How to Share Fixtures Across Tests with pytest conftest
Learn how to define pytest fixtures in conftest.py and control their scope (function, module, session) so every test in a directory reuses the same setup and teardown.
import pytest
@pytest.fixture
def sample_data():
"""Simple fixture available to all tests in this directory."""
return {"name": "Alice", "age": 30}
@pytest.fixture(scope="session")
def session_data():
"""Fixture created once per test session."""
return {"session_id": 12345}
@pytest.fixture(scope="mo…How to Mock OAuth2 Bearer Token Auth Middleware in Python
Create a simple OAuth2 bearer token authentication middleware that verifies signed tokens and enforces scope-based access control.

A simple Python class that checks user scopes against required permissions for a resource, returning an authorization decision.
class ScopeAuthorization:
def __init__(self):
self.scopes = {
"read": ["resource:read"],
"write": ["resource:read", "resource:write"],
"admin": ["resource:read", "resource:write", "resource:delete"]
}
