Pytest --collect-only -q to ignore tests that skip

Question

I am working with pytest and I need to collect test cases. For this there exists the following command:

pytest --collect-only -q

I am only interested in the tests that would be actually executed, if I would perform for example:

pytest tests/my_tests

(and not the skipped ones). How can I avoid collecting the tests that would skip?

Answer 1

Invoke the mark filter on the command line:

pytest --collect-only -q -m "not skip"

This avoids having to create or modify a conftest.py file.
