Is there a way to mark only one test to run?

Question

I'm debugging one test which fails. Is there a way to mark only one test to run?

something like:

@pytest.only # it doesn't work
def test_some_test():
  ...

My question is different. I know about the pattern filtering. But it is clumsy. `only` exists mostly everywhere — kharandziuk, Jun 14 '18 at 11:38

You can mark your test with pytest.mark. The mark is dynamically created, so you can choose almost any name. Here is a link to docs.

For example in tt.py:

import pytest

@pytest.mark.one_test
def test_foo():
    assert 1 == 1

def test_bar():
    assert 2 == 2

enter code here

and then run with pytest tt.py -m one_test :

pytest tt.py -m one_test

tt.py .
