According to http://pytest.org/latest/parametrize.html#the-metafunc-object, the scope parameter overrides the fixture scope if specified. But in practice, the fixture scope seems to be ignored even if no scope parameter is passed to metafunc.parametrize. Example:
#!python
$ cat test_me.py
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import pytest
import logging
log = logging.getLogger(__name__)
@pytest.fixture(scope='module')
def foo(request):
print('preparing foo-%d' % request.param)
return 'foo-%d' % request.param
def test_one(foo):
print(foo)
def test_two(foo):
print(foo)
test_two.test_with = (2,3)
def pytest_generate_tests(metafunc):
params = list(range(4))
if not 'foo' in metafunc.fixturenames:
return
test_with = getattr(metafunc.function, 'test_with', None)
if test_with:
params = test_with
metafunc.parametrize("foo", params, indirect=True)
$ py.test-3 test_me.py -v -s
