Is dynamic updation of fixture scope possible ?

[tejas3190]

Like using the same fixture that may have a different scope for setup & teardown based on test cases calling? Are this possible, Thanks

Here's a quick checklist in what to include:

• Include a detailed description of the bug or suggestion
• pip list of the virtual environment you are using
• pytest and operating system versions
• Minimal example if possible

Hi,

This is not possible, and probably very hard (impossible?) to implement in the current architecture. I would recommend just using different fixture names. You can avoid duplication by making the fixture call another function which is responsible to create the fixture value. For example:

@pytest.fixture(scope='session')
def foo_session():
    return create_foo()

@pytest.fixture(scope='module')
def foo_module():
    return create_foo()

And so on. Then each fixture can decide the scope as usual.

I'm closing this for now but feel free to follow up with any questions.
