"my.cool.plugin" will have a "global" session scope which means test/a and test/b will share the same session-scoped fixture instances. > My real but similar setup seems to split the scope into chunks of > modules which contain test files which declare pytest_plugins... but > may be I am wrong... > Is that possible? I don't understand the question, sorry. Also I am not sure why you use the indirection of "pytest_plugins". why do conftest.py files or setuptools-installed plugijns not work for you? holger _______________________________________________ pytest-dev mailing list pytest-dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pytest-dev
