While Testing a
When the fixture is included in the test file -
If I add the fixture
But now if I run
@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 - Error:E fixture 'author_file_json' not found
How can I fix this ?
