use @pytest.fixture() over @pytest.fixture

Configuration

• pytest-fixture-no-parentheses
  Boolean flag specifying whether @pytest.fixture() without parameters should have parentheses.
  If the option is set to false (the default), @pytest.fixture() is valid and @pytest.fixture is an error.
  If set to true, @pytest.fixture is valid and @pytest.fixture() is an error.

Examples

Bad code (assuming pytest-fixture-no-parentheses set to false):

import pytest

@pytest.fixture
def my_fixture():
    ...

Good code:

import pytest

@pytest.fixture()
def my_fixture():
    ...

Rationale

• to enforce consistency between all fixtures in a codebase
