Chaining tests and passing an object from one test to another

Question

I\'m trying to pass the result of one test to another in pytest - or more specifically, reuse an object created by the first test in the second test. This is how I currently do

Answer 1

#Use return and then call it later so it'll look like: 

def test_creation():
    object = create_object()
    assert object.status == 'created'
    return(object.id) #this doesn't show on stdout but it will hand it to what's calling it


def test_update(id):
    object = test_creation
    object.id = id
    object.update()
    assert object.status == 'updated' # some more tests

#If this is what youre thinking of there ya go
