`request.node.get_marker('name')` returns `None` for markers applied in classes

[norbertpy]

I don't know why, but I can't get the marker from my fixture. The request.node.get_marker() seems to return None regardless of the marker applied to class:

    @pytest.fixture(scope='class')
    def my_fixture(request):
        marker = request.node.get_marker('joe') # Is always None


    @pytest.mark.joe
    class TestMarker(object):

        def test_marker(self, my_fixture):
            assert True

I even registered the marker in my pytest.ini file:

    # content of pytest.ini
    [pytest]
    markers =
        joe: mark a test as joejoejoe

Is this a bug or I'm missing something? Not to mention, I'm using 2.7.2 version.

Update 1:

If I get rid of the class and apply the marker to a function, it'll work:

@pytest.mark.joe
def test_marker(my_fixture):
    assert True

Update 2:

This actually works:

@pytest.fixture(scope='class')
def my_fixture(request):
    marker = next((m for m in request.cls.pytestmark if m.name == 'joe'), None)

I could reproduce the problem in master, thanks for reporting it.

It seems related to markers applied to classes (I updated the title to match this).

@nicoddemus , thank you. Do I get notified if it's fixed?

[nicoddemus]

Yes, you're watching this thread because you submitted this issue. 😄

Thanks again.

this issue is related to marker transfers

i believe the most correct fix would be implementing #891 however it comes with compatibility issues

[The-Compiler]

Removing the milestone here, as this shouldn't block 3.0 and we have #1670 (where I set the milestone to 4.0 for now) to track all marker staining related issues.

[RonnyPfannschmidt]

this one can be solved after #2522

[RonnyPfannschmidt]

fixed in #3317
