Hi,

I am new to the pytest and still exploring it. I have been searching extensively for data driven testing modules provided by pytest but could not find anything substantial for it. I did came across that using parametrize it can be done but when I am trying to pass data from fixture to the pytest.mark.paramaetrize it does not accept it, below it the small snippet that I am doing.

@pytest.fixture Def data(): Return data

@pytest.mark.parametrize(“input”,data): Def test_ddt(input): Print input

Executing it says that NameError: name 'data' is not defined

Hi, import pytest @pytest.fixture def data(): return ("data", ) @pytest.mark.parametrize("input", data()) def test_ddt(input): print input is working for me, but I guess the better way is either @pytest.fixture(params=("data", )) def data(request): return request.param def test_ddt(data): print data or perhaps @pytest.mark.parametrize("input", ("data", )) def test_ddt2(input): print input Regards, Berthold

Please do let me know what is the most appropriate and efficient way of achieving data driven testing using pytest.

Thanks in advance!!
