[Solved] Identify the error in the following pytest test code using a fixture: import pytest @pytest.fixture def data(): return 42 def test_data(data): result = data() assert result == 42 | PyTest

PyTest - Fixtures

Identify the error in the following pytest test code using a fixture:

import pytest

@pytest.fixture
def data():
    return 42

def test_data(data):
    result = data()
    assert result == 42

AMissing @pytest.mark.usefixtures decorator

BCalling fixture as a function inside the test causes an error

CFixture name cannot be the same as test function argument

DFixture must return a string, not an integer

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Review fixture usage in test
The fixture data is passed as an argument to the test function.
Step 2: Identify incorrect call
Inside the test, data() is called as if it were a function, but pytest already passes the fixture's return value. Calling it again causes a TypeError.
Final Answer:
Calling fixture as a function inside the test causes an error -> Option B
Quick Check:
Fixture argument is value, not callable [OK]

Quick Trick: Do not call fixture argument as function inside test [OK]
