How do I get Flake8 to work with F811 errors?

Question

We\'re using flake8 to test our code, and we\'re using pytest with fixtures. The following code:

from staylists.tests.fixtures impo         


        

Answer 1

There are two "best practices" for sharing fixtures:

1. define them in a conftest above both test modules
   • pytest will automatically share them between the two tests
2. define a pytest plugin which exposes fixtures
   • pytest will make your fixtures available to all tests

bringing a fixture into a scope via import side-effects will trigger the issues you're seeing and is not recommended
