Impossible to use fixture with nested fixture when it is in other file about pytest-fixture-classes HOT 2 CLOSED

Am on it.

from pytest-fixture-classes.

It's not a bug in pytest-fixture-classes. It's an expected behavior in pytest. To verify so, I created the following scenario similar to yours:

# test_foo.py
import pytest


@pytest.fixture
def first_fixture() -> None:
    ...


@pytest.fixture
def second_fixture(first_fixture):
    def inner(self) -> None:
        first_fixture()

    return inner

# test_bar.py

from .test_foo import second_fixture


def test_kek(second_fixture) -> None:
    second_fixture()

Same error: fixture 'first_fixture' not found. When you import fixtures like that, you need to import either the entire file (wildcard) or to import all used fixtures. That happens because you're not supposed to define fixtures outside of conftest.py. However, you can create multiple conftest.py files in subdirectories.

But thank you for this issue: it helped me find a few minor display bugs in pytest-fixture-classes.
