Select suite of tests for coverage with pytest

I'm running a set of tests with pytest and want also to measure its coverage with the coverage package.

I have some decorators in my code, dividing the tests in several suites using something like:

@pytest.mark.firstgroup
def test_myfirsttest():
    assert True is True

@pytest.mark.secondgroup
def test_mysecondtest():
    assert False is False

I need to find something like:

coverage run --suite=firstgroup -m pytest

So that in this case only the first test, since it's in the correct suite, will be used to test coverage.

The suites work correctly when I use directly pytest but I don't know how to use them in coverage

Is there any way to configure coverage to achieve this?

Solution

  • You can pass whatever arguments you want to pytest. If this line works:

    pytest --something --also=another 1 2 foo bar

    then you can run it under coverage like this:

    coverage run -m pytest --something --also=another 1 2 foo bar
