pytest-fixture-positional-args (PT002)

Added in v0.0.208 · Related issues · View source

Derived from the flake8-pytest-style linter.

What it does

Checks for pytest.fixture calls with positional arguments.

Why is this bad?

For clarity and consistency, prefer using keyword arguments to specify fixture configuration.

Example

import pytest


@pytest.fixture("module")
def my_fixture(): ...

Use instead:

import pytest


@pytest.fixture(scope="module")
def my_fixture(): ...
