Exclude or Include hosts per test function about pytest-testinfra HOT 5 OPEN

Well, I wanted to be able to skip a test based on a remote command. Here the command was 'hostname -s', but it could have been anything else. Is there a way to do that?

Doesn't @pytest.mark.testinfra_hosts already do something like that? See https://github.com/philpep/testinfra/blob/master/testinfra/test/test_backends.py

@pytest.mark.testinfra_hosts does not work with Salt, we had to use the suggested workaround.
My team would be happy to extend @pytest.mark.testinfra_hosts to support Salt.
Could you point us in the right direction? Thanks a lot.

Do you have an idea @philpep? :)

FWIW, a (more ansible specific) workaround.
My use case is ansible group intersection.
I'm pretty new to python and to pytest, but this seems to be elegant.
The approach is to define a conftest.py with a fixture:

@pytest.fixture(scope='class')
    def groups(host):
    return host.ansible.get_variables()['group_names']

Then add groups to the test function parameters, and add a line like
if 'GROUP_NAME' in groups:

This avoids pytest.skip() which, for my usage is a plus.
