Objective
Select
pytest
as test runner in PyCharm, even if unit tests that use the subTest feature are executed and still get separate items for the subtests in the report.Background
unittest
can only executeunittest
tests but notpytest
tests.pytest
can executeunittest
tests as well aspytest
tests.However, the (
unittest
specific)subTest
feature is not supported, so that the complete tests are aborted as soon as the first subtest fails. There is a pytest plugin pytest-subtests to support subtests. With the plugin, subtests are supported when executing pytest in a shell. However, PyCharm still does not support subtests ifpytest
is chosen as test runner because the teamcity pytest plugin does not support this feature.Results
