[pytest-dev] top-level conftest.py not recognized when running tests in sub-directories

[Jens Hoffmann]

Okay, writing the example I found out what the actual problem is:


In the minimal example the fixture *is* executed, before any test but 
*after* my test classes setup_method.


I though expect that a session fixture is executed also before a classes 
setup_method (use case: fixture sets up DB, setup_method sets up some 
tables);


Am I wrong?
