Unused fixture input in a fixture

[echedey-ls]

Was the following piece of code supposed to use it's input?

https://github.com/pvlib/pvlib-python/blob/55e0a36fac1e3931b92f5f11508f6c09d903e0cc/pvlib/tests/test_irradiance.py#L61C1-L65C30

My suggestion is to remove the input parameter; I've run the tests without it and that works locally.

I suppose it's not a big deal, and for the same reason, another nice good first contribution.

I think it's a holdover from when dni_et (and other inputs) were calculated inputs rather than fixed inputs to various tests. It was easy to get started with calculated inputs but we eventually realized that led to unhealthy coupling in the test suite. So, safe to remove the unused fixture there.

Was this issue fixed??

Hi @Clemo97 !

No, it hasn't. Would you like to work on this?

I recommend reading the how to contribute page https://pvlib-python.readthedocs.io/en/stable/index.html
