[🐛 Bug]: Unable to access methods of WebDriver class when the WebDriver instance is passed to test class from conftest.py

[Shipinpk]

What happened?

Not getting any suggestion regarding the webdriver in test class. ( Both in pycharm and vscode ) The code is working fine but its very difficult to type all the code manually without giving the suggestions.

How can we reproduce the issue?

Created conftest.py

code :
import pytest
from selenium import webdriver

@pytest.fixture(scope="class", autouse=True)
def driverInit(request):
    driver = webdriver.Chrome()
    driver.maximize_window()
    driver.implicitly_wait(10)
    driver.get("https://opensource-demo.orangehrmlive.com/web/index.php/auth/login")
    request.cls.driver = driver
    yield
    driver.close

Test class file

Code :

import pytest
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

@pytest.mark.usefixtures("driverInit")
class TestOne:

    def test_loginScenario(self):
        self.driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//input[@name='username']").send_keys("Admin")
        self.driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//input[@name='password']").send_keys("admin")
        self.driver.

here after the self.driver. no suggestion?

I am not able to reproduce. Can you share a complete project so we can check it?

Also, how come it works for the first two find_element and not anymore?

PythonVsCode.zip Hi @diemol The issue is am not getting any suggestions after self.driver. ? The above 2 lines of code were written manually without any suggestions. Note : The execution is working fine no issue for that

But according to the suggestion of self.driver. is the probelm. In future we have to write a lots of code, so without suggestion or auto completion manually writing all the codes like find_element is very difficult and it will leads to make confusion.

Here I attached a sample code for this. Please let me know if you need more details.

Would this not be an IDE issue? I'm not 100% sure what can even be done from this end.

Tried with VScode and pycharm edition, the same issue is still there irrespective of IDE. So its not an IDE issue
