I have a use case where I may use fixture multiple times inside a test in a "context manager" way. See example code below:
in conftest.py
class SomeYield(object):
def __enter__(self):
log.info("SomeYield.__enter__")
def __exit__(self, exc_type, exc_val, exc_tb):
log.info("SomeYield.__exit__")
def generate_name():
name = "{current_time}-{uuid}".format(
current_time=datetime.now().strftime("%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M-%S"),
uuid=str(uuid.uuid4())[:4]
)
return name
@pytest.yield_fixture
def some_yield():
name = generate_name()
log.info("Start: {}".format(name))
yield SomeYield()
log.info("End: {}".format(name))
in test_some_yield.py
def test_some_yield(some_yield):
with some_yield:
pass
with some_yield:
pass
Console output:
INFO:conftest:Start: 2017-12-06-01-50-32-5213
INFO:conftest:SomeYield.__enter__
INFO:conftest:SomeYield.__exit__
INFO:conftest:SomeYield.__enter__
INFO:conftest:SomeYield.__exit__
INFO:conftest:End: 2017-12-06-01-50-32-5213
Questions:
- If I have some setup code in SomeYield.enter and cleanup code in SomeYield.exit, is this the right way to do it using fixture for multiple calls in my test?
- Why didn't I see three occurrences of enter and exit? Is this expected?
