pytest-order 0.9.2

pytest plugin to run your tests in a specific order

pytest-order - a pytest plugin to order test execution

pytest-order is a pytest plugin that allows you to customize the order in which your tests are run. It uses the marker order that defines when a specific test shall be run relative to the other tests.

pytest-order works with Python 2.7 and 3.5 - 3.9, with pytest versions >= 3.7.0, and runs on Linux, MacOs and Windows.

Documentation

Apart from this overview, the following information is available:

• usage documentation for the latest release
• usage documentation for the current master
• the Release Notes with a list of changes in the latest versions

History

This is a fork of pytest-ordering. That project is not maintained anymore, and there are several helpful PRs that are now integrated into pytest-order. The idea and most of the code has been created by Frank Tobia, the author of that plugin, and contributors.

Compatibility with pytest_ordering

pytest-order is not compatible with pytest-ordering due to the changed marker name (order instead of run). Only the order marker is supported, support for all additional markers has been removed for consistence (as has been discussed in this issue).

Overview

(from the original project)

Have you ever wanted to easily run one of your tests before any others run? Or run some tests last? Or run this one test before that other test? Or make sure that this group of tests runs after this other group of tests?

Now you can.

Install with:

pip install pytest-order

This defines the order marker that you can use in your code with different attributes.

For example, this code:

import pytest

@pytest.mark.order(2)
def test_foo():
    assert True

@pytest.mark.order(1)
def test_bar():
    assert True

yields the output:

$ py.test test_foo.py -vv
