pytest.mark.dependency depends not honored about pytest-dependency HOT 4 CLOSED

Yes, those markers in pytest somewhat look like function calls. So one might expect something like a NameError if using a marker that has not been defined. But in fact, they are more like arbitrary labels that may be attached to a test. That is why the following will work with no complaint:

import pytest

@pytest.mark.funny_marker_that_has_no_meaning_at_all(sense='absent')
def test_funny():
    pass

from pytest-dependency.

Doh!

I added the decorators @pytest.mark.dependency(...) and then pytest didn't crash or complain about the decorator . So I guessed (mistakenly) that meant pytest-dependency was included within pytest.

I did pipenv install pytest-dependency --dev and now it works.

Pardon the noise.

This Issue should be closed.

I cannot reproduce your problem. I get:

From your pip list output, I'm missing pytest-dependency. Did you install pytest-dependency?

I had the same problem because I misspelled the word dependency as dependancy and the tests were not skipped because of that. Thanks for the clarification.
