How to mark one function not a test for pytest?
Filter out false positives after the test items are collected: create a conftest.py
in your tests directory with the custom post-collection hook:
# conftest.py
def pytest_collection_modifyitems(session, config, items):
items[:] = [item for item in items if item.name != 'test_session']
pytest
will still collect the test_session
methods (you will notice that in the pytest
report line collected n tests
), but not execute them as tests and not consider them anywhere in the test run.
