The test was skipped,although the dependency test is success.

I'm having the same issue. I've used this plugin successfuly in the past, but on my current setup it just skips every test that depends on another.

Code sample:

@pytest.mark.dependency()
def test_ping_host(host):
    """Pinging provided host."""
    try:
        response = requests.get(host)
    except (urllib3.exceptions.MaxRetryError, requests.exceptions.ConnectionError):
        raise AssertionError("Host didn't respond.")
    
    assert response is not None

@pytest.mark.dependency(depends=['test_ping_host'])
def test_authentication(user_auth):
    """Asserting that user authentication in conftest was successful."""

    # Checking for error key in the authenticate_user object; it existing implies authentication failed
    assert not user_auth.get("error")
    # Checking to make sure a proper token was returned by our auth function in conftest
    assert user_auth.get("token") is not ""

[jfoust-zymergen]

Any workaround discovered?

[mrbean-bremen]

I just had a look at these (as this issue has been mentioned to me elsewhere), and saw that the original issue by @jianchao00 behaves as expected: the tests have only been run for the second test module (test_mod_02), and they are skipped because they depend on tests that have not been run.

The third example by @johncuyle has not enough information about the tests and how they have been run.

The second example by @wmetryka is weird though - I tried to reproduce it without success; this is a trivial case that has always worked, and I suspect something is different in the environment, but I have no idea what it is. @wmetryka: have you resolved this? Maybe you can point to a repo where this happens?

[autosquash]

I had the issue of dependant tests being skipped always, but only when their module name was alphabetically before their dependencies. Solved using pytest-order plugin with the flag --order-dependencies.
