Description
I've been happily using pytest for several projects for the past few years.
There's one part about pytest that I still struggle to get behind: The way that fixtures magically match argument names to fixtures -- and apparently I'm not alone in this feeling. I would much rather declare dependencies explicitly in some way using code. I know this would be more verbose, but that's a tradeoff I'm happy to make.
Is it possible to do this in some way with pytest today? If not, would you be open to adding an optional feature for this?
I was thinking perhaps something like the following, using an example adapted from the docs:
import pytest
@pytest.fixture
def smtp_connection():
import smtplib
return smtplib.SMTP("smtp.gmail.com", 587, timeout=5)
@pytest.use_fixture(smtp_connection)
def test_ehlo(connection):
response, msg = connection.ehlo()
assert response == 250
assert 0 # for demo purposes
