Good morning/afternoon,
I hope this is the right place to post this. I’ve been using PyTest for a
while but recently come across someone else’s fixture which made me wonder if
I’m doing this right. Basically I’ve been creating a fixture like and adding a
finalizer like so:
@pytest.fixture(scope=‘function’)
def my_fixture(request):
# Code that does something e.g. creates a database record
rec = DBObject()
def clean_up():
# Code required to clean up the fixture code and return the state back to
the
...
request.addfinalizer(clean_up)
return rec
However, I’ve seen fixtures written using yield instead e.g.
@pytest.fixture(scope=‘function’)
def my_fixture(request):
# Code that does something e.g. creates a database record
rec = DBObject()
yield rec
# Code required to clean up the fixture code and return the state back to the
...
Can I ask, is there any real difference between the two approaches? Is there a
preferred method and if so why?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Keith
