Let's say I have a test as shown below:
import pytest
import copy
@pytest.fixture(scope='session')
def session_tool(request):
tool = request.config.tool
# Build is the critical part and may fail, raising an exception
tool.build()
return tool
@pytest.fixture
def tool(session_tool):
return copy.deepcopy(session_tool)
def test_tool(tool, args):
assert tool.run(args) == 0
It builds a session-scoped tool and then creates a copy of it for each testcase. But when the build fails, session_tool fixture is executed again for the next testcase, which fails again... until it fails for all testcases. As there are a lot of testcases, it takes some time until the process is finished.
Is there any way to tell pytest to skip all tests which use session_fixture after the first attempt to build fails?
