Is it possible to disable a module level mark for a specific test?

[ubalklen]

I'm using module level marks (pytestmark). But now, only one test cannot have this mark. Is there a way to "turn off" this module mark for a single test only (besides getting rid of the module mark and adopting individual marks)?

For example:

import pytest

pytestmark = [pytest.mark.vcr]

# This should have the pytest.mark.vcr mark...
def test_a():
    pass

# ...this too...
def test_b():
    pass

# ...but not this one.
def test_z():
    pass

Note that this specific mark is handled by the pytest-recording plugin, so I can't ignore the mark for test_z in another place (such as a fixture).

This is not supported and its not a desirable feature in general as it painfully complicates details

A quick fix is to move the tests that need the mark to a class, then apply a class-level mark instead.
