Repeat decorator

[Peque]

Is it currently possible to mark a test with a decorator to be run multiple times?

In example:

@pytest.repeat(10)
def test_repeated_10():
    assert True

So when executing pytest only the tests that are marked with the decorator are run multiple times.

I see you opened #16 already - I think this definitely should go to that plugin rather than pytest core.

Argh! Nevermind me. I thought this was the core repository, my bad! 😆

Do we have this repeat decorator?

[RonnyPfannschmidt]

no

[shreyashah]

any plans to bring it in?

[The-Compiler]

This is all voluntary work, so if nobody steps up, nothing will happen 😉 Help welcome!

If anyone wants to tackle this, it should be just a matter of changing this part of the code:

pytest-repeat/pytest_repeat.py

Lines 38 to 39 in 3d6230e

	def pytest_generate_tests(metafunc):
	count = metafunc.config.option.count

To also get the mark from the metafunc.function object and use that if the mark is present:

def pytest_generate_tests(metafunc):
    count = metafunc.config.option.count
    mark = metafunc.function.get_closest_mark('repeat')
    if mark:
        count = mark.args[0]
    ...

Plus tests and update the README.

(all the above is untested, but it shouldn't be far off)

[shreyashah]

Sure, let me try doing this and create a PR. Thanks.

See #22.

@shreyashah Hope you do not mind. 😊

@Peque : Oh absolutely, no! Thank you for bringing this in. I had this in my local env, but pushed to open a PR.
