<br>
I am sorry about bringing up another frustration with the official<br>
documentation, but ...<br>
<br>
It does not seem simple and easy to write a test class and have setup<br>
and teardown methods with fixtures. The documentation properly<br>
demonstrates a working version of the "old way"; so far so good.<br>
<br>
Yet, I thought being narrow-minded would not be fair, so I gave a try<br>
to the "new way", but I just failed in every way possible that I have<br>
tried. I found some chunk code snippets on Stack Overflow and in the<br>
official documentation, but they are not good.<br>
<br>
I could not find any dedicated example explaining how to achieve such<br>
a simple use case with the "new shiny way". I think the documentation<br>
would need some improvement in pytest. I simply cannot get my head<br>
around to this easily, so I just give up for now since I have to<br>
proceed...<br>
<br>
Currently, I am reverting myself to the "old way", but if you<br>
advertise the "new way" that much, at least give an example for the<br>
generic and common use case (IMHO) that people, including me, have<br>
used in other frameworks and languages. Otherwise, it is just<br>
non-working hype, IMHO. Sorry, I do not like "new shiny ways" that do<br>
not just work.<br>
<br>
Cheers, L.<br>
