How to add markers with a wild card to pytest ini

[Vic152]

Hey Guys,

I have auto generated markers like: @tc:123456 in all test cases (using pytest-bdd but it does not matter I believe) I get a warning PytestUnknownMarkWarning: Unknown pytest.mark.tc:154085 - is this a typo?

How can I supress this warning or add wildcard into pytest.ini markers like tc*

there is no wildcard support - why are you not using parameters to markers

[Vic152]

Another system adds a random tag to each test BDD scenario like @tc:12345 we are sharing the same feature files. Meaning in pytest terms, every test_ methods is tagged with unique @tc:xxxxxx

We inherit this and we cannot do anything about it. Hence for every tc:123456 we get a warning about markers that do not exists.

use the pytest_bdd_apply_tag hook of pytest_bdd to implement this

note that i never used pytest-bdd myself

We do not want to create a tag. The tags are there already but we get warning as they are not defined.

Although, maybe we could use this function to convert tags beginning with tc: to a marker like throw_away and define throw_away in pytest.ini ?

[RonnyPfannschmidt]

the suggestion was to define a tc or testcase_id marker and use testcase_id(thenumber) as marker

[Vic152]

We do not have control over these tags. They come from another tool. We do not care for them but we want to supress the warning about undefined markers.

This works

def pytest_bdd_apply_tag(tag, function):
    """Pytest-bdd hook to change all tc: tags to hide them"""
    if tag.startswith("tc:"):
        marker = pytest.mark.hide
        marker(function)
        return True
    else:
        # Fall back to the default behavior of pytest-bdd
        return None      

Then in pytest.ini

markers =
    hide: marker that is hidden

@RonnyPfannschmidt thanks for pointing this out!
