I am trying to access a fixture located in a library through a class that is not referentiated @ all.py. This fixture is defined like: # module root library.<>._generic class ReferenceFileTest: @pytest.fixture def reference_folder_name(self) -> str: return "ref" And what basicly this does is append the name ref to the created folder using --regenerate. But I would like this name to be an absolute path instead, precising it myself. In fact, what I thought doing was using the overriding capabilities of pytest through conftest.py, instantiating the fixture as: # conftest.py @pytest.fixture(scope="session") def reference_folder_name() -> str: return "reference" However, this doesn't work, and neither does requesting the "mother" fixture, nor redefining the class or whatsoever. The fixture reference_folder_name exists, and it is possible to see it using --fixtures when running pytest. I would need to precise this and change its name as I intend on relocating all files in a different folder which then I can use as well for testing (as my comparing functions instantiate this class as well). Any help would be appreciated. Continue reading...
