Python Testing with pytest

Listing Markers

We’ve covered a lot of markers in this chapter. We used the builtin markers skip, skipif, and xfail. We created our own markers, smoke, exception, finish, and num_cards. There are also a few more builtin markers. And as we start using pytest plugins, those plugins may also include some markers.

To list all the markers available, including descriptions and parameters, run pytest --markers:

$ cd /path/to/code/ch6/multiple
$ pytest --markers
@pytest.mark.smoke: subset of tests

@pytest.mark.exception: check for expected exceptions

@pytest.mark.finish: all of the "cards finish" related tests

@pytest.mark.num_cards: number of cards to prefill for cards_db fixture

...

@pytest.mark.skip(reason=None): ...
