I have a case where I need a list of fixtures (similar ones) inside a test case and perform same operation with those fixtures.
For ex:
def testcase(fixture1, fixture2, fixture3):
# do some operation with fixture1
# do the same operation with fixture2
# do the same operation with fixture3
The thing is I have multiple such fixtures. Around 15 or so.
I'm looking for a way where I can mention these fixtures in a list like
fixtures_list = [fixture1, fixture2, fixture3, ...]
and update the list whenever needed.
And use a for loop inside the test case to perform operations on with the fixture like
for fixture in fixtures_list:
#do something with fixture
But I'm unable to do it as we must definitely pass the fixture to the test case.
Is there any way to overcome this?
I was able to achieve this by creating another fixture and returning the fixtures inside that fixture.
def fixture_that_returns_other_fixtures(fix1, fix2, fix3):
return fix1, fix2, fix3
and used fixture_that_returns_other_fixtures
in all other tests wherever needed.
