When a test is marked as dependent on another, it will be automatically skipped if any of its dependencies fail or are themselves skipped. This is useful for test suites where later tests logically depend on earlier setup or validation steps succeeding.\n\nThe plugin integrates directly into pytest's test collection and execution flow. It has no external runtime dependencies and supports Python versions from 3.4 through 3.14. The package is actively maintained, with a recent commit history and a permissive Apache 2.0 license that allows both commercial and private use.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you have a test suite with explicit dependencies between tests. The plugin is actively maintained, has no external runtime dependencies, and carries a permissive license. The high install friction is a minor concern; verify whether it affects your environment. For simple test suites without inter-test dependencies, it adds no value."},"id":"pytest-dependency","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pytest-dependency","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pytest-dependency.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pytest-dependency/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-02-15","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pytest-dependency","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Manage dependencies of tests"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":8908309,"position":1579,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.6.1"}
