I am testing (pytest) an application on “Flask”, I have an “href” link that I want to test (it makes a transition to another page), the problem is that this link I have by convention appears on the page if the user is authorized with “login_user()” (flask-login), so naturally the context of the application “Flask” is required. For the below presented “client” fixture there is both context and authorization, how to do the same for the “driver” fixture or is there a better approach ?

There are such fixturas available:

@pytest.fixture(scope="module")
def new_user():
    """Fixtura creates a UserAdmin user."""
    user = UserAdmin(id=1,
                     username="jenya_1",
                     password=("sha256:600000$9YhgntcGJ2U5uYRk$"
                               "df894224d9d00ac8aaf6a8fe2d6beb312d1540661"
                               "954abb880021945d2887863"))
    return user


@pytest.fixture(scope="session")
def app():
    """Creating an application instance."""
    app = create_app()
    app.config.update({
        "TestingConfig": True,
    })
    app.testing = True
    yield app
    '''with app.test_request_context():
        db.session.remove()
        db.drop_all()'''


@pytest.fixture()
def client(app, new_user):
    """Creating a test client."""
    with app.test_client() as client:
        login_user(new_user)
        yield client


@pytest.fixture()
def runner(app):
    """Creating a client runner."""
    return app.test_cli_runner()


@pytest.fixture(scope="module")
def driver():
    """Initializing the browser driver."""
    driver = webdriver.Chrome()
    yield driver
    driver.quit()

For the test, I use this function(due to lack of context, it doesn’t work):

def test_href_home_page(self, driver):
        driver.get("http://localhost:5000")
        element = WebDriverWait(driver,
                                10).until(
                                    EC.presence_of_element_located(
                                        (By.CLASS_NAME, 'btn-MENU')))
        element.click()
        assert 'Make a choice!' in driver.title

1. I tried adding context and authorization for “drive” in the same way as for “client” – it didn’t help.
2. I tried adding the “with client:” construct to the test function, that didn’t help either.
