py.test 2.3.5: generative tests that use fixtures?

Is it possible to pass fixtures to pytest generative tests?

import py.test

@py.test.fixture(scope="module")
def fixture():
    return True

def test_1(fixture):
    def checker(datum):
        assert datum == fixture
    for i in [True, True, True]:
        # Does not work.
        yield checker, i
        # Does work.
        #checker(i)

The above code produces

>       for i, x in enumerate(self.obj()):
            name, call, args = self.getcallargs(x)
E           TypeError: test_1() takes exactly 1 argument (0 given)

We use py.test 2.3.5 from Debian.

Don't know exactly what yield inside test definition suppose to do.

There is yield in fixtures Fixture functions using “yield” / context manager integration that works not as one expects at first.

If you want to iterate the same test over a sequence of fixtures you probably need Parametrizing a fixture
