However, i realize we also have scopes. And this is where any attempt
to decide ordering between pytest versus xUnit fixtures seesm to break down:
- We don't want setup_class execute after a function-scoped pytest fixture.
- We don't want class-scoped pytest fixture execute after setup_method.
Maybe, we could internally add autouse-fixtures at module/class/function
scope which would look for setupX/teardownX and act accordingly. This
way xUnit setup/teardown methods would appear as pytest fixtures.
Here is an example how it could look like for a mix of
xUnit/pytest class/function scoped autouse- and non-autouse fixtures:
user-function found by
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
...
autoclass(...) # @pytest.fixture(scope="class", autouse=True))
setup_class(cls) # internal @pytest.fixture("class", autouse=True)
clsarg(...) # @pytest.fixture("class", autouse=False)
funcfixture(...) # @pytest.fixture(scope="function", autouse=True)
setup_method() # internal @pytest.fixture("function", autouse=True)
arg1 # @pytest.fixture(scope="function", autouse=False))
...
test_function(arg1, clsarg)
# teardowns execute in LIFO registration order
Makes sense?
Ideally, we could produce something like the above output with
some command line option to help debugging.
