pytest-order is a pytest plugin that allows you to run the tests in required order with respect to other tests.
pytest-order works with Python 2.7 and 3.5 - 3.10, with pytest versions >= 3.7.0
We need to install the pytest-order pytest plugin first.
pip install pytest-order
In the below example we have created four methods and marked the order randomly from 1 to 4. We will see that all the tests are executed as per given order.
test_PytestRunOrder.py
import pytest
@pytest.mark.run(order=4)
def test_methodA():
print("This is method A")
@pytest.mark.run(order=1)
def test_methodB():
print("This is method B")
@pytest.mark.run(order=2)
def test_methodC():
print("This is method C")
@pytest.mark.run(order=3)
def test_methodD():
print("This is method D")
Now let us execute the script using the below command.
pytest -v -s test_PytestRunOrder.py
