Flag to run test only if dependent test was successful

[Ghost93]

We have order, but I want to run test 2 only if test 1 was successful (for instance, in my case running test2 is meaningless, should automatically fail)

If I understand you correctly that should already be in place. If you set a test dependency the depending test would not run if the dependency failed.

I haven't worked on this project in several years, but if you have a problem can you provide an example that reproduce the problem?

Hi
Unfortunately it does run the test. Here's a brief example:

some_value = None

def test_1():
    # some logic here
    assert success, "Test should succeed"
    global some_value
    some_value = success.get_value_to_be_used_in_later_tests()

@depends(after=test_1)
def test_2():
    global some_value
    if not some_value:
         assert False, 'some_value must be set by test_1() before running this test
    # use some_value here in test_2
         

And in my case test_2 is running after the failed test_1 and fails because some_value isn't set.
What I'd like to achieve is the test runner not even attempt to run test_2 so I can remove the check if the value has been set
