Disable individual Python unit tests temporarily

Question

How can individual unit tests be temporarily disabled when using the unittest module in Python?

Answer 1

You can use decorators to disable the test that can wrap the function and prevent the googletest or python unit test to run the testcase.

def disabled(f):
    def _decorator():
        print f.__name__ + ' has been disabled'
    return _decorator

@disabled
def testFoo():
    '''Foo test case'''
    print 'this is foo test case'

testFoo()

Output:

testFoo has been disabled
