Stop pytest right at the start if condition not met
Try using the pytest_configure initialization hook.
In your global conftest.py:
import requests
import pytest
def pytest_configure(config):
try:
requests.get(f'http://localhost:9200')
except requests.exceptions.ConnectionError:
msg = 'FATAL. Connection refused: ES does not appear to be installed as a service (localhost port 9200)'
pytest.exit(msg)
Updates:
- Note that the single argument of
pytest_configurehas to be named config! - Using
pytest.exitmakes it look nicer.
