In Chapter 4 - Parametrizing Steps I seem to be having issues incorporating target_fixture='basket' to work alongside the changes.

Unsure if this is an issue, or because I am a total newbie and not quite grasped things all that well as yet.
I did have this working in the Chapter 3 Tutorials.

I am essentially stuck at 4 Mins 36 Seconds where you run the tests for the first time, are you able to confirm if this is an issue, or i am doing things incorrectly in the @given step.

Some variations I have tried:
@given(parsers.cfparse('the basket has "{initial:Number}" cucumbers', extra_types=dict(Number=int), target_fixture='basket')) def basket(initial): return CucumberBasket(initial_count=initial)

@given(parsers.cfparse('the basket has "{initial:Number}" cucumbers', target_fixture='basket' extra_types=dict(Number=int))) def basket(initial): return CucumberBasket(initial_count=initial)

After watching further into the video things change a bit, but the same doesn't seemingly work either
@given(parsers.cfparse('the basket has "{initial:Number}" cucumbers', target_fixture='basket', extra_types=EXTRA_TYPES)) def basket(initial): return CucumberBasket(initial_count=initial)

@given(parsers.cfparse('the basket has "{initial:Number}" cucumbers', extra_types=EXTRA_TYPES, target_fixture='basket')) def basket(initial): return CucumberBasket(initial_count=initial)

Can you guide me to do this project...

In the first example of 'given' there is no reference to target_fixture. In modern versions of pytest-bdd you have to state this:

@given("the basket has 2 cucumbers", target_fixture='basket')
def basket():
    return CucumberBasket(initial_count=2)

In the above example, without the target_fixture='basket', the test will fail saying that basket is not defined. Basically given decorators no longer automatically produce fixtures without specifically stating their name using the target.

It's a bit annoying to make the changes and I realise your guides, repos were based on a previous version, but seeing as you're basically THE go to resource on the internet for pytest-bdd learning, it would be very helpful for new learners, if you updated.

I don't want to do a PR because you have video content referencing the original syntax etc.

(BTW, thanks for the great content.)

When running rest API tests from chapter 6 there is an error that all tests are failed due to the second argument "example_converters" can't be found in scenarios function.
The same problem appears when completing this chapter by myself on my own training repo.
Error output log is attached.

Hi Andrew,

I do not know if it is already mentioned but in TAU - Behavior Driven Python with pytest-bdd (https://testautomationu.applitools.com/behavior-driven-python-with-pytest-bdd/chapter7.html#test-web-steps-py) I see that the definition of files with the releated images in Transcripted Summary, Chapter 7, "test_web_steps.py" comes with the screenshot of "web.feature" and "web.feature" with the one of "test_web_steps.py". Please check.

Hope this is the right way to declare this issue. ( I am new in this :-) )

Best Regards,
Nikos
