pytest fixture in conftest.py thrown error while in the test file runs - OzzieOzzum - Jul-31-2018 While Testing a @pytest.fixture(scope="module") When the fixture is included in the test file - tests/test_authors.py , test works fineimport json, pytest @pytest.fixture(scope='module') def author_file_json(tmpdir_factory): python_author_data = { 'Ned': {'City': 'Boston'}, 'Brian': {'City': 'Portland'}, 'Luciano': {'City': 'Sau Paulo'} } file = tmpdir_factory.mktemp('data').join('author_file.json') print('file:{}'.format(str(file))) with file.open('w') as f: json.dump(python_author_data, f) return file def test_brian_in_portland(author_file_json): with author_file_json.open() as f: authors = json.load(f) assert authors['Brian']['City'] == 'Portland' If I add the fixture author_file_json to conftest.py and run pytest --fixtures , it shows up in the trace But now if I run pytest tests/test_authors.py , I get an error - How can I fix this ?
RE: pytest fixture in conftest.py thrown error while in the test file runs - OzzieOzzum - Jul-31-2018 Got it. conftest.py has to be at the root of the working directory |
