Selecing tests based on their node ID
-------------------------------------
You can provide one or more :ref:`node IDs <node-id>` as positional
arguments to select only specified tests. This makes it easy to select
tests based on their module, class, method, or function name::
$ py.test -v test_server.py::TestClass::test_method
=========================== test session starts ============================
platform linux2 -- Python 2.7.3 -- py-1.4.20 -- pytest-2.5.2 -- /home/hpk/p/pytest/.tox/regen/bin/python
collecting ... collected 4 items
test_server.py:11: TestClass.test_method PASSED
========================= 1 passed in 0.01 seconds =========================
You can also select on the class::
$ py.test -v test_server.py::TestClass
=========================== test session starts ============================
platform linux2 -- Python 2.7.3 -- py-1.4.20 -- pytest-2.5.2 -- /home/hpk/p/pytest/.tox/regen/bin/python
collecting ... collected 4 items
test_server.py:11: TestClass.test_method PASSED
========================= 1 passed in 0.01 seconds =========================
Or select multiple nodes::
$ py.test -v test_server.py::TestClass test_server.py::test_send_http
=========================== test session starts ============================

.. _node-id:
.. note::
Node IDs are of the form ``module.py::class::method`` or
``module.py::function``. Node IDs control which tests are
collected, so ``module.py::class`` will select all test methods
on the class. Nodes are also created for each parameter of a
parametrized fixture or test, so selecting a parametrized test
must include the parameter value, e.g.
``module.py::function[param]``.
Node IDs for failing tests are displayed in the test summary info
when running py.test with the ``-rf`` option. You can also
construct Node IDs from the output of ``py.test --collectonly``.
