py.test session level fixtures in setup_method

Question

Is there a way to somehow use pytest fixtures from conftest.py in a test class\'s setup? I need to initialize an object when the session starts and use it in so

Answer 1

I don't think you can do it directly. However, you can decorate the whole class with pytest.mark.usefixtures, if that helps:

@pytest.mark.usefixtures(['myfixture'])
class TestAAA(object):
    ...

IIRC, setup_method will be called before any of the automatically applied fixtures.

You can also utilize autouse for class-level fixtures like so:

class TestAAA(object):
    @pytest.fixture(autouse=True)
    def init_aaa(self, myfixture):
        ...
