Wes McKinney created ARROW-5817:
-----------------------------------
Summary: [Python] Use pytest marks for Flight test to avoid
silently skipping unit tests due to import failures
Key: ARROW-5817
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-5817
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Python
Reporter: Wes McKinney
Fix For: 0.14.0
The approach used to determine whether or not Flight has been built will fail
silently if the extension is built but there is an ImportError caused by
linking or other issues
https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/python/pyarrow/tests/test_flight.py#L35
We should use the same "auto" approach as other optional components (see
https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/python/pyarrow/tests/conftest.py#L40)
with the option for forced opt-in (so that ImportError does not cause silently
skipping) so that {{--flight}} will force the tests to run if we expect them to
work
