try to decorate your test as @pytest.mark.longrun

in your conftest.py

def pytest_addoption(parser):
    parser.addoption('--longrun', action='store_true', dest="longrun",
                 default=False, help="enable longrundecorated tests")

def pytest_configure(config):
    if not config.option.longrun:
        setattr(config.option, 'markexpr', 'not longrun')
