Import external conftest.py

[TheCaffinatedDeveloper]

We have a python package (Package A) that we maintain and is consumed by a large project. Package A does a bunch of stuff. Package A also has a conftest.py that we would like to import into the current project. from PackageA import conftest for example. It is easy to maintain conftest in Package A and don't want to make a separate plugin if it can be avoided. How can I make this happen?

Simply importing this conftest into a root conftest.py in the current project does not seem to be enough to have pytest discover these fixtures.

Silly me, I was importing from PackageA import conftest but it should be from PackageA.conftest import * (or just what is needed)
