Pytest Tutorial: Scope of Pytest Fixture Functions | Pytest Fixtures

Pytest fixtures are one of the core features that make pytest stand out above other test frameworks. Fixtures are functions that are run by pytest before (and sometimes after) the actual test functions. The code in the fixture can do whatever you want it to. You can use fixtures to get a data set for the tests to work on. For e.g. you want to setup DB connection, or initialize webdriver and test browser if talking in terms of selenium UI tests.
Like normal functions, fixtures also have scope and lifetime. The default scope of a pytest fixture is the function scope. Apart from the function scope, the other pytest fixture scopes are – module, class, and session.
Fixtures are created when first requested by a test, and are destroyed based on their scope:
• function: Runs once per test, this is the default value of the fixture scope. The fixture is destroyed at the end of the test.
• class: Runs once per class of tests
• module: Runs once per module
• session: Runs once per session
