tmp_path fixture with session scope

[pawamoy]

Is there an easier way to get a session-scoped tmp_path than this?

@pytest.fixture(scope="session")
def tmp_path(tmp_path_factory):
    basetemp = tmp_path_factory.getbasetemp()
    basetemp = basetemp.relative_to(basetemp.parents[0])
    return tmp_path_factory.mktemp(basetemp)

I'm not even sure it will use the same directory structure as the built-in tmp_path 😕

EDIT: I'm now using this instead:

@pytest.fixture(scope="session")
def tmp_path(tmp_path_factory):
    return tmp_path_factory.mktemp("data")

I'm now using this instead:

Yes, that's the way. I recommend using a different name than tmp_path however, since that is already used by the builtin function-scoped fixture.

Alright, thank you @bluetech !
