run a test more than once with pytest.main([])

[jgzzzz]

I want to run tests by calling pytest like this:

tests = ['path\testfile.py::test_init','path\testfile.py::test1','path\testfile.py::test2','path\testfile.py::test_deinit',
'path\testfile.py::test_init','path\testfile.py::test3','path\testfile.py::test4','path\testfile.py::test_deinit']

pytest.main(tests)

How many tests are defined within init and deinit is up to the tester to define in the testsfile.py(if necesary I can explain this logic), My question is: Pytest only runs the test_init and test_deinit only once and for the second line on the command both are not runned, so current pytest output on the log is for example like this:

tests collected: 8

• test_init
• test1
• test2
• test_deinit
• test3
• test4

The output I wish to accomplish is:
tests collected: 8

• test_init
• test1
• test2
• test_deinit
• test_init
• test3
• test4
• test_deinit

This tests control some hardware so init and deinit has to be made to prepare test preconditions.
Thanks for any hints

searchig for answers I found this post https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46387285/pytest-3-2-2-duplicate-test, but in my case Im not redefining the test_init or test_deinit, I just want to run them again, so the --keep-duplicates has no effect for me.

That's what fixture scopes and parameterization is for, reinventing them in a call like that isn't going to cut it

Ok, I understand, I have tried with fixtures and the code works, now the thing is I need to also be able to run the same code with my old framework that gives me an error due to the @pytest.fixture on the setup and teardown functions:

raise Failed(msg=reason, pytrace=pytrace)

Failed: Fixture "setup" called directly. Fixtures are not meant to be called directly,

but are created automatically when test functions request them as parameters.

Is there a way to programatically remove the @pytest.fixture from the setup and teardown? I have tried the package undecorate but had no sucess.

ok sorry the disturbance, the solution was to use test_init.__wrapped and test_deinit.__wrapped and the same fixture from pytest worked with my old framework

[jgzzzz]

the pure pytest solution was to add fixtures to the tests on the input arguments, and no longer use/passed init and deinit as tests as on my post above:

@pytest.fixture
def init_system():
    print("This is init_system")


@pytest.fixture
def deinit_system():
    yield
    print("this is deinit_system ")

I have explain how I added the fixtureas after test collection on this post: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/76079122/run-a-test-more-than-onces-with-pytest-main/76140534#76140534
