On a recent episode of PythonBytes, I suggested it's hard to come up with good examples for pytest autouse fixtures, as there aren't very many good reasons to use them. James Falcon was kind enough to reach out and correct me.
In this episode, we describe:
- what fixtures are
- what autouse fixtures are
- great reasons to use them
