Preferred Topology
The preferred topology marker pytest.mark.preferred_topology can be
used if you want the flexibility to run against all topologies, but do not
need to do it all the time. An example could be Nightly builds or a CI where
a single topology is adequate coverage. This will reduce the resources
required to run the tests and their execution times. This is possible by using
the pytest.mark.preferred_topology marker.
This marks the test with a default topology, deselecting any additional
topologies. --mh-ignore-preferred-topology can be used to ignore the
marker.
If more than one preferred topology has been defined, only the last topology
will be used. If the preferred topology contains no value, the marker is
ignored.The pytest.mark.preferred_topology marker accepts three types of
values, TopologyMark value of
KnownTopologyBase or str.
