Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Understand pytest class-level setup
To run setup once per class, use classmethods named setup_class and teardown_class.Step 2: Analyze options
setup_method runs before each test, __init__ is not used by pytest, and function-scoped fixtures run per test.Final Answer:
Define @classmethod setup_class(cls) and teardown_class(cls) methods -> Option DQuick Check:
Use setup_class/teardown_class for class-level setup [OK]
Quick Trick: Use setup_class and teardown_class for class-wide setup [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES- Using setup_method which runs before each test
- Adding __init__ method expecting pytest to call it
- Using function-scoped fixtures for class-wide resources
