When using a fixuture with the package scope, the request object is not of the expected type. To be accurate, the request.node is of type Session when one could expect it to be of type Package.

Versions:

• python 3.7.16
• pytest 7.3.1

Example:

import pytest


@pytest.fixture(scope="package")
def package_fixture(request):
    assert False, (type(request.node), request.node)

def test_fixture(package_fixture):
    pass
