The statically-computed fixture closure of a test item doesn't properly handle transitive dependencies through overridden fixtures, as demonstrated in the failing test below:
import pytest
@pytest.fixture
def db(): pass
@pytest.fixture
def app(db): pass
class TestClass:
# Overrides module-level app, doesn't request `db` directly, only transitively.
@pytest.fixture
def app(self, app): pass
def test_something(self, request, app):
# Dynamic fixture closure calculated during run phase. Works.
assert 'db' in request.fixturenames
# Static fixture closure calculated during collection phase. Fails, but should work.
assert 'db' in request.node.fixturenames
