Question with type hinting and pytest plugins

[Evan0000000000]

Hi y'all, using Pycharm, pytest, and pytest-mock. While the pytest-mock mocker fixture works perfectly I can't get autocomplete of available methods and objects to work in my tests.

I had the understanding that pytest fixtures should provide typing I'm not sure I'm doing something wrong or if it's a peculiarity of pytest-mock or something else.

I think PyCharm has their own type-checker thingy written in Java. Most of the ecosystem uses MyPy to verify that typing works. I recommend you to take this to them (JB).

There's a need for a mypy plugin to expand to pluggy hooks and pytest fixtures

You need to type it for PyCharm to provide auto completion:

from pytest_mock import MockerFixture def test(mocker: MockerFixture): ...

This is true for any pytest fixture.
