Pytest: Are there hooks for module setup/teardown?

[yoyoyopcp]

There are many hooks around setting up/tearing down functions and there are hooks for session start/finish, but are there any for modules?

GitMate.io thinks possibly related issues are https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/265 (teardown method called even for skipped tests (and setup isn't)), https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2205 (optimize io capture setup/teardown), https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/91 (Package-level setup and teardown), https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2718 (Please consider adding context manager versions of setup/teardown), and https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/377 (nose's .setUp() and .tearDown() are not supported).

Hi @yoyoyopcp,

The short answer is no, the closest I can think of are the pytest_fixture_setup and pytest_fixture_post_finalizer hooks when they are used for module-scoped fixtures.

This might be helpful:

import pytest

@pytest.fixture(autouse=True, scope='module')
def module_setup_teardown():
    print("MODULE SETUP!!!")
    yield
    print("MODULE TEARDOWN!!!")


def test1():
    print("TEST1!!!")


def test2():
    print("TEST2!!!")

$ pytest -s test.py

Plugins can just make a internal fixtures
