Fixture django_db_setup stopped working when upgrading from 4.6 to 4.7

I've been using a custom django_db_setup fixture which has worked for years. After upgrading from 4.6 to 4.7 this suddenly doesn't work anymore, resulting in the following error:

RuntimeError: Database access not allowed, use the "django_db" mark, or the "db" or "transactional_db" fixtures to enable it.

This might be a bug. Anybody any idea how to fix this from 4.7? The fixture is something like this:

@pytest.yield_fixture(scope="session", autouse=True)
def django_db_setup(django_db_blocker):
    with django_db_blocker.unblock():
        # Code that requires DB access and populates data required for all tests.
        Model.objects.create()

        # At this point the DB setup for the tests is complete
        yield

Shouldn't your yield be aligned with the with?

@pytest.yield_fixture(scope="session", autouse=True)
def django_db_setup(django_db_blocker):
    with django_db_blocker.unblock():
        # Code that requires DB access and populates data required for all tests.
        Model.objects.create()

    # At this point the DB setup for the tests is complete
    yield

Thanks for the suggestion, it doesn't solve it unfortunately.

Somehow it always worked without marking the individual tests with pytest.mark.django_db until now.... Fixed for me, so I'm closing this issue.

Reopening because the problem still occurs when running this in my CI pipeline. Downgrading to 4.6 fixes it.

After updating pytest-django from v4.4 to v4.8, I'm experiencing the same database access error despite using @pytest.mark.django_db. This issue(https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-django/issues/1118) also seems to be the same one.
