Can params passed to pytest fixture be passed in as a variable?
Solution 1
If i understand your question correctly, you basically want to select one instance of a parametrized fixture for executing with a test, by providing some info with the test. It's not possible although we could probably think about a mechanism. I am not sure if the following solution maps to your whole problem, but here is one way to solve the above concrete case:
import pytest
@pytest.fixture(scope="module")
def myFixture1():
return 5
@pytest.fixture(scope="module")
def myFixture2():
return 2
@pytest.fixture(scope="module", params=["param1", "param2"])
def myFixture(request):
if request.param == 'param1':
return request.getfuncargvalue("myFixture1")
elif request.param == 'param2':
return request.getfuncargvalue("myFixture2")
def test_1(myFixture1):
assert myFixture1 == 5
def test_2(myFixture2):
assert myFixture2 == 2
def test_all(myFixture):
assert myFixture in (2,5)
This runs four tests, because the test_all
is executed twice with both fixtures.
If the setup of your fixtures is not heavy, you might also have one fixture that produces a list and an "iterating" parametrized one. A test could then grab the whole list and index it into it.
Solution 2
Not sure if this is what you want, but the example case can be implemented like:
@pytest.mark.parametrize(('param', 'expected'), [('param1', 5), ('param2', 10)])
def test_madeup(param, expected):
assert param == expected

I have two simple test setups and I'm trying to group them in one fixture and want the test function to pass in the 'params' to the fixture.
Here's a contrived example, to explain my question. Say I have the following pytest fixture:
@pytest.fixture(scope="module", params=['param1','param2']) def myFixture(request): if request.param == 'param1': p = 5 elif request.param == 'param2': p = 10 return p # would like to set request.param = ['param1'] for myFixture def test_madeup(myFixture): assert myFixture == 5 # would like to set request.param = ['param2'] for myFixture def test_madeup2(myFixture): assert myFixture == 10
Can I make it so that the params above are passed in as an input to the
test_madeup
function? So, something like the following:@pytest.fixture(scope="module", params=fixtureParams) def myFixture(request): if request.param == 'param1': return 5 elif request.param == 'param2': return 10 def test_madeup(myFixture, ['param1']): assert myFixture == 5
The above, of course, doesn't work. The real case is a bit more complex, but I just want to know if I can pass the
params=['param1','param2']
to the fixture from thetest_madeup
function.
