Is it possible to parametrize a test with fixtures?

Question

I would like to pass @pytest.mark.parametrize not particular values but fixtures. Like so.

Given a conftest with:

@pytest.fixture
def name1(         


        

Answer 1

I would insist in parametrizing the fixture

In your example this would amount to:

@pytest.fixture(params=['foo', 'bar'])
def name(request):
    return request.param

def test_name(name):
    print(name)

Another alternative:

@pytest.fixture(params=[1,2])
def name(name1, name2, request):
    if request.param == 1:
        return name1()
    elif request.param == 2:
        return name2()

def test_name(name):
    print(name)

Which approach works best for you will depend on the specifics of your tests and perhaps on what pre-existing fixtures you might be trying to leverage.
