.mark.dependency(name='test_two')
    def test_def(self):
        pass

actual behaviour is: test_abc fails, test_def passes - is that correct behaviour? Shouldn't test_def be skipped?

No. With pytest, you cannot apply the same marker twice to the same test. If you try to do so, the second instance of the marker will override the first one. So what your second version of test_def.py essentially does is:

import pytest

class TestDef:
    @pytest.mark.dependency(name='test_two')
    def test_def(self):
        pass

What you probably wanted to do is:

import pytest

class TestDef:
   @pytest.mark.dependency(name='test_two', depends=['test_abc.py::TestAbc::test_abc'], scope='package')
    def test_def(self):
        pass
