Make explicit which fixtures a test use

[taliaga]

Hi everyone,

Sometimes in big projects with multiple fixtures (many of which with autouse) I feel it gets tricky to track which fixtures will be used for the test I am about to write and consequently know what will happen behind the scenes. Therefore, I thought it'd be interesting to have a way (a command, maybe?) to show all the fixtures a test will be using (even via autouse declarations).

Has anybody felt the same about it? Would that be worth implementing?

Note: I couldn't find the "issue kind" the pytest/CONTRIBUTING.rst refers to for suggestions. Neither was I able to add labels to this issue.

Thanks for the report! 😄

It seems to be a GitHub limitation the fact that issue submitter can't add labels.

Seems like a good idea for a plugin :)

Hmmm... good idea.

That comment reminded me about pytest-fixture-tools. This functionality seems to fit nicely there, I think. @bubenkoff, what do you think?

I agree, a good place

@taliaga, could you move this issue to pytest-fixture-tools please? I'm closing this here then. 😄
