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

Maybe using pytest_collect_file() hook you can parse the content of a .txt o .yaml file where the tests are specify as you want, and return them to the pytest core.

A nice example is shown in the pytest documentation. I think what you are looking for.
