A simple model_bakery.baker wrapper to serve as a Pytest fixture

[paduszyk]

This is a discussion/question kind of issue.

I have recently worked with a test suite (run with Pytest) in which basically each module uses the import:

from model_bakery import baker

I realised that baker module is actually a good (?) candidate for a fixture, so I wrote a simple wrapper like:

import pytest
from model_bakery import baker as _baker


@pytest.fixture
def baker():
    return _baker

If it's put in the root conftest.py, then I don't to need the import, but can use baker a regular fixture. For example:

@pytest.mark.django_db
def test_domain_str(baker):  # <- in place of the model_bakery.baker import
    # Arrange.
    domain = baker.make(
        "evaluation.Domain",
        name="natural sciences",
    )

    # Act.
    domain_str = str(domain)

    # Assert.
    assert domain_str == "natural sciences"

What would you say to extend the model_bakery (or develop a separate project for a plugin) by such a fixture?

Alternatively, one could develop this idea as a separate plugin for Pytest.
