Hi Floris,
to be sure i understand your use-case: could you invent
an API/example that you'd like to see working?
FYI, i am considering introducing a slightly higher level
mechanism on top of funcargs, dealing with (parametrizable)
resources. Something like:
@py.test.mark.resourcefactory(scope="session", argnames=['foo', 'bar'])
def myfactory(request):
if request.argname == "foo":
...
elif request.argname == "bar":
...
The request object would be what pytest_funcarg__NAME get but
this would allow free naming and have a single factory become
responsible for multiple funcargs and allow to declare scope
reather than having to invoke request.cached_setup(). Instead
of the latter, one could write "request.addfinalizer()" which
would default to the declared scope.
Happy about any thoughts on this but mainly i mention this
consideration here in case it would fit with your use case.
best,
holger
