[FR] when fixture is not found, but avaliable in siebling conftests, give them as hints
What's the problem this feature will solve?
when moving some fixtures from a pytest plugin to a conftest, i missed a very specific use in a sibling file
# excerpt of directory structure
mypkg:
fixtures: fixture was here
tests:
conftest.py: fixture is here now
test_foo.py: uses fixture
utils:
tests:
test_bar: uses fixture
as i was seeing the errors for the missing fixture,
i kept reading the last parts of the filenames (tests/... in good old PEBKAC fashion
completely missing the fact hat the prefix was indeed different (mypkg/tests vs mypkg/utils/tests)
the error simply told me fixture 'myfixyture' not found + a list of available fixtures, which albeit correct, just fueled my misguided Monday morning focus
Describe the solution you'd like
in addition to the error telling the name i would like to see the additional details displayed
fixture 'myfixture' not found
hint: definitions of 'myfixture' found in 'mypkg/tests/conftest.py'
> available fixtures for `mypkg/utils/tests/test_bar.py': ...
