​​factory as fixture​​模式可以帮助解决在一次测试中需要多次使用​​fixture​​的情况。该​​fixture​​不是直接返回数据，而是返回一个生成数据的函数。这个函数可以在测试中被多次调用。

​​Factories​​可以根据需要设置参数:

@pytest.fixture
def make_customer_record():
    def _make_customer_record(name):
        return {"name": name, "orders": []}

    return _make_customer_record


def test_customer_records(make_customer_record):
    customer_1 = make_customer_record("Lisa")
    customer_2 = make_customer_record("Mike")
    customer_3 = make_customer_record("Meredith")

如果​​factory​​创建的数据需要管理，​​fixture​​可以处理:

@pytest.fixture
def make_customer_record():

    created_records = []

    def _make_customer_record(name):
        record = models.Customer(name=name, orders=[])
        created_records.append(record)
        return record

    yield _make_customer_record

    for record in created_records:
        record.destroy()


def test_customer_records(make_customer_record):
    customer_1 = make_customer_record("Lisa")
    customer_2 = make_customer_record("Mike")
    customer_3 = make_customer_record("Meredith")
