How to use Hypothesis with function scoped fixtures?

[MaxG87]

Hello,

I am a long-time user of hypothesis. Thank you very much for the great project! It is amazing.

Unfortunately, I somehow stopped to use hypothesis because it seems to be incompatible with pytest's function scoped fixtures. This means I often end up implementing test data generation on my own, which is much less elegant and much less comprehensive as it could be by using hypothesis. I am writing this issue to kindly ask whether there are updates or new workarounds I am not aware of.

I am aware of #377 and that it was closed some years ago. I am also aware of the documentation and possibility to suppress the HealthCheck and proceed with executing the function scoped fixture just once.

However, I would consider it not elegant to always tidy up at the end of a test using a function scoped fixture. Also, it might be error prone. I therefore wanted to ask whether there are some improvements I missed or that are planned.

Again, thank you for that fascinating library!

Hi Max! No changes to the situation in the docs - function-scoped fixtures are only executed once for all the examples; if that's OK you can just suppress the healthcheck. If not, then you'd need to find a non-fixture approach such as a context manager. We don't have any plans to change this, though I'd probably accept a PR which did so.
