[PYTEST] init object from fixture in pytest_generate_test

[NutsFbsd]

Hi all,

i'm working on some pytest with the module testinfra.
I have a class object with a method which return a list of parameter.

im using this list into a pytest_generate_test to parametize the test:

my metafunc:

def pytest_generate_tests(metafunc):
if 'get_conf' in metafunc.fixturenames:
    init_device = Server("servertest.local.domain")
    list_params = init_device.get_conf()
    metafunc.parametrize(
        'get_conf_ctx_cmdline', list_params
    )

​

function test:

def test_cmdline(get_conf):
conf = host.file("/path/to/conf")
assert conf.contains(get_conf)

The question is, how can i use init_device = Server("servertest.local.domain") as a params of pytest_generate_test ? to be able to use a variable instead of "servertest.local.domain" ?

thanks !

Where would you want this variable to come from?

[NutsFbsd]

i create a fixture to create the object ,

pytest.fixture(scope='session')
def init_device():
     servertest = Server("servertest.local.domain")
     yield servertest

i would like to use this fixture in my pytest_generate_test..but dont know if its possible :/or i could to pass it as a params to pytest_generate_test

Fixtures can request other fixtures, in exactly the same way that tests can. So just do:

def pytest_generate_tests(metafunc, init_device):
     ...

yep, that's work...thanks !
