How to run fixture before mark.parametrize

Question

Sample_test.py

@pytest.mark.parametrize(argnames="key",argvalues=ExcelUtils.getinputrows(__name__),scope="session")
def test_execute():
    #Do something

conftest.py

@pytest.fixture(name='setup',autouse=True,scope="session")
def setup_test(pytestconfig):
    dict['environment']="QA"

As shown in the code above, I need to run the setup fixture before the test_execute method because the getinputrows method requires the environment to read the sheet. Unfortunately, the parametrize fixture gets executed before the setup_test. Is there any way this is possible?

Answer 1

You need to execute the parameter inside the test function, not in the decorator:

@pytest.mark.parametrize("key", [ExcelUtils.getinputrows], scope="session")
def test_execute(key):
    key(__name__)
    #Do something

or bind __name__ to the function call beforehand, but again, call the function inside your test:

@pytest.mark.parametrize("key", [lambda: ExcelUtils.getinputrows(__name__)], scope="session")
def test_execute(key):
    key()
    #Do something

Mind you I am not fully understanding what you're doing, so these examples might or might not make sense.
