Overriding mark for a single test in PyTest



.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;

There is a test file with a global marker for each stored test:



from pytest import mark

pytestmark = mark.unit


This works as expected and all of the tests from this file as marked as unit. However, I'd like to override the mark for a single test, so that it no longer has the unit marker.



When I use the decorator on the test function that I want to modify, instead of overriding the original marker, it contains both unit and the new integration markers:



@mark.integration
def test_integration():
pass


I've checked the marker decorator sources and it seems that it calls store_mark and has no additional properties that would let me override existing test markers.



Are there any idiomatic solutions to override existing testing marks or should I just store the tests in a separate file?

          I don’t think there is built-in functionality for this. You have a few options:



          Implement a plugin that gives you an unmark decorator. Someone has already tried this but I haven’t tested it.



          Or Put all of your unit tests in a class and decorate the class with the marker.



          import pytest

          @pytest.mark.unit
          class TestUnits:
          def test1(self):
          pass

          @pytest.mark.integration
          def integration_test():
          pass

          • Separating the tests was something that I originally did to solve this issue, I just wondered if there's a built-in solution for this. I might experiment with unmark next time if a similar problem arises. Thanks.
