How do I use fixtures in pytest?

In pytest, fixtures are used to set up a context for your tests. You can define a fixture using the @pytest.fixture decorator.

Can you give me an example of a fixture?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

import pytest

def sample_fixture():
    return 42

def test_using_fixture(sample_fixture):
    assert sample_fixture == 42

What if I need to use the fixture in multiple tests?

You can simply use the fixture name as a parameter in any test function that needs it. Pytest will handle the rest!

Can fixtures also handle setup and teardown?

Yes, you can define setup and teardown logic in fixtures using the yield statement. Everything before yield is setup, and everything after is teardown.
