In pytest, how can I access the parameters passed to a test?

问题

In pytest, I can pass parameters to test (using fixtures or the decorator @pytest.fixture(params=list-of-params)).

When the tests are done, if a test fails, the parameter that was passed is shown on the results, as in TestCheckoutPage.test_address_edit[True] or False if it was false.

How can I access those parameters and add them to a finalizer? request.param doesn't seem to work, even though that is how you would get the parameter when making a fixture:

@pytest.fixture(params=[True, False])
def user(request):
    return request.param

That works. But if I try to pass it to a test:

class TestClass:
    def test_something(self, user):
        pass

And then, using an autouse fixture to collect info on it:

@pytest.fixture(autouse=True)
def set_driver(self, request):
    print request.param

That throws an error, saying there is no param in FixtureRequest.

Is there a way that I can get that parameter back? I'm trying to have Selenium take a screenshot when tests fail, but because tests with parameters have the same name and classname and all, it is writing a file for the first execution, and then overwriting it the second, third, ..., time around. So I would like to add the parameter to the file name to avoid this.

Thanks!

Indeed,request.param is only available in the fixture function where the parametrization is defined. If you need user in the set_driver fixture you can try this:

import pytest

@pytest.fixture(params=[True, False])
def user(request):
    return request.param

class TestHello:
    @pytest.fixture(autouse=True)
    def set_driver(self, user):
        print "set_driver sees", user

    def test_method(self):
        assert 0

If you only want to have set_driver do something if user is actually involved in the test, then you could do something like this:

import pytest

@pytest.fixture(params=[True, False], scope="module")
def user(request):
    return request.param

@pytest.fixture(autouse=True)
def set_driver(request):
    if "user" in request.fixturenames:
        user = request.getfuncargvalue("user")
        print "set_driver sees", user


def test_function(user):
    assert 0

def test_function_nouser():
    assert 0
