List available tests with py.test

I can't find a way to list the tests which I can call with py.test -k PATTERN

How can I see the list of the available tests?

If you just the test case list, but you don't want to the XML result, not checking the setups and teardowns, you can use pytest --co -q.

That way you just have the list of testcases like:

tests/test_file.py::test_mytc1
tests/test_file.py::test_mytc2
tests/test_file_2.py::test_yourtc1
tests/test_file_2.py::test_yourtc2

Both --collect-only and --setup-plan will print out your test files and individual tests.

--collect-only (or --co) prints in a <[type] [name]> format

pytest --collect-only
# or
pytest --co

# <Module test_file.py>
#   <Function test__my_awesome_code_does_the_awesome_thing>

--setup-plan is more verbose and prints the entire test-run plan (including any setup, teardown, and fixtures used for each test). It also prints the entire path for each test.

pytest --setup-plan

# tests/test_file.py
#     SETUP    [...]
#     tests/test_file.py::test__my_awesome_code_does_the_awesome_thing (fixtures used: [...])
#     TEARDOWN [...]

You should use the flag --collect-only. If you are using pytest 5.3.0 or newer use --co.

pytest 5.3.0+

pytest --co

previous versions

pytest --collect-only

You can use this flag among other flags, so in your case pytest --co -k PATTERN.

You can also use --collect-only, this will show a tree-like structure of the collected nodes. Usually one can simply -k on the names of the Function nodes.

-v verbose tells you which test cases are run, i.e. which did match your PATTERN.
