pytest-dependency – Manage dependencies of tests

This pytest plugin manages dependencies of tests. It allows to mark some tests as dependent from other tests. These tests will then be skipped if any of the dependencies did fail or has been skipped.

Download

The latest release version can be found at PyPI.

System requirements

• Python 2.7 or 3.4 and newer.
• setuptools.
• pytest 3.7.0 or newer.

Optional library packages:

• setuptools_scm

  The version number is managed using this package. All source distributions add a static text file with the version number and fall back using that if setuptools_scm is not available. So this package is only needed to build out of the plain development source tree as cloned from GitHub.

Installation

1. Download the sources, unpack, and change into the source directory.

2. Build (optional):

   $ python setup.py build
   

3. Test (optional):

   $ PYTHONPATH=build/lib python -m pytest tests
   

4. Install:

   $ python setup.py install
   

The last step might require admin privileges in order to write into the site-packages directory of your Python installation.

Documentation

See the online documentation.

The example test modules used in the documentation can be found in doc/examples in the source distribution.
