pytest: Adding fixture in the test file instead of conftest.py

Question

I am new to Python and I have a doubt in pytest

test_client.py

# Simple Example tests

import pytest

def test_one():
   assert False == False

def test_two():
   assert True == True

def cleanup():
   # do some cleanup stuff

conftest.py

import pytest
import test_client

@pytest.fixture(scope="session", autouse=True)
def do_clean_up(request):
    request.addfinalizer(test_client.cleanup)

Is it possible to move the fixture defined in conftest.py to the test_client.py thereby eliminating having conftest.py

Answer 1

Yes. Why didn't you simply try? ;)

Fixtures are put in conftest.py files to be able to use them in multiple test files.
