[TIP] py.test parametrized resources & test selection

[Wouter Overmeire]

Hi,

The py.test documentation has a nice example on deferring the setup of
parametrized resources http://pytest.org/latest/example/parametrize.html.

Suppose i added an extra test in the test_backends.py file.and collect the
test. So far so good.

collected 3 items
<Module 'test_backends.py'>
  <Function 'test_db_initialized[d1]'>
  <Function 'test_db_initialized[d2]'>
  <Function 'test_something_else'>

Running only 'test_something_else' works fine, but how can i run only the
test_db_initialized[*] tests? Or only one of the test_db_initialized[*]
tests, without adding a command line parameter and changing
pytest_generate_tests accordingly?


py.test --collect-only test_backends.py::test_db_initialized
