Say a big database, special hardware, et cetera. To solve this problem, we have two ways to skip tests in pytest, skip and marks. Here's an example of how to skip test. I'm going to check if CI is found in the environment. This is a common environment variable that a lot of CI, continuous integration systems, are setting prior to running the tests. And now, I can run python -m pytest -v test_skip. And this test is going to get skipped, because CI is not set in the environment. If I'm going to set the CI environment variable, CI=, let's say circle CI and now, the test is going to run. The other…
