New issue 768: doctests appear to run before session scope fixtures https://bitbucket.org/pytest-dev/pytest/issue/768/doctests-appear-to-run-before-session
Jason R. Coombs: I've created a session scoped fixture in ./conftest.py: ``` @pytest.fixture(autouse=True, scope='session') def myfixture(): raise ValueError() ``` Then, I create a module to be doctested: ``` def foo(): """ >>> assert True """ ``` Then, I run pytest with `--doctest-modules`. It completes one test on "mod.py" and it passes. Furthermore, if anything in the session scope is required by the doctest, it won't yet be setup. It seems that doctests are run outside of the test session. I understand that session scope fixtures [are meant to serve as test setup and teardown](http://stackoverflow.com/a/12600154/70170). However, they seem not to be available for doctests. Is there any way to set up the context for doctests? I'd like to incorporate another fixture from a plugin during setup as well. _______________________________________________ pytest-commit mailing list pytest-commit@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pytest-commit
