I’ve defined a fixture that accepts arguments to be used in an integration style test that requires some teardown upon completion. It looks something like this:

@pytest.fixture
def create_user_in_third_party():
   from clients import third_party_client

   def _create_user_in_third_party(user: User):
       third_party_client.create_user(user)

   return _create_user_in_third_party

However, we then would like to clean up the created user once the test’s lifecycle is complete. In a standard fixture, that may look like:

@pytest.fixture
def create_user():
   user = User(name="Jim")
   user.save()
   yield user
   user.delete()

When applying that same paradigm to the fixture that takes args above, I am not seeing the fixture being called at all (returns a generator that isn’t exercising the inner method code).

That code (not working) looks like this:

def create_user_in_third_party():
   from clients import third_party_client

   def _create_user_in_third_party(user: User):
       third_party_client.create_user(user)
       yield # give back control to caller
       third_party_client.delete_user(user)

   return _create_user_in_third_party

is it possible to achieve the above without having to break up creation and deletion into two different fixtures ?
