Order test execution

[Formartha]

Hi folks,

I tried searching about it, but I found very little information.
my use case relays on the fact that I need to order couple of test cases to run one after the other.

what I did till now is to provide numbering and the 0-9, A-Z kicked in and it worked.
however, I'm sure that it's not the correct way to go..

any plugin that does it? any other way of doing it?

Thanks,
-M

GitMate.io thinks possibly related issues are #2861 (Question re: order of execution of test fixtures), #2305 (Sandboxed test execution fails when any plugin is installed), #1527 (show deselected info after collected info and before test execution), #805 (Fixture execution order ), and #3198 (Ignore individual tests).

https://pytest-ordering.readthedocs.io/en/develop/ is one way that exists

Thanks @RonnyPfannschmidt! the problem is, that in our setup, we are using 1-file per test.
So, it won't work :(

[RonnyPfannschmidt]

@Formartha please elaborate your use case a bit more in detail, without at least a basic idea of the structure i cant give sound advise

[Formartha]

Sure,
my use case is that I have a lot of tests but all of them are 1 test per 1 file.
I'm giving pytest the ability to pick up all the tests from a directory and start execution.

In reality, pytest knows what's the amount of collected tests and should support execution by parameter.

unfortunately thats a description of technical and structural details including a proposed solution,
a use-case description avoids that

to explain why i understood i that way i will present a analogy
from my point of view what you presented did read like user can log in using kerberos thats configured for server x to me - what i was looking for was something reading like ´users can log in using a trusted 3rd party service

Sorry, I didn't got your response..

the use case is as I wrote.
as a user, I would like to run multiple permutations of test locations (test class with tests in it, test file etc.) and set the priority of all the collected test cases.

The pytest-ordering plugin allows you to set test case priority.
