Class decorators don't work for pytest fixtures inside them

Minimal example:

@freeze_time('2016-02-18')
class TestOrderWithAddressCollection2:

    @pytest.fixture(autouse=True)
    def current_date(self):
        self.now = timezone.now()

    def test_current_date(self):
        assert self.now == timezone.now()

For pytest > 3.7.0 (including 3.8.0) I get:

tests/test_returns/test_domain.py:73 (TestOrderWithAddressCollection2.test_current_date)
FakeDatetime(2016, 2, 18, 0, 0, tzinfo=<UTC>) != datetime.datetime(2018, 9, 7, 16, 52, 44, 922611, tzinfo=<UTC>)

Expected :datetime.datetime(2018, 9, 7, 16, 52, 44, 922611, tzinfo=<UTC>)
Actual   :FakeDatetime(2016, 2, 18, 0, 0, tzinfo=<UTC>)
 <Click to see difference>

test_domain.py:75: in test_current_date
    assert self.now == timezone.now()
E   assert datetime.datetime(2018, 9, 7, 16, 52, 44, 922611, tzinfo=<UTC>) == FakeDatetime(2016, 2, 18, 0, 0, tzinfo=<UTC>)
E    +  where datetime.datetime(2018, 9, 7, 16, 52, 44, 922611, tzinfo=<UTC>) = <tests.test_returns.test_domain.TestOrderWithAddressCollection2 object at 0x7f30b9f21630>.now
E    +  and   FakeDatetime(2016, 2, 18, 0, 0, tzinfo=<UTC>) = <function now at 0x7f30c1023950>()
E    +    where <function now at 0x7f30c1023950> = timezone.now

For pytest 3.7.0 it passes.
