The reason for this is a change in the way conftest files are discovered in pytest 2.6.3 [1]. Will push a fix. Florian [1]: http://pytest.org/latest/changelog.html#id1 On 06/10/14 18:43, Bercea, Gheorghe-teodor wrote:

Hi Florian,

I'm trying to run the PyOP2 unit test using 'make test'. The first three tests pass but starting from the 4th test every test which refers to the 'backend' fixture fails: fixture 'backend' not found available fixtures: pytestconfig, x, iter2ind1, iter2ind2, tmpdir, iterset, g, capfd, indset2, xl, recwarn, x2, mat, monkeypatch, iter2ind22, capsys, y, indset use 'py.test --fixtures [testpath]' for help on them.

I was wondering what I'm missing because it seems that 'backend' is in conftest.py but it doesn't seem to get picked up. I'm using pytest 2.6.4.

Let me know if you have any idea about what could be going wrong.

Many thanks,
