Description:
Pytest 8.4 fails to discover a test fixture withtin a test class when combined with the usage of freezegun.
The below minimal example runs with pytest 8.3.x
Minimal example:

from freezegun import freeze_time
@freeze_time()
class TestA:

def ff(self):
return 1
def test_a(self, ff):

Research direction
Start by running the minimal example with pytest 8.4.1 and 8.3.x alongside freezegun 1.5.2, then trace pytest's fixture discovery for methods inside decorated test classes. Done means the ff fixture is discovered and test_a passes under pytest 8.4 without breaking the existing behavior.
