Pytest setup/teardown hooks for session

Question

Pytest has setup and teardowns hooks for module, class, method .

I want to create my custom test environment in setup (before start of test session) and cleanup after all tests will be finished. In other words, how can I use hooks like setup_session and teardown_session ?

Answer 1

These hooks work well for me:

def pytest_sessionstart(session):
    # setup_stuff

def pytest_sessionfinish(session, exitstatus):
    # teardown_stuff

But actually next fixture with session scope looks much prettier:

@fixture(autouse=True, scope='session')
def my_fixture():
    # setup_stuff
    yield
    # teardown_stuff
