Pytest Parametrize fixture nod found

Trying to do test files in pycharm with pytest and I repeatedly get the "fixture [variable name] not found. All that I could find regarding this issue are cases of misspelling parametrize.

liste_paie = []
def calculer_paie_employe(tauxh,heures):
    total = tauxh * heures
    impot = total * 0.20
    net = total - impot
    liste_paie = [heures, tauxh, total, impot, net]
    return liste_paie
pytest.mark.parametrize("var1,var2,expected_1,expected_2,expected_3", [(14.7 , 25,367.5,73.5,294), (20 , 15, 300, 60, 240),
                                                                (15.6 ,  23.9, 372.84, 75.568, 300)])
def test_calculer_paie_employe(var1,var2, expected_1, expected_2, expected_3):
    calculer_paie_employe(var1,var2)
    assert liste_paie[2] == expected_1 and liste_paie[3] == expected_2 and liste_paie[4] == expected_3 

When I run it I get:

test setup failed
E fixture ‘var1’ not found

Final set of data should fail to pass. (this is intentional)

>Solution :

You must use it as a decorator, i.e. use the @ syntax:

liste_paie = []
def calculer_paie_employe(tauxh,heures):
    total = tauxh * heures
    impot = total * 0.20
    net = total - impot
    liste_paie = [heures, tauxh, total, impot, net]
    return liste_paie

import pytest

@pytest.mark.parametrize(
    "var1,var2,expected_1,expected_2,expected_3", [
        (14.7, 25,   367.5,  73.5,   294),
        (20,   15,   300,    60,     240),
        (15.6, 23.9, 372.84, 75.568, 300)
    ])
def test_calculer_paie_employe(var1,var2, expected_1, expected_2, expected_3):
    liste_paie = calculer_paie_employe(var1,var2)
    assert liste_paie[2] == expected_1 and liste_paie[3] == expected_2 and liste_paie[4] == expected_3 

a pytest run will then produce:

Note that I’ve changed the code to use the return value, since the assignment to liste_paie in calculer_paie_employe doesn’t change the global variable (because you’re missing the global keyword – but using the return value is better practice anyways…)
