Root Cause

pytest.skip() was called without a reason string, or pytest.mark.skip was used without reason=, producing an unhelpful '<Skipped instance>' message.

generic

中文

调用 pytest.skip() 时没有提供原因字符串，或使用 pytest.mark.skip 时没有 reason=，导致出现无用的 '<Skipped instance>' 消息。

Workarounds

  1. 98% success 
    import pytest

pytest.skip("requires GPU")
# or
@pytest.mark.skip(reason="not supported on Windows")
def test_x(): ...
  2. 95% success 
    @pytest.mark.skipif(sys.platform == 'win32', reason='POSIX only')
def test_x(): ...

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 80% fail

    -rs shows reasons but there is none to show.

  2. 70% fail

    xfail runs the test; may cause failures on unsupported platforms.

  3. 85% fail

    Still lacks a reason string; message remains unhelpful.
