Need mechanism for tests ordering (execute L1 tests at the end)

[StepanVovkPLV]

Issue: with L1 tests we facing issue of changing port(s) speed, duplex etc. In order to get device to pretest condition we rebooting device.
To save time on tests run decided to reboot device on the last test within the L1 tests in the session.

We see two solution to reboot device on the last test :

1. Modifying conftest.py like in the draft PR -> Reboot device after L 1 tests #243
2. Bring pytest-order library which supports session-, module- and class-scope ordering via the order-scope option . But hesitate to bring new library if we ever use it just for L1 tests

@mgheorghe can you please advice.

@mgheorghe could you please review this issue and PR? It is related to Phase1 tests, would be nice to have

i thought that each island can be ran individually and can be ordered by triggering a run on island 1 to 7 and then trigger run with island 11,
so this can be controlled from the bash script

Actually, we run the tests by triggering run of functional test suite group. And tests collection is handled by pytest which has no direct way to set tests order for our case.
So, we either need to add pytest-order package that can solve the issue or modify the tests collection flow in the framework.

Hi @mgheorghe
We have already solution for this issue by implementing fixture here which reverts port configuration to default. Do we need to keep solution in this PR #243? If not, I would suggest closing this issue and PR
