Disabling Python nosetests

Question

When using nosetests for Python it is possible to disable a unit test by setting the test function\'s __test__ attribute to false. I have implemented this usin

Answer 1

I think you will also need to rename your decorator to something that has not got test in. The below only fails on the second test for me and the first does not show up in the test suite.

def unit_disabled(func):
    def wrapper(func):
         func.__test__ = False
         return func

    return wrapper

@unit_disabled
def test_my_sample_test():
    assert 1 <> 1

def test2_my_sample_test():
    assert 1 <> 1
