Skip unittest if some-condition in SetUpClass fails

python unit-testing python-3.x python-unittest

Got the answer:

For those who gets stuck here-

unittest can be skipped from setUpClass in following way-

raise unittest.SkipTest(message)

python unit-testing python-3.x python-unittest

Instead of explicitly raising the SkipTest exception, the documentation suggests using TestCase.skipTest(). For example:

def setUp(self):    if skip_tests_flag:        self.skipTest('skipped test due to skip_tests_flag')
