class ConcreteTest(TestsBase):

Does not seem to work when you have the following arrangement.
Well it works perfectly for the first not for the second and third

Highly appreciate if you can help

`@test_base
class TestsBase(TestCase):
...

class ConcreteTest(TestsBase):
...
class ConcreteTest2(TestsBase):
...
class ConcreteTest3(TestsBase):
...`

Impossible. Better post a full non working example :)

Sorry for the delayed response

First, below is my folder structure (Ignore the warning things as I moved a bunch of code from there to clear things up)

now to the files

test_base.py

import unittest


def test_base(base_cls):
    class BaseClassSkipper(base_cls):
        @classmethod
        def setUpClass(cls):
            if cls is BaseClassSkipper:
                raise unittest.SkipTest("Base class")
            super().setUpClass()
    return BaseClassSkipper


@test_base
class TestBase(unittest.TestCase):
    def test_st_01_test_something(self):
        pass

    def test_st_02_test_something_else(self):
        pass

test_database.py

from test_cases.test_base.test_base import TestBase


class TestDatabase(TestBase):
    """

    """

test_files.py

from test_cases.test_base.test_base import TestBase


class TestFile(TestBase):
    """

    """

When I run the folder test_impl. I get the following output. the marked bit is the problem that I want to sort out (Not sure if it is possible)

Only thing that worked for me is

in test_base.py

def setUpClass(cls):

    if cls.__name__ == TestBase.__name__:
        raise unittest.SkipTest("Base class")

    # do foo
    # do bar

    super().setUpClass()

def setUp(self):
    if self.__class__.__name__ == TestBase.__name__:
        raise unittest.SkipTest("Base class")

    # do foo
    # do bar
    
    super().setUp()

Please post a full example
