Hi Floris,
Thanks for the reply, hope you are doing good.
So basically in our setup we had a requirement in which we have to use unique
python scripts for each and every test cases ,insted of having them in a single
script.
And we had another requirement to change the executing order for different
scenarios.
For example lets say I have a folder names "TESTS" and
I have placed 3 test cases named
"test_109.py",
"test_298.py",
"test_301.py",
Now in one suite I want the execution order to be test301 - test298 –
test109
And for another it has to be test298 - test301 - test109
Now instead of editing these test cases each and every time for changing the
order sequence ,
I came up with an approach of storing these cases in a JSON called let say
“test_suite.JSON” which contains the following data
{
Scenario1 : {
“test_301” : 1,
“test_298” : 2,
“test_109” : 3,
},
Scenario2 : {
“test_298” : 1,
“test_301” : 2,
“test_109” : 3,
}
}
So the command would be “ pytest ./TESTS --suite_cfg ./test_suite.json
--suite_name Scenario1 ”
Where ,
suite_cfg and suite_name are the parser key word’s which I used in this plugin.
This plugin will be useful in scenario’s were the testcase name can’t be
created in an order.
Note: we are using board farm so there will be some additional parameters to
the above mentioned execution command which will contain the required config
files.
So I hope now I have explained the need of this plugin and it would be really
helpful if you could guide me in making this plugin available to the community.
And thanks for letting me know about this mail thread.
Thanks and Regards,
Siva ram SV.

Hi Sivaram,
Hope you are well and nice that you wrote a pytest plugin! As far as I
recall pytest by default already executes tests in the order they are
defined in the source code though. I guess this was not expressive
enough for your needs?
As for advertising, it's best to follow the advice on
https://docs.pytest.org/en/stable/writing_plugins.html which mentions
how to use PyPI classifiers. Also read about the plugin compat project
linked from there, making sure that finds your plugin is a good
indication of how discoverable your plugin is.
Finally, just be aware this is a mailing list of anyone interested in
pytest development and not specifically an admin person. I'm just one
random person answering.
Cheers,
Floris
