define steps as "yield" statements in a generator test function #6

Closed smarie closed 5 years ago

It would seem cool/intuitive to be able to breakdown a test function into steps by just using yield in the test function, thus defining the end of each step.

Of course the main issue is with the custom fixtures that return a new value for each test node: we would need to handle this so as to inject it into the variable already referenced by the generator in execution.
