Question

What are the different Fixture Scopes in Pytest?

Answer 1

Hey Julia, a fixture’s scope defines how many times a fixture will be invoked and a Fixture can have 4 Scopes:

1. Module: If the Module scope is defined, the fixture will be created/invoked only once per module.

2. Class: With Class scope, one fixture will be created per class object.

3. Session: With the Session scope, the fixture will be created only once for entire test session. This is mainly used to manage Webdriver sessions.

4. Function: This is the default value for fixture scope and the fixture is executed/run once per test session.
