I use flakes and pep8 (pytest-flakes and pytest-pep8) and don't get this
error. What you can immediately do but which is not pretty is to use
the old naming scheme together with a decorator:
import pytest
@pytest.fixture
def pytest_funcarg__somefixture(...):
...
This should avoid the pylint warning.
Alternatively, putting the fixture on a class-level might
avoid the problem:
class TestClass:
@pytest.fixture
def fix(self):
....
def test_fix(self, fix):
...
but i haven't tried if pylint likes that.
best,
holger
