Hi Elizabeth,
And sorry for taking a while but i am still not sure i fully understand.
I am pretty sure we can find a solution but i'd like to find one that
fits the problem :)
Could you clarify your problem purely from the test function side?
Particularly, if you have this test:
@params([
['color', 'type'],
{ 'argvalues': [ 'blue', 'cat'] },
{ 'argvalues': ['pink', 'dog'] }
])
def test_example(myfixture, color, type):
# this is the new test we want to add
assert 0
do i understand it right that ``myfixture`` should be indirectly
created by using ["std", "pro"] as respective parameters because
there is a @params decorator? And that for
def test_something(myfixture):
# existing test which only uses std fixture
assert 0
you only want ``myfixture`` created with the "std" parameter?
And that for:
@params([
{'arg1': 1, 'arg2': 2},
{'arg1': 3, 'arg2': 5}
])
def test_old_style(arg1, arg2):
# existing tests which don't use fixtures
assert 0
you don't want any "myfixture" created at all?
cheers,
holger
