Currently, I have two packages as part of my test repository with the following folder structure:
Package_A |--__init__.py |--conftest.py |--test_A.py Package_B |--__init__.py |--test_B.py
As part of this, my requirement is to call fixtures defined in Package_A/conftest.py from Package_B/test_B.py. I understand that this could be done easily if Package B was within Package A. However, because of certain requirements that is not possible. Is there a way I could just import all fixtures defined in conftest of Package A into Package B instead of duplicating them into the package. Thanks.

After searching a little further, was able to solve this through the following re-structuring and using pytest plugins instead:
Package_A |--__init__.py |--fixtures.py - Define the fixtures to be shared across packages |--conftest.py (Import fixtures.py by using 'pytest_plugins') |--test_A.py Package_B |--__init__.py |--conftest.py (Import fixtures.py from Package A by using 'pytest_plugins') |--test_B.py
