How do forcibly skip a unit test in Django?

@skipif and @skipunless is all I found, but I just want to skip a test right now for debugging purposes while I get a few things straightened out.

回答1:

Python's unittest module has a few decorators:

There is plain old @skip:

from unittest import skip

@skip("Don't want to test")
def test_something():
    ...

If you can't use @skip for some reason, @skipIf should work. Just trick it to always skip with the argument True:

@skipIf(True, "I don't want to run this test yet")
def test_something():
    ...

If you are looking to simply not run certain test files, the best way is probably to use fab or other tool and run particular tests.

回答2:

Django 1.10 allows use of tags for unit tests. You can then use the --exclude-tag=tag_name flag to exclude certain tags:

from django.test import tag

class SampleTestCase(TestCase):

    @tag('fast')
    def test_fast(self):
        ...

    @tag('slow')
    def test_slow(self):
        ...

    @tag('slow', 'core')
    def test_slow_but_core(self):
        ...

In the above example, to exclude your tests with the "slow" tag you would run:

$ ./manage.py test --exclude-tag=slow
