Yup, exactly. Plus: I think the different batch sizes will be removed soon, anyway, once our testing codebase has been cleaned up (and much of the stuff has been outsourced to hypothesis) |

Hey @Waschenbacher
This is a custom marker form us. When you run pytest you can use the optional argument
--fast. This then will skip all tests and fixture variants that have been marked withmark.slow. The logic implementing that is in conftest.pyThe naming here is prob a bit counterintuitive as a batch recommendation with 3 is likely slower than with 1. But the logic of marking the variant with
batch_size=1asslowstems from us not wanting to test both batch sizes 1 and 3 if the user wants to do--fast, so we decided in that case just 3 will be done asbatch_size > 1is the more complex use case that should be covered.We don't use the
--fastmechanism much anyway tbh as we mostly do …
