I would like to skip some test functions when a condition is met, for example:
@skip_unless(condition)
def test_method(self):
...
Here I expect the test method to be reported as skipped if condition evaluated to true. I was able to do this with some effort with nose, but I would like to see if it is possible in nose2.
Related question describes a method for skipping all tests in nose2.
You can use unittest skip conditions which will work with nosetests, nose2 and pytest. There are two options:
class TestTheTest(unittest.TestCase):
@unittest.skipIf(condition, reason)
def test_that_runs_when_condition_false(self):
assert 1 == 1
@unittest.skipUnless(condition, reason)
def test_that_runs_when_condition_true(self):
assert 1 == 1
This can also be used to skip an entire TestCase:
@unittest.skipIf(condition, reason)
class TestTheTest(unittest.TestCase):
def test_that_runs_when_condition_false(self):
assert 1 == 1
def test_that_also_runs_when_condition_false(self):
assert 1 == 1
Using pytest framework:
@pytest.mark.skipif(condition, reason)
def test_that_runs_when_condition_false():
assert 1 == 1
The built in unittest.skipUnless() method and it should work with nose:
unittest the Skipping tests and expected failures section.Using nose:
#1.py
from nose import SkipTest
class worker:
def __init__(self):
self.skip_condition = False
class TestBench:
@classmethod
def setUpClass(cls):
cls.core = worker()
def setup(self):
print "setup", self.core.skip_condition
def test_1(self):
self.core.skip_condition = True
assert True
def test_2(self):
if self.core.skip_condition:
raise SkipTest("Skipping this test")
nosetests -v --nocapture 1.py
1.TestBench.test_1 ... setup False
ok
1.TestBench.test_2 ... setup True
SKIP: Skipping this test
