ward.fixtures

Standard API

ward.fixtures.fixture(func=None, *, scope: Optional[Union[ward.models.Scope, str]] = <Scope.Test: 'test'>)

Decorator which will cause the wrapped function to be collected and treated as a fixture.

Parameters
  • func – The wrapped function which should yield or return some data required to execute a test.

  • scope – The scope of a fixture determines how long it can be cached for (and therefore how frequently the fixture should be regenerated).

ward.fixtures.using(*using_args, **using_kwargs)

An alternative to the default param method of injecting fixtures into tests. Allows you to avoid using keyword arguments in your test definitions.
