Identifing inner test functions from pytest fixture or pytest hooks

[mitzkia]

Hi,

I found your project via: HypothesisWorks/hypothesis#377
I think it is easier to describe my question through an example :) .
Let assume following files.

• conftest.py

def pytest_runtest_setup(item):
    print("\nMessage from pytest setup, pytest item name: [%s]" % item.name)

• test_example.py

from hypothesis import given, settings
from hypothesis.strategies import integers

@settings(max_examples=2,)
@given(integers())
def test_main(subtest, hypothesis_value):
    print("\nMessage from main testcase, test value: [%s]" % hypothesis_value)
    @subtest
    def test_concrete():
        print("\nMessage from concrete testcase, test_value: [%s]" % hypothesis_value)

When I run my test it will produce the following STDOUT output:

...
test_example.py::test_main 
Message from pytest setup, pytest item name: [test_main]
Message from main testcase, test value: [0]
Message from pytest setup, pytest item name: [test_main[]]
Message from concrete testcase, test_value: [0]
Message from main testcase, test value: [193]
Message from pytest setup, pytest item name: [test_main[]]
Message from concrete testcase, test_value: [193]

In my usecase I would like to run pytest hooks (or fixtures) only for "test_concrete" (or inner) like functions.
From pytest_runtest_setup "test_concrete" function is identified as "test_main" + "[]".
It means I should test (in pytest_runtest_setup) if my item.name contains: "[]" or not, which is not so informative.

My question:
Could we identify "test_concrete" (or inner) like functions better than: "my main function" + "[]"

Thank you very much

Ok, after think over this case, it is not so critical :) . I also can make an informative convention in my code:

def is_run_for_inner_test(item):
    return "[]" in item.name
def pytest_runtest_setup(item):
    if is_run_for_inner_test(item):
        do_my_stuff()

So thanks for this plugin, it saves my use-case :)
