Description
Brief
I am trying to provide pytest a idfn after it has generated a large combinatorial dataset via modular parametrized fixtures.
Context
pytest.mark.parametrize is really useful for quickly generating multiple sets of data for a particular test. It's particularly great when stacked to generate all combinations of multiple parametrized arguments.
pytest provides a mechanism for automatically generating a test id from the params based on whether the param is primitive/non-primitive. It also allows the user to provide an idfn so that the test input can be expressed in a way more relevant to the problem domain.
@pytest.fixture is allowed to be parametrized via params. It is also modular and can use other fixtures, which in turn can be parametrized, but it need not be aware of that.
Using the above 3 properties of pytest, I am able to pass in a single fixture to a test function that uses two other parametrized fixtures, and converts their raw values into a namedtuple that better reflects the problem domain.
However, I am more interested in the composite data produced by the single fixture than the primitive data it acquires from the other fixtures, and would like to reflect this in the output of pytest.
I have tried:
- to pass a
idfnto@pytest.fixture(ids= - to pass a
idfnto@pytest.mark.parametrize(..., ids= - to implement
pytest_make_parametrize_idinconftest.py
all without success.

Quickfix
For this small scenario it's possible to write something along the lines:
@pytest.mark.parametrize("c_define", [
get_c_define(foo, 1),
...
get_c_define(FOO, 10),
],
ids=lambda v: v.string
)
def test_c_define_regex(c_define):
...Which will achieve the desired output, but at the cost of easily extending the tests.
Flaws in the regex could quickly be found with test params:
- c_define.name = "foo_bar"
- c_define.value = "0xF"
- c_define.string = "#define{space}{space}foo{space}{space}1"
And it would be much easier to append these instances to a pytest.mark.parametrize list.
