pytest-dependency is not working in my test

Question

There are 2 files, the code in the first one is:

import pytest

class TestXdist2():
    @pytest.mark.dependency(name="aa")
    def test_t1(self):
        print("\ntest_1")
        assert True

the code in the second file is:

import pytest
import sys, os
sys.path.append(os.getcwd())
from testcases.test_xdist_2 import TestXdist2

class TestXdist1():

    def setup_class(self):
        self.x = TestXdist2()

    @pytest.mark.dependency(depends=["aa"], scope="module")
    def test_t2(self):
        print("\ntest_t2")
        assert 1==1

if __name__ == "__main__":
    pytest.main(["-s", "-v", f"{os.path.abspath('testcases')}/test_xdist_1.py"])

when I run the senond file, I thought test case "test_t1" should be ran firstly, then "test_t2" ran secondly, but the result is like this, "test_t2" is skipped, I don'y know why,

This is the expected behavior - pytest-dependency does not order testcases, it only skips testcases if the testcase they depend on is skipped or failed. There exists a PR that would change that, but is not merged

Until that, you can use pytest-order. If you just want the ordering, you can use relative markers. If you also want to skip tests if the test they depend on failed, you can use pytest-dependency as before, but use the pytest-order option --order-dependencies to order the tests additionally.

Disclaimer:
I'm the author of pytest-order (which is a fork of pytest-ordering).
