How do I use markers in pytest for my Django tests?

You can use markers in pytest to categorize your tests. For Django, you might want to use markers like @pytest.mark.django_db to indicate that a test requires database access.

Can you give me an example of using a marker?

Sure! Here's an example:

import pytest

@pytest.mark.django_db
def test_my_model():
    # Your test code here

This tells pytest that this test will interact with the database.

What if I want to run only tests with a specific marker?

You can run tests with a specific marker using the -m option. For example, pytest -m django_db will run all tests marked with @pytest.mark.django_db.

Are there any built-in markers in pytest?

Yes, pytest has several built-in markers like skip, skipif, and xfail. You can also create your own custom markers.
