Since this bug exists for almost 3 year now, to seem there is not interest to fix this. As an alternative, we could try ttps://github.com/ftobia/pytest-ordering

I have removed the dependency marker ins the network test now. Other pytest file may also need an update

https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-order support dependencies now, maybe we should have a look at it.

Following the discussion of GitHub, it seems that developers of pytest-dependency don't plan to support re-ordering the tests - even is user seem to expect this functionality. Using https://gitlab.com/MaienM/pytest-depends could be evaluated as an alternative.

As stated in [https://github.com/RKrahl/pytest-dependency/pull/44] the plugin {{pytest-dependency}} does no directly support ordering, but when this is needed it must be used with {{pytest-order}} and setting {{--order-dependencies}} .
