Getting ResourceInUseException when creating tables.

[Karan-TR]

Using boto3==1.28.62, botocore==1.31.62, urllib3==1.26.15 and moto[all]==5.0.5

@pytest.fixture
def dynamodb_session():
with mock_aws():
dynamo_db = boto3.resource("dynamodb", region_name="us-east-1")
yield dynamo_db

I am using this session to create tables in multiple tests with same name.
I keep getting error saying Table already exists. It works if i explicitly delete the tables, but according to documentation Moto should handle deleting the resources after every test.

Hi @Karan-TR, is that fixture session-scoped? If it is, pytest will only start the mock once per session, so then you would indeed run into the fact that data is persisted across tests.

You can use @pytest.fixture(scope="function") to make it explicit that this fixture should be re-executed for every test-function.

Hey!

So, I read about it and default scope is always function and I tried explicitly mentioning scope as function but didnt help.

Can you share a stand-alone, completely reproducible test case?

It should indeed work, but it's hard to tell what's going wrong based on just this fixture.
