pytest-skip-slow

A pytest plugin to skip @pytest.mark.slow tests by default. Include the slow tests with --slow.

Installation

$ pip install pytest-skip-slow

Usage

Example test_slow.py:

import pytest

def test_normal():
    pass

@pytest.mark.slow
def test_slow():
    pass

Normal pytest sessions skip slow tests:

(venv) $ pytest -v test_slow.py
========================= test session starts ==========================
collected 2 items                                                      

test_slow.py::test_normal PASSED                                 [ 50%]
test_slow.py::test_slow SKIPPED (need --slow option to run)      [100%]

===================== 1 passed, 1 skipped in 0.00s =====================

Include the slow tests with --slow:

(venv) $ pytest -v --slow test_slow.py
========================= test session starts ==========================
collected 2 items                                                      

test_slow.py::test_normal PASSED                                 [ 50%]
test_slow.py::test_slow PASSED                                   [100%]

========================== 2 passed in 0.00s ===========================

Run only the slow tests with -m slow --slow:

(venv) $ pytest -v -m slow --slow test_slow.py 
========================= test session starts ==========================
collected 2 items / 1 deselected / 1 selected                          

test_slow.py::test_slow PASSED                                   [100%]

=================== 1 passed, 1 deselected in 0.00s ====================
