How to I display why some tests where skipped while using py.test?
Question:
I am using skipIf() from unittest for skipping tests in certain conditions.
@unittest.skipIf(condition), "this is why I skipped them!")
How do I tell py.test to display skipping conditions?
I know that for unittest I need to enable the verbose mode (-v) but the same parameter added to py.test increase the verbosity by still does not display the skip reasons.
Answers:
When you run py.test, you can pass -rsx to report skipped tests.
From py.test --help:
-r chars show extra test summary info as specified by chars
(f)ailed, (E)error, (s)skipped, (x)failed, (X)passed.
Also see this part of the documentation about skipping: http://doc.pytest.org/en/latest/skipping.html
Short answer:
pytest -rs
This will show extra information of skipped tests.
Detailed answer:
To complement @ToddWilson’s answer, the following chars have been added: p and P (2.9.0), a (4.1.0) and A (4.5.0). The detailed information about skipped and xfailed tests is not shown by default in order to avoid cluttering the output. You can use the -r flag among with the following chars:
- (
f)ailed
- (
E)rror
- (
s)kipped
- (
x)failed
- (
X)passed
- (
p)assed
- (
P)assed with output
- (
a)ll except passed (p/P)
- (
A)ll.
Warnings are enabled by default, and the default value is fE.
