Running a test suite (custom test collection) with py.test

I use py.test to create a functional test environment, so I need to specify the exact tests that need to be run. I understand the beauty of a dynamic collection of tests, but I want to first run a test of the health of the test environment, and then run my regression tests; that categorization does not exclude that the tests in these sets are used for other purposes.

The test suite will be tied to Jenkins build projects. I am using osx, python 2.7.3, py.test 2.3.4.

So I have a test case:

# sample_unittest.py
import unittest, pytest

class TestClass(unittest.TestCase):

    def setUp(self):
        self.testdata = ['apple', 'pear', 'berry']

    def test_first(self):
        assert 'apple' in self.testdata

    def test_second(self):
        assert 'pear' in self.testdata

    def tearDown(self):
        self.testdata = []

def suite():
    suite = unittest.TestSuite()
    suite.addTest(TestClass('test_first'))
    return suite

if __name__ == '__main__':
    unittest.TextTestRunner(verbosity=2).run(suite())

And I have a test suite like this:

# suite_regression.py
import unittest, pytest
import functionaltests.sample_unittest as sample_unittest

# set up the imported tests
suite_sample_unittest = sample_unittest.suite()

# create this test suite
suite = unittest.TestSuite()
suite.addTest(suite_sample_unittest)

# run the suite
unittest.TextTestRunner(verbosity=2).run(suite)

If I run the following from the command line for the package, test_first launches (but I do not get the additional information py.test can provide):

python/suite_regression.py -v

, 0 :

py.test functiontests/suite_regression.py

, test_first test_second:

py.test functiontests/sample_unittest.py -v

, py.test . py.test .

, :

• py.test ?
• unittest.TestSuite py.test?

EDIT: py.test, , .

# set up custom markers

health = pytest.mark.NAME

    def tearDown(self):

    suite = unittest.TestSuite()
    suite.addTest(TestClass('test_first'))
    return suite

, test_first:

py.test functiontests/sample_unittest.py -v -m healthcheck

py.test functiontests/sample_unittest.py -v -m
