使用 pytest_generate_tests() 时如何在 pytest.param 中设置动态标记参数

Question

I have a pytest setup where all of my tests are parameterized through data stored in a YAML file. Included in that YAML file are custom markers for various test instances. I stripped out most of the code for simplicity. The problem is the variable marker below needs to be of type _pytest.mark.structures.MarkDecorator

I can't seem to change the object type from string. I'm thinking there must be a simpler/different way for what I'm trying to do but I'm just not seeing it...

def pytest_generate_tests(metafunc):

    ######################################################################
    # A bunch of code removed for simplicity but cm is defined in yaml file
    ######################################################################
    cm = "custom_marker"
    marker = f"pytest.mark.{cm}"
    final_str = pytest.param((1,2), marks=marker)

Answer 1

This doesn't directly answer your question, but I wrote a library called parametrize_from_file for the exact purpose parametrizing tests (in pytest) from YAML/TOML/JSON/NT files. It supports custom marks, and might be a lot easier than writing your own parametrization code.

Posting answer based on Kale's response. Thank you Kale I needed to change this:

cm = "custom_marker"
    marker = f"pytest.mark.{cm}"
    final_str = pytest.param((1,2), marks=marker)

to this:

cm = "custom_marker"
    marker = getattr(pytest.mark, cm)
    final_str = pytest.param((1,2), marks=marker)
