@pytest.fixture(scope="package") works like session if placed in one file and used with pytest_plugins in conftest.py

[twitt]

Hello.
I'm using pytest==5.4.1.
I have conftest.py file in root of the directory with content like this:

pytest_plugins = ['fixtures.configuration', 'fixtures.global']

my fixtures are placed in separate folder 'fixtures'.

When I run some fixture, which is defined in fixtures.configuration with scope "package" it's executed as session fixture. So I suppose this package scope realted to where fixtures are placed, than to where they're called. Is it expected behavior? if I want to use pytest_plugins in conftest.py this looks a bit inconvenient.

This can be tested by.

Creating conftest.py in root of directory with content:

pytest_plugins = ['fixtures.myfixtures']

Creating fixtures folder with myfxitures.py file inside of it with content.

@pytest.fixture(scope="package")
def hello_package():
      print('hello')
      yield
      print('world')

Creating package 'some' with two packages inside: 'hello', 'world'.

with files inside with content like
hello_test.py

def test_hello(hello_package):
        pass

world_test.py

def test_world(hello_package):
        pass

running: pytest -sv some
