how do people handle

pytest

folders for different subprojects which share

conftest.py

fixtures? Right now I'm putting shared test utilities into a common non-conftest.py module, then having a conftest.py file local to each subproject which imports the utilities and applies the pytest

fixture

wrapper. This seems to work alright and eliminates duplication of the fixture logic, but the fixtures themselves still need to be duplicated to apply the

fixture

wrapper. Feels like I'm probably missing a way to share the actual

conftest.py

between tests in various directories / subprojects

I wonder if you can use a

python_test_utils

specific to this shared

conftest

and put explicit dependency on it across subprojects. It still sounds bit icky though. Currently I define subproject specific conftest. We haven’t had use case where we had to share fixtures across multiple sub-projects but i can definitely see this can be the case in future since we have lot of fixtures around mocking aws infra.

I think all my

python_test

targets would need to include the dependency, which would be a pain. although I could probably abstract that behind a macro. I have lots of data-generation and spark fixtures that get shared so it's a problem I'll be tackling soon. In some ways I kinda like having a subproject-specific conftest that explicitly imports the fixtures it cares about from a shared module.
