Learning how test parametrization works, and the power/use of fixtures.
Tests can take parameters if you use the mark.parametrize decorator. This makes it easy to run the same test with different arguments.
If you need to preprocess a parameter with some common boilerplate, you can use the indirect= parameter and that argument will be passed to a fixture of the same name.That variable will become whatever the fixture returns or yields for the test. This seems useful for when you need to spoof a file, or connect to a db, or anything that requires some "setup"
and "teardown" that would clutter your test.
