Some of my tests are taking long time, and I want to have an option to run only short tests or all tests. I have found option to disable some tests (Disable individual Python unit tests temporarily), but I didn't find option to, for example, set some flag in python -m unittest run those disabled tests anyway. What's the best practice here?

  • Thank you for your answer, but I am using unittest, not pytest. Commented Aug 31, 2020 at 12:12
  • Ah, sorry - as far as I know, there is no such flag in unittest. You could use skipifinstead and check for some environment variable, which you have to set if you want to run (or skip) the tests. Commented Aug 31, 2020 at 12:18
  • That seems to work, thank you very much! Commented Aug 31, 2020 at 12:37
