pytest-erroneous-use-fixtures-on-fixture (PT025)

Added in v0.0.208 · Related issues · View source

Derived from the flake8-pytest-style linter.

Fix is always available.

What it does

Checks for pytest.mark.usefixtures decorators applied to pytest fixtures.

Why is this bad?

The pytest.mark.usefixtures decorator has no effect on pytest fixtures.

Example

import pytest


@pytest.fixture()
def a():
    pass


@pytest.mark.usefixtures("a")
@pytest.fixture()
def b(a):
    pass

Use instead:

import pytest


@pytest.fixture()
def a():
    pass


@pytest.fixture()
def b(a):
    pass
