Is there a way to specify which pytest tests to run from a file?

Question

Is there a way to select pytest tests to run from a file? For example, a file foo.txt containing a list of tests to be executed:

tes         


        

Answer 1

If you have the same method name in two different classes and you just want to run one of them, this works:

pytest tests.py -k 'TestClassName and test_method_name'
