Disabling Python nosetests
Nose already has a builtin decorator for this:
from nose.tools import nottest@nottestdef test_my_sample_test() #code here ...Also check out the other goodies that nose provides: https://nose.readthedocs.org/en/latest/testing_tools.html
You can also use unittest.skip decorator:
import unittest@unittest.skip("temporarily disabled")class MyTestCase(unittest.TestCase): ...
There also is a skiptest plugin for nosetest, which will cause the test show in test output as skipped. Here is a decorator for that:
def skipped(func): from nose.plugins.skip import SkipTest def _(): raise SkipTest("Test %s is skipped" % func.__name__) _.__name__ = func.__name__ return _Example output:
$ nosetests tests............................................................................................................S.............----------------------------------------------------------------------Ran 122 tests in 2.160sOK (SKIP=1)
