Description

I am trying to use parameterized fixture in my pytest-bdd framework. Normal fixture works fine. But If I am passing parameters, it gives below error

""The requested fixture has no parameter defined for test:""

Below is my code(Sample). Waht is the correct usage here?

@pytest.fixture(params=[1,2])
def ba_data(request):
print("this is fixture")
return request.param

@given(parsers.cfparse('Collect testdata'))
def required_data(ba_data):
print(ba_data)

actual need behind this:
I wanted to run entrire scenario multiple times, with dynamically generated data

Research direction

Start by reproducing the shown parameterized ba_data fixture and the @given step in a minimal pytest-bdd scenario. Read how pytest-bdd resolves fixtures for scenario steps, then verify that the scenario can run multiple times with dynamically generated data without the reported missing-parameter error.
