Pytest: recursive dependency in fixtures about nicegui HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi @taschini,

We're following the pytest-selenium documentation:

import pytest
@pytest.fixture
def chrome_options(chrome_options):
    chrome_options.binary_location = '/path/to/chrome'
    chrome_options.add_extension('/path/to/extension.crx')
    chrome_options.add_argument('--kiosk')
    return chrome_options

The chrome_options are a fixture which is implicitly created by pytest and extended by this function definition. It is unclear why you're getting an exception. Are you running our original pytest example?

from nicegui.

Thanks to your reply, I figured out what the problem was: in my virtual environment I had selenium but not pytest-selenium.

With the information at its disposal, pytest cannot possible know that chrome_options in nicegui shadows the fixture of the same name defined by pytest-selenium, and erroneously infers that there is a circular dependency on chrome_options itself.

By explicitly adding pytest-selenium to my dev dependencies, the problem goes away.
