Fixtures not overriden in directories with similar names

[linards-kalvans]

When fixtures with the same name are defined in neighboring directories with similar names (e.g. aaa and aaa1 as in example below) fixture from only one of the directories is invoked.

I have repeated this with pytest-2.7 and pytest-3.2 on with both python2 and python3 on various Linux OSs.

Consider the following directory/file tree:
pytest
├── aaa
│   ├── conftest.py
│   └── test_fixa.py
├── aaa1
│   ├── conftest.py
│   └── test_fix1.py
├── aaa2
│   ├── conftest.py
│   └── test_fix.py
└── aaaa
├── conftest.py
└── test_fixaa.py

Each conftest.py defines fixture fix, as

import pytest
import os
dir_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))

@pytest.fixture()
def fix():
        print (dir_path)

and tests defined as

def test_fix(fix):
        assert 1

When the tests are run the following output is generated:

$ pytest -vs .

this is a duplicate of #2836 which ws fixed in #2862 - please try with a more recent pytest - i believe the fix is included since 3.2.4
