pytest-external-blockers

A pytest outcome for tests you dont run for external/environmental reason.

examples of such reasons reasons are:

• lack of access to a bugtracker telling you what tests apply for the current version of software under test
• lack of access to a backend service providing essential details for the tests in question
• issue in a bugtracker is unresolved
• failure of the internet connection

@pytest.fixture(scope="session")
def bugtracker():
    try:
        return get_tracker():
    except Exception:
        pytest.block("bugtracker unavailiable")


@pytest.fixture(autouse=True)
def _block_unresolved(request, bugtracker):
    issue = request.node.getmarker('issue')
    if issue is not None:
        for issue_id in issue.args:
            if bugtracker.is_unresolved(issue_id)
                pytest.block(
                    "{issue_id} was not resolved".format(issue_id))
