Hi,

The example below seems to always lead to the same tests execution order, in both pytest 2, 3, and 4. However the order is counter intuitive:

import pytest @pytest.fixture(params=[(1, 2), (3, 4)], ids=str) def arg1_arg2_root(request): return request.param @pytest.fixture def arg1(arg1_arg2_root): return arg1_arg2_root[0] @pytest.fixture def arg2(arg1_arg2_root): return arg1_arg2_root[1] @pytest.fixture(params=[5, 6]) def arg3(request): return request.param def test_order(arg1, arg2, arg3): pass

leads to

<..>::test_order[5-(1, 2)] <..>::test_order[5-(3, 4)] <..>::test_order[6-(1, 2)] <..>::test_order[6-(3, 4)] 

However it seems counter-intuitive to me. Indeed all the fixtures are function-scopes fixtures, and the function uses arg1 (so, arg1_arg2_root) first, then arg2 (same root), then arg3. I would therefore expect:

<..>::test_order[(1, 2)-5] <..>::test_order[(1, 2)-6] <..>::test_order[(3, 4)-5] <..>::test_order[(3, 4)-6] 

Do you agree ? If so that's maybe a bug happening when the fixture closure is computed?
