pytest-order

This is a fork of pytest-ordering. That project is not maintained anymore, and there are several helpful PRs waiting for merge. Therefore I decided to create this fork that tries to combine the original code with most of the provided PRs.
My hope is that the original project will be moved to the pytest organization as outlined in this issue. When this happens, this fork will be obsolete.

pytest-order is a pytest plugin to run your tests in a specific order.

Have you ever wanted to easily run one of your tests before any others run? Or run some tests last? Or run this one test before that other test? Or make sure that this group of tests runs after this other group of tests?

Now you can.

Install with:

pip install pytest-order

This defines some pytest markers that you can use in your code.

For example, this:

import pytest

@pytest.mark.run(order=2)
def test_foo():
    assert True

@pytest.mark.run(order=1)
def test_bar():
    assert True

Yields this output:

$ py.test test_foo.py -vv
