How to ignore some unittest test in Pycharm 2017.1?

Question

There is a button "Show Ignored" in Pycharm test run window. I wonder, how to mark some test as ignored?

Answer 1

With just Python unittest, you can decorate a test to be skipped with @skip. From unittest — Unit testing framework — Python 2 or unittest — Unit testing framework — Python 3:

class MyTestCase(unittest.TestCase):

    @unittest.skip("demonstrating skipping")
    def test_nothing(self):
        self.fail("shouldn't happen")

    @unittest.skipIf(mylib.__version__ < (1, 3),
                     "not supported in this library version")
    def test_format(self):
        # Tests that work for only a certain version of the library.
        pass

    @unittest.skipUnless(sys.platform.startswith("win"), "requires Windows")
    def test_windows_support(self):
        # windows specific testing code
        pass

I assume PyCharm is showing you the skipped tests.
