I am new to pytest. I have 10 test files which has multiple tests defined in each test file like below

test_repo
   - features
   -step_defs
      - stress_tests
         -file1 (10 test cases)
         -file2 (3 test cases)
      - functional_tests
        - file2 (2 test cases)
        - file3 (20 test cases)

and so on.

My problem statement is - when i initiate stress tests i want to setup and tear down like below

   - setup testdb
      - run stress tests file 1 and file2 on testdb
   - tear down delete testdb after all tests are run.

So i want to setup creation and deletion of DB only once and run all 13 test cases from stress_tests.

I tried pytest_fixtures(scope="session") they get reused or called upon each test cases.

Is there a way where i can call the creation of db and dleetion of db only once after all tests run completed?

Using session in fixture scope will be automatically deleted the db after all tests have been run. Based on the documentation it was said that

session: the fixture is destroyed at the end of the test session.

So you dont need to worry about delete the database

For creation of the db itself, i think you can achieve this by define the session scoped fixture in shared conftest.py module
