only decorator

[kharandziuk]

I'm debugging one test which fails. Is there a way to mark only one test to run?

something like:

@pytest.only # it doesn't work
def test_some_test():
  ...

it looks like there is no such feature. is it a kind of design decision? or can I create a pr?

GitMate.io thinks possibly related issues are #2702 (PY3 only: assumes that argument (from decorator) is a fixture), #129 (Test functions with decorators are collected in wrong order), #697 (Support for the Michele Simionato's 'decorator' module.), #2001 (Using fixture decorator as a function), and #2404 (Class decorator marks multiple classes).

Hi @kharandziuk,

There are a number of ways:

1. pytest test_file.py::test_some_test.
2. pytest -k test_some_test.
3. Mark the test with @pytest.mark.something and run with pytest -m something.

I suggest to take a look at the documentation for running specific tests.

I'm closing this for now but feel free to follow with further questions.
