`request`

The request fixture is a special fixture that provides information about the requesting test function. It also exposes a param attribute when the fixture is parametrized, as shown in the example above.

Fixtures commonly use request to adjust their behavior dynamically based on the calling test.

python

# conftest.py
import pytest

@pytest.fixture
def get_info(request):
    """A fixture that uses 'request' to get the test's name."""
    return f"Test called: {request.node.name}"

# test_example.py
def test_using_request(get_info):
    # 'get_info' receives the name of this test function
    assert "test_using_request" in get_info
    print(get_info)
